4. DESCRIPTION, ARTIGLIO UNIFORMITY
The ARTIGLIO UNIFORMITy is a universal electro-pneumatic tyre changer for car, off-road
vehicle and van wheels.
It is designed to work effectively on:
- Conventional wheels;
- reverse rim wheels and wheels with no centre hub - (using optional kit);
- runflat tyres with reinforced sidewall - runflat tyres with internal support.
Special working procedures have been specifically studied for these wheels' systems.
N.B. Clamping and/or demounting wheels on vintage cars (cars out of production
for over 30 years), certain rally wheels and wheels for cars approved for off-road
use only may be extremely difficult or even not possible.
ARTIGLIO UNIFORMITy is a machine for demounting, mounting and diagnosing any of the
tyre types listed above with wheel diameter sizes from 12 to 30 inches extremely easily.
Each step in the process is performed with the wheel clamped horizontally on the AR-
TIGLIO UNIFORMITy and perfectly centred on the turntable.
Wheel loading and unloading operations are simplified by an ergonomic wheel lift which
minimises the operator effort required.
The machine's operating principle is entirely innovative, with:
• A wheel centring and clamping system consisting of a handle, cones and flanges, for
working on wheels with centre hole and normal drop centre, reverse rim wheels with
centre hole and wheels without centre hole.
• A pneumatic bead breaking unit consisting of two bead breaker disc holders.
Its pneumatic vertical movement is independent and activated from the console; the
disc horizontal positioning is manual, pneumatically activated from the console and it
allows the simultaneous positioning of the bead breaker discs. Bead breaking is ensured
by the disc movement, with a controlled penetration commanded by an operator.
• A head, installed on a mobile column with a rear opening, consists of a fixed mounting
core facilitating tyre mounting, and a mobile core pivoted on the fixed core for effective
tyre demounting without using the bead lifter lever*
* In a very few cases, an accessory supplied called "manual help" may be of use in sim-
plifying demounting where excessive lubricant has been applied or for tyres coupled
to special rims.
• A measuring system consisting of a laser sensor for geometric measurements of both
the wheel and the wheel and a presser roller for structural measurements of the wheel
only.
• A pedal-controlled pneumatically operated wheel lift which loads and unloads the
wheel to and from the working position
With this machine the following objectives have also been achieved:
