New HammerHead System Speeds Balancing Service by Eliminating Weight Placement Error


 

Exact weight placement is a critical step in a quality wheel balance. Even a slight misjudgment when attaching a weight can lead to excessive check-spins, lost time and wasted effort. Hunter’s newly announced HammerHeadTM TDC Clip-Weight Placement Laser System virtually eliminates weight placement errors. The HammerHead laser system employs Hunter’s patented ServoDriveTM system to automatically position the wheel weight location at top-dead-center and then projects a precision laser line to mark the exact weight placement position. The HammerHead system also provides overhead fluorescent illumination for the operator’s work area.
