Description
Overview
The Tuxedo WB-953 is a wheel balancer with a full hood, built for general service and tire shops balancing car and motorcycle wheels.
An LED touch-panel keypad with icon prompts walks the operator through every balancing function, and the machine self-calibrates and self-diagnoses for repeatable accuracy. Manual distance and diameter entry supports static, dynamic, and three ALU modes, while the large 38 inch hood keeps wheel debris contained during the spin.
