ET88
The ET88 is Corghi’s top-of-the-range balancing machine for truck wheels.
Low balancing speed, optimisation of average balancing speed, 7 ALU truck and car programs, automatic acquisition of wheel/machine distance, adhesive weight application device, stunning user-friendly graphic interface, automatic weight application position search, visual wheel wobble inspection, automatic identification of fitted wheel (truck/car), OPT FLASH and 200kg lift with safety handle: these characteristics, together with its original design, place the ET88 at the top-of-the-range.
Principal characteristics
- Electronic balancing machine with microprocessor for off-vehicle wheels of trucks, buses and vans.
- Low balancing speed (80 rpm for truck wheels and 120 rpm for car wheels) reduces wheel spin times, reduces the risks due to rotating parts and saves energy.
- Automatic detection of the type of wheel fitted (car or truck).
- Automatic sensor for measuring the distance and for the application of adhesive weights in Alu P programs.
- Automatic position search (RPA): on completion of the wheel spin, the machine automatically positions the wheel in the weight application point.
- Automatic wheel clamping at the end of the spin.
- Wheel-holder shaft clamping brake.
- STOP button for immediate machine shutdown.
- Lift equipped with safety handle to prevent wheel roll-over and to facilitate handling procedures. The safety handle is also a handy flanges and accessories holder.
- Cover with trays to take weights of all kinds and the most commonly used accessories.
- Automatic start by lowering the wheel guard.
- 15" high resolution monitor, ideal for running programs in the new 3D graphic format.
- Simple, user-friendly keyboard for data input and program selection.
- Interactive Help for suggestions regarding the recalled program.
- 16 language select option.
- Processing unit with microprocessor (16 bit).
- 1g (1/10oz) resolution in car function and 10g (0,5oz) in truck function.
- Unbalance values displayed in grams or ounces.
- Option of displaying unbalances rounded up/down.
- Balancing modes available:
-
Standard dynamic on both sides of the rim
-
Alu / Alu P seven different options for alloy wheels (with profile measurement)
-
Static on one plane only.
- "Shift Plane" program (in Alu P) for use of weights in multiples of five grams, with no need for partial cuts (Corghi Patent).
- "Hidden Weight" program (in Alu P) which subdivides the adhesive weight for the outside into two equivalent weights positioned behind the spokes of the rim.
- "OPT flash" program for the rapid optimising of wheel running noise levels. A single tyre shift on the rim and a balancing spin will cause the machine to display:
-
the real wheel unbalance (the OPT procedure is completed if this is within the acceptable range);
-
the minimum unbalance which is obtained by further rotating the tyre on the rim.
- Utility programs:
-
calibration;
-
personalisation;
-
counter for partial and total number or spins;
-
rapid recall of the 3 most used programs;
-
service;
-
diagnostics.
- Three separate work environments which allow three different operators to work at the same time without having to reset the data.
- VEI (Visual Eccentricity Inspection), to check for wheel and rim roundness defects.
