megaspin FT Lite

Versatile Wheel Balancer for Balancing Wherever You Need It

Hofmann megaspin FT Lite is the automatic balancing machine ideal for mobile service, but particularly suitable for workshops with space constraints, due to its extremely small size. The Megaspin Fast Touch transforms the wheel balancing process by integrating a laser pointer and line laser. These lasers, combined with the movement of the wheel, measure the distance and diameter of the rim, while virtual sonar technology determines its width. This allows for quick and accurate detection of all the parameters necessary to identify wheel imbalance. Fast Touch technology eliminates the need for traditional gauges, improving comfort and efficiency while reducing wear and maintenance.

Megaspin FT Lite is light, compact and flexible to balance wherever you need.

Fast Touch technology revolutionizes the wheel balancing experience through the innovative combination of a laser point and a line laser. With the simple movement of the wheel, the lasers calculate distance and diameter of the rim. Once the dimensions of the wheel are detected, a simple press of a button speeds up the transmission of data to the software, which stores them before initiating the imbalance measurement. At the same time, the Virtual Sonar measures the wheel width, enabling the rapid and precise detection of all parameters necessary to accurately identify wheel unbalance.

Virtual Sonar is a software able, in the absence of an actual sonar device, to automatically measure the width of steel rims and, therefore, to calculate the position of the second correction plane. Virtual Sonar reduces balancing time by avoiding operator errors caused by manual data entries and guarantees, at the same time, a balancing efficiency.

During the correction phase, the laser pointer indicates the exact position for the application of adhesive counterweights inside the rim. Any possible error during the weight positioning is avoided thanks, also, to the electric brake, which locks the wheel into the exact correction position. A led light illuminates the working space inside the rim.

One Weight Balancing function is automatically activated, at the end of the spin, and suggests a single ideal correction plane instead of two. The laser pointer indicates the exact point where it is possible to balance the wheel minimizing both static and dynamic imbalance, using only one counterweight. OWB offers 30% time savings for 70% of wheels.

With the automatic approach system and the electric brake, once the measuring spin is completed, the wheel automatically stops near the exact point of application of the counterweight. The operator can position the wheel correctly with just a little movement. After the first plane is corrected, pressing start the wheel position itself around the second correction point.

Easy manual locking system with quick locknut.
