Opti-Line* - Tire Indexing Software
Opti-Line has been developed to measure and minimize tire conicity. Unlike most of the competition, the BFH 1000 is capable of handling wheels with directional tires. Using our software, it is possible to mount a wheel on a vehicle to minimize conicity side effects. When combined with John Bean’s "Balance a Set of Tires" feature, Opti-Line provides a solution to a pull problem on a car that cannot be fixed by a wheel aligner.
In order to measure the tire conicity, the outer tire surface is scanned by the rear laser and the result is calculated into a pull index. After four wheels have been measured, the balancer proposes the best position for each wheel on the vehicle in a way that the wheel pull index on each axle is reduced. After a measurement of a wheel the pull index of the wheel is displayed in the upper right corner of the screen.
The maximum time required for the complete operation is only 60 seconds per wheel, so in less than one minute, the operator has all information available on the wheel.
Set of Wheels Screen
After the wheel has been saved to the set, a clear indication is shown that it is loaded in the set, and if it is a wheel with a directional tire or not. The wheel is then marked by attaching the red tag with number 1 to the valve stem of the wheel. As soon as two wheels with directional tires are loaded for the same side, it is no longer possible to load any further wheels to this side. When the fourth wheel has been measured the "Set Of Wheels 4" screen will be displayed. When the fourth wheel has been entered, the balancer will automatically show which wheel is mounted to the correct position on the vehicle.

Weight Wizard Wheel Weight Management Software tracks both the types of weights and weight sizes that are actually being used. Knowing the most popular usage, the buyer can tailor the weight purchasing requirements by location and avoid excessive expense and waste.
How does Weight Wizard work?
The inner scanner determines the rim edge profile for the weight type as defined by industry recognized standards for clip weight type. The clip shape and weight color is indicated across the top row of the weight usage chart. Weight amounts are listed along the side. Upon un-clamping of the wheel, the weight type (including both clip type and adhesive weight type) and weight amount are written to the Weight Wizard weight usage tracking file.

By recommending lower weight amounts to remove sufficient vibration from a tire and wheel assembly, WeightMiser offers tremendous savings.
How does it work?
When in the WeightMiser mode, software determines the possibility to reduce static and dynamic imbalance below the given thresholds using a single weight. If a single weight approach is feasible, then a single weight is recommended. If not, two-weight balancing is recommended with amounts remaining lower than precision balance recommendations.
WeightMiser also features a Weight Savings screen. This screen is a counter that tracks WeightMiser savings. It accepts input for dollar amounts on the cost of tape and clip type weights (by the pound) and runs daily and cumulative totals, for instant reviews of your savings!
Cutting Edge Technology for Wheel Service
Power Clamp
Precise clamping is required for super accurate results. The BFH 1000 power clamp automatically locks the tire and rim assembly in place. Clamping pressure is automatically monitored for consistent pressure for repeatable results. No additional checking procedures are required.
Automatic Profiling
Readings are compared to internal specifications. In-specification results are indicated by an unmistakable "OK". Out-of-specification readings prompt diagnostic messages for accurate and fast diagnostics and corrective procedures.
Automatic Spoke Function
Cosmetic appearance is very important on today’s expensive wheel styles. During the single spin cycle, spokes are automatically counted. The technician is directed by screen prompts and a laser pointer to apply tape weights behind the spoke(s) for optimum cosmetic appearance.
Tread Depth Detection
To alert your customer of potential danger, the tread depth of every tire is checked automatically. A warning indicator is displayed on the balance screen. Green = GOOD / Yellow = CAUTION / Red = ALERT. A diagnostic message in the on-board HELP text indicates if further diagnostic procedures are recommended.
Rim-Only Runout
The BFH 1000 is perfect for wheel shops that offer custom wheels. Many of today’s alloy wheels have no flat surface suitable for using a mechanical gauge to measure runout. Wheels with styled outer flanges also present a problem when attaching weights. With a push of the button, the BFH 1000 will show the values of the rim runout at the bead seat compared to on board specification limits.
Graphic Displays
Graphic displays supported by digital readouts provide all the information necessary to pinpoint tire and rim out-of-specification conditions and guide the technician to a fast and foolproof one-time solution.
Match Procedure
A single key press displays the matching screen. Index the valve stem, rotate the tire and mark it for a single break and turn matching step. Remount the wheel assembly on the BFH 1000 for a final precision balance step.
Match Recommendation
Percentage of tire and rim contribution helps pinpoint when further diagnostics may be required. Extensive fault-free diagnostics provide on-board support to help any skill level technician quickly make the correct diagnostic decision.
Help Menu
Extensive on-board help menus appear at every phase of the BFH 1000 process. In English and several optional languages to aid any technician.
Automatic Weight Identification
For clip-on weight, the rim edge is automatically measured and the correct clip-on weight style is recommended from the on board profiles. No guessing by the technician, faster productivity, and the best cosmetic results for high customer satisfaction.
For maximum ride performance, the BFH 1000 performs both wheel balance and tire/wheel diagnostics. In just a few seconds, the BFH 1000 will diagnose the entire wheel assembly and show you any non-conformity issues which might exist. The easy-to-read display states what percentage of any problem can be attributed to the wheel or the tire, as well as suggestions for tire and wheel compatibility.
Instant Tire And Wheel Diagnostics
The BFH 1000 features a graphics-driven user interface, supplying all information required for the tire and wheel. A percentage-based indication of reduction of the unbalance force due to runout tells clearly if the tire and wheel needs to be matched. It also displays a proposed matching solution. In addition to being a convenient feature, this can alert you to any potential tire damage. Amazingly, this information is provided in a virtual instant, easily making the BFH 1000 the fastest diagnostic ride performance system on the market.
The BFH 1000 incorporates advanced Virtual Plane Imaging (VPI) technology to assure unparalleled speed, accuracy, durability and ease of use in diagnosing and solving even the most difficult tire/wheel vibration problems. Patented VPI technology assists you in solving vibration problems before they cause a customer complaint. This diagnostic capability comes to your shop with no penalty in technician productivity. The BFH 1000 is fast, easy to operate, and exceptionally accurate for both simple and complex balancing jobs.
Hands Down Easiest To Use:
On-screen prompts and intuitive programming elevates the technician to the expert level. Regardless of the complexity of the vibration problem, the BFH 1000 guides the technician to the absolute solution and to a satisfied customer.
Unmatched Speed:
Fastest floor-to-floor time in the industry. Perform a complete diagnostic check on every balance without a productivity loss.
Unparalleled Accuracy:
Unique front-mounted "side-by-side" piezo system. Competitive balancers use two shaft sensors placed on the left side with the wheel at the far right, putting sensors under different stress and temperatures (since one sensor is always closer to the motor, etc). As done in high-precision, industrial applications, VPI places the tire electronically between the sensor piezo assemblies for unparalleled accuracy.
Best-In-Class Durability:
Designed by a team that has a history of producing the best balancers in the industry. VPI technology adds durability to a balancing system with a proven track record of long service.
