Description
Overview
The Tuxedo WB-953-B is a wheel balancer in a no-hood configuration, built for general service and tire shops balancing car and motorcycle wheels in a compact footprint.
An LED touch-panel keypad with icon prompts guides the operator through every function, and the machine self-calibrates and self-diagnoses for repeatable accuracy. Manual distance and diameter entry supports static, dynamic, and three ALU modes, and multi-user operation lets two technicians work with separate settings. Without the hood, it tucks into tighter bays while keeping the same balancing capability. Browse more auto service equipment or the full Tuxedo Auto Equipment line.
