HOFMANN | VAS 741 017 VOLKSWAGEN AG | WHEEL BALANCERS PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
A wheel balancer for tire centers, dealerships, and high-volume service centers. Featuring a touchscreen monitor, automatic contactless data entry, and the easyWEIGHT™ feature—a pinpoint laser pointer—it's a precise, fast, and easy solution for applying adhesive wheel weights.
HOFMANN | VAS 741 017 VOLKSWAGEN AG | WHEEL BALANCERS PRODUCT FEATURES
easyWEIGHT™: Laser pointer precisely indicates weight placement locations for fast and accurate balancing.
PLATINUM User Interface: High-speed touchscreen with large digits and colour-coded weight placement indicators for intuitive, ergonomic operation.
Intuitive Rim Scanner Display: Automatically measures rim diameter, distance, and spoke number/position, then selects the correct balancing program, weight type, and placement.
Split Weight Mode (Installing Weights Behind the Spokes): Allows weights to be positioned behind adjacent spokes to remain hidden from external view.
Long Main Shaft: 225 mm shaft supports interchangeable flanges and accessories, accommodating almost all wheel types.
Wheel Guard: Patented, ergonomic telescopic protective cover reduces the machine’s footprint while maintaining operator safety.
easyALU™: Measuring lever captures rim dimensions by touch and automatically selects the correct weight-setting mode.
Power Clamp™: Electromechanical clamp applies constant, gentle force to ensure accurate and repeatable load determination.
QuickBAL™: Reduces balancing cycle time by up to 30% (under 4.5 seconds) without compromising accuracy.
Smart Sonar™: Contactless rim width measurement improves accuracy and saves up to 30% time compared to manual input.
VPM Technology: Advanced measuring technology ensures high precision and repeatability.
