GLOSSARY

Below is a brief description of some technical terms used in this manual.
AWC
Auto Width Calculation acronym
AWD
Auto Width Device acronym
BALANCING CYCLE
Sequence of operations to be performed by the user and the machine from the begin-
ning of the spin until the wheel is braked to a stop after calculating the unbalance values.
CALIBRATION
See SELF-CALIBRATION.
CENTRING
Procedure for positioning the wheel on the wheel balancer shaft to ensure that the shaft
axis corresponds to the wheel rotation axis.
CONE
Conical element with a central hole which, when inserted on the wheel balancer shaft, is
used to centre the wheels having central holes with a diameter ranging between maxi-
mum and minimum values.
DYNAMIC BALANCING
Procedure for unbalance compensation by applying two weights, one on each of the two
wheel sides.
FLANGE (of the wheel balancer)
Circular crown-shaped disk against which the disk of the wheel mounted on the wheel
balancer rests. Also used for keeping the wheel perfectly perpendicular to its rotation axis.
FLANGE (adapter - centring accessory)
Device for supporting and centring the wheel. Also used for keeping the wheel perfectly
perpendicular to its rotation axis.
Mounted on the shaft of the wheel balancer by means of the central bore.
FSP
Fast Selection Program acronym
LOCKING DEVICE
Wheel clamping device on the wheel balancer only used for versions with the automatic
wheel clamping system.
OPT
Optimisation abbreviation.
RING NUT
Wheel blocking device on the wheel balancer, fitted with elements for coupling with the
threaded hub and side pins for tightening it.
RPA
Acronym of Ricerca Posizione Automatica (Automatic Position Search).

SELF-CALIBRATION

This procedure calculates suitable correction coefficients starting from known operat-
ing conditions. It improves the machine accuracy by correcting to a certain extent the
