AWB970 Wheel Balancer
Multi-mode LCD balancer for cars and light commercials
Product Overview
AWB970 is an automatic wheel balancer with a fold-down LCD screen and self calibration. It covers dynamic, static and five ALU modes plus split and hide, so weight placement can be matched to the rim in front of the technician. Gram or ounce and millimetre or inch units are selectable, which suits mixed export markets.
What This Machine Changes in the Bay
- Multi-mode balancing covers dynamic, static, ALU1 to ALU5, split and hide, and APS
- Automatic start and stop shortens each cycle
- Self diagnosis and calibration keep the machine in specification without a service visit
- Gram/ounce and millimetre/inch selection suits any market
- Fold-down LCD screen keeps the bay clear when the machine is not in use
Application Scenarios
- Car and light commercial vehicle wheel balancing
- Workshops serving customers with mixed alloy rim profiles
- Markets that quote weights in ounces rather than grams
- Tyre bays where machine footprint matters between jobs
Who It Is For
- Independent workshops and tyre shops
- Light commercial vehicle service centres
- Export distributors supplying multiple measurement standards
- Fast-fit chains standardising a balancer across branches
What It Stops Costing You
- A single balancing mode cannot cover the range of modern alloy rims
- Manual start and stop wastes seconds on every wheel
- Balancers drifting out of calibration produce comebacks and disputed work
- Fixed screens get damaged in a tight bay
