John Bean VPI System III Wheel Balancer - Click to enlarge

Model: EEWB502B (With Quick Mount Speed Nut)
Model: EEWB502P (With Power Clamping)

The VPI System III features Semi-Automatic Parameter entry of distance, width and diameter data. The technician just places the two data set arms at the rim positions for automatic data entry. Using a fast 6 second cycle time, precision Virtual Plane Imaging technology accurately calculates weight amount and location for super accurate single spin wheel balancing. A specialty mode for weight placement, inside the rim edge and behind the spoke, is standard. This feature is especially important for many OEM and aftermarket wheels requiring wheel balancing along with hidden weights for the best cosmetic appearance. For additional diagnostics the on board matching program can recommend best tire to rim positioning and calculate tire and rim imbalance and provide percentage contributions to aid in diagnostics. Wheel diameters to 44", rim diameters to 30", and 154 lbs wheels can be accommodated on this unit.
