Automobile Wheel Balancer Locator — Infrared Assist Key benefits Speeds and simplifies counterweight placement: helps technicians attach wheel balancing weights quickly and accurately, reducing rework and downtime. Improves balancing accuracy: precise infrared positioning shows the exact point for counterweight application, minimizing trialanderror. Works reliably in low light: builtin auxiliary lighting keeps the work area visible so technicians can maintain quality in dim conditions. What it does Infrared positioning: when the infrared emitter is enabled, the device clearly indicates the correct counterweight location on the wheel. Timeofflight measurement: the locator determines the straightline distance from the infrared head to the indicated point by calculating the time between infrared emission and reception, enabling accurate placement. Auxiliary lighting: integrated lighting provides practical illumination to make the operator's work more professional and efficient. Compatibility and function Designed to assist automobile wheel balancers and tire balancer operations. Functions as an alignment/locator accessory to guide technicians when applying counterweights; intended for use with standard automotive wheel balancing procedures. Performance and usability Quick and easy to use: turns on the infrared positioning and auxiliary light to guide placement without complex setup. Improves workflow efficiency by reducing time spent locating balance points and rebalancing wheels. Accurate positioning supports consistent balancing results across routine service tasks. Typical use scenarios Tire shops and service bays: use the locator during routine wheel balancing to speed up counterweight attachment and improve accuracy. Afterhours or lowlight shifts: auxiliary lighting and clear infrared indication help technicians maintain quality when ambient lighting is poor. Mobile tire service: provides precise visual guidance onsite to reduce repeat trips for rebalancing. Practical notes Use as an aid to standard wheelbalancing equipment and procedures; follow your balancer's instructions and safety guidelines. The locator is intended to assist the operator with positioning and lighting — final verification and secure attachment of counterweights remain the operator's responsibility. This locator provides a practical, infraredguided solution to improve speed, accuracy, and visibility when attaching counterweights during automobile wheel balancing.
