GSP9200 LCD Wheel Balancer Cuts Wheel Weight and Labor Costs, Increases Profitability

Hunter’s new GSP9200 LCD Wheel Balancer offers a new combination of mid-range and premium balancer features that provide an optimal balance, speed service time and reduce wheel weight costs 30 to 40%.

Using Hunter’s highly successful SmartWeight™ balancing feature, the GSP9200 allows for a single weight placement or no weight on more than 30% of wheels balanced – without sacrificing balance or ride quality. Shops save on labor as well by reducing floor-to-floor cycle time, eliminating weights and weight chasing and short cuts that affect balance quality.

Additional savings are achievable through the use of time- and labor-saving features such as the CenteringCheck® feature, BDC Adhesive Weight Placement Laser, ServoDriveTM system, Automatic Weight Mode Detection and the optional AutoClamp feature.

The GSP9200 software records data on each balance making it easy to track weight savings over time. This actual customer example shows that SmartWeight technology saved a total of 1,935.50 oz. (31.7%) of weight. Labor time was also reduced because 53% of the wheels were dynamically balanced using only one weight.

 

BDC Adhesive Weight Placement Laser
This servo-activated laser line marks the “bottom-dead-center” weight placement position automatically.

 

AutoClamp Feature
This optional feature positions the wheel on the spindle and tightens it into position automatically.

   

 

DSP9200 Digital Signal Processor Wheel Balancer Makes Expert Service Faster and Easier

The Hunter DSP9200 is an economical, yet fully capable wheel balancer that combines conventional balancing methods with a range of exclusive features that make wheel service faster and easier.

• ServoDriveTM programmable DC drive system offers the fastest possible balance service and automatically positions the wheel for weight placement.

• Automatic Double Dataset® Arms speed data entry and ensure the accurate placement of weights.

• The Spindle-Lok® brake feature employs a foot pedal control to lock the spindle and hold the wheel in position when working.

• Split Spoke® and Split Weight® modes provide optimal split weight placement that limits the use of large weights and allows out-of-sight weight positioning.
