all right jim hudson here from sema 21
let's show you how the tcx 635 is the
fastest way to change over the road
truck
[Music]
tires just basically pushed my beads off
here even on this super single uh it
works the same even on uh on 22 fives 24
fives like i said even these these super
single tires like this uh just pushes
those beads right off
sometimes i need to make a little
traction point here which i can do
let's continue to roll it on off
we got a drop roller down here so i
don't have to reach down here and get
that roller out of the way
i'll just
press that pedal and get that roller out
of the way
[Music]
i can run my tire in
and on these wide tires and even on
standard wood tires i can push on that
that back bead
my outside bead
i'll bring my roller into position here
i have a quick mount bar here that i'm
going to use to establish my traction
here with that top bead or that outside
bead
just like that i've just basically
pushed this big heavy super single tire
on and off without breaking a sweat
uh and if i wanted to
greg's going to talk about in a moment
here with force matching i can use this
machine to force match by bringing my
tire down
pressing into the cradle here
and then spinning i can spin that tire
or spin that wheel either inside the
tire to uh to force match here but i'll
hand it over to greg here to talk about
that and talk about the hd elite
balancer
thanks jim hi everybody i'm greg meyer
i'm the product manager for wheel
balancers at hunter engineering and this
is the heavy duty elite balancer so
after you finish putting a tire on
obviously we're gonna need to balance it
okay so i'll go ahead and pull the hood
down and let's see how this works
so this machine is a balancer but it's
also going to measure run out as well so
when it comes to heavy duty balancers or
heavy duty assemblies excuse me
balancing is important but even more
important is making sure run out is
proper making sure that the wheel is
round and then it's of the right
diameter so right now the machine has
told me how much weight it needs while i
get my weights ready it's measuring the
run out of the assembly
when it's finished
it pulls the load roller away
servos the weights into position shows
me exactly where to place them with the
laser
[Music]
i put the weights on
and i pull the hood down now if i've
done everything correctly i'm going to
get okay okay and i'll be finished
but that's not the whole story
now that i've measured run out and
balances assembly
i can take a look at matching duals when
you're talking about over the road
trucks that use 22 fives like this it's
important that when you have a pair of
wheels as assemblies together that they
have the same diameter and that the high
spots are opposing so we can do that
with this machine you'll see right here
on the screen it's telling me that this
is 39.2 inches in diameter
but now let's say we had an issue in
this case everything's okay we have 33
000 to run out that's pretty good for an
assembly like this but if there was a
problem i can go into the force matching
screen
and it's going to show me exactly how to
improve this assembly it shows me it's
telling me to make a mark on the tire
right here
and then i can servo
the rim position in into position here
and it's telling me to make a mark on
the rim right here and what i can do is
take this assembly to jim's tire changer
turn it and we can get the run out down
from 33 thousands to 12 000. now in this
case we probably wouldn't do that but if
we were getting from 90 down to 70 or 50
000 something like that that would be a
worthwhile thing to do as i mentioned
before we could also take and mark this
high spot this green mark right here is
the high spot of the assembly i can
bring that to 12 o'clock mark that so
when i place it on the truck next to its
other dual assembly we can make sure
that those are opposite so we get the
best rolling assembly possible maximum
tire life as well
so thanks a lot for watching our video
and we'll see you soon
