Hunter updates wheel balancer to notify technicians of improper centering

April 19, 2018
The Road Force Elite 4.0 software also features a Balancer Report Card with a specified inner error and outer error amount and a letter grade to optimize weight placement.

Miscentering during wheel balancing is a major cause of improper balancing and customer comebacks.­­ Hunter’s Road Force Elite features Automatic CenteringCheck technology with new 4.0 software checks assembly centering on every spin and notifies the technician of improper centering. 

Road Force Elite 4.0 software also features a Balancer Report Card with a specified inner error and outer error amount and a letter grade to optimize weight placement. Presenting a ‘scorecard’ to the technician after a balance has been completed enhances balancer performance. Hunter’s patented vision system completes a 3D scan of the wheel to determine the accuracy of wheel weight placement, which helps technicans learn on-the-job.

The vision system also enhances Hunter’s patented SmartWeight technology. The system also features automatic spoke detection, which guides technicians to place wheel weights behind the spokes.
