John Bean BFH 800 Wheel Balancer - Click to enlarge

Model: EEWB526C

The balancer with the fastest floor-to-floor time in the industry is now a member of Motor Magazine’s Top 20 Tools list for 2007! The BFH 800 is a no-compromise solution for premium wheel balancing. The features that won the BFH 800 this honor - amazing speed, a fully-automated system, and pinpoint accuracy - have now combined with the latest in productivity savings and technology.

The BFH 800, using VPI Imaging Balance technology, provides super accurate wheel balance results. Fully automatic inputs remove the chance for error allowed by other systems. The result is a ride performance to satisfy even the most discriminating driver.

Adding to the wheel service value of the BFH 800, the optional printer provides documented readings before and after the procedure. Your customers will be able to see the value.

You do not have to compromise wheel balancer productivity for added features. Snap-on Equipment introduces the innovative Weight Wizard Weight Management Software*, the perfect compliment to our WeightMiser Weight Reduction Software. These features are industry keys to increased savings and productivity, and they make the BFH 800 a must for any shop.

Weight Wizard*

Weight Wizard Wheel Weight Management Software

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.

WeightMiser

WeightMiser Weight Reduction Software

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!

Key Benefits

  • Hands Down Easiest To Use: Intuitive programming elevates the technician to the expert level. Regardless of the complexity of the vibration problem, the BFH 800 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.

Features

Power Clamp

Power Clamp

Precise clamping is required for super accurate results. The BFH 800 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 Spoke Function

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.

Data Freeze

Data Freeze

Data Freeze is an innovative software feature that when activated (F4) allows the technician to store the inputs of the first tire placed on the balancer for Distance, Width, and Diameter. When the technician balances another tire in the set, the spin cycle is shorter because the balancer uses the stored values for Distance, Width and Diameter. The balancer then needs to get wheel balance data and spoke count. The stored values using Data Freeze will continue to be used until the technician cancels the function (F4 again). This increases your productivity by shortening the cycle time on three of the four tires in a set.

Right the First Time, Every Time

Right the First Time, Every Time

Weight Identification and Placement is critical for proper wheel balance and flawless cosmetic appearance. The BFH 800 can automatically determine the proper weight style needed and calculate all wheel weight combinations without re-spin or guesswork by the technician*. The result is increased productivity and optimum wheel appearance.
