You go from being a “doer” to being a “manager” of the process. Your job is to start the process, monitor it and carry out the final quality control. You only intervene in exceptions and can concentrate on the more complex aspects such as interpreting the diagnostic data instead of doing heavy physical work.

Who is a fully-automatic workplace ideal for?
The solution is as advanced as your requirements. Our range of fully automatic systems includes much more than just a simple assembly machine. It ranges from leverless and WDK-certified tire changers, which do not require a tire changer, to diagnostic-capable balancing machines with laser and sonar data acquisition, to fully integrated wheel lift systems that make the entire process ergonomic and energy-saving. Your order volume and your vehicle mix determine which combination suits you best. We offer a wide selection of leading manufacturers such as Corghi, ATH-Heinl and other premium brands that stand for groundbreaking technology, absolute process reliability and long-lasting performance.
A fully automatic tire changer:
The heart is the fully automatic, contactless (leverless) tire changer, which, in contrast to semi-automatic devices, works largely autonomously. Instead of a classic tire lever, automated, plastic-protected tools such as fingers or rollers lift the tire bead over the rim flange fully automatically and with little effort. This "leverless" technology virtually completely eliminates the risk of damage to expensive rims or TPMS sensors. The necessary process reliability for demanding UHP and run-flat tires is confirmed by the WDK certification. The autonomous process is rounded off by synchronously working, self-centering pushers for gentle release of the tire as well as an often integrated wheel lift that automatically picks up the wheel and centers it on the clamping device.
The diagnostic-capable high-end tire balancing machine
Modern balancing machines offer much more than just balancing; they carry out a complete wheel diagnosis. Manual measuring arms are obsolete because the machine records all relevant wheel data such as width, diameter and distance in seconds and without contact using laser or sonar. The advanced diagnostic functions scan the entire wheel for vertical and lateral runout to detect out-of-roundness that can cause vibrations even when perfectly balanced. Based on these values, the machine makes a “matching” recommendation in order to mutually optimize the respective errors by specifically rotating the tire on the rim. A laser placement display for the exact positioning of the weights, an often integrated profile depth measurement and an electromechanical clamping device that powerfully and perfectly centers the wheel at the push of a button round off the fully automatic process.
The mobile wheel lift: ergonomics and safety directly on the vehicle
As a crucial link between the vehicle and the automated service line, the mobile wheel lift ensures an ergonomic and safe overall process. Its main task is the energy-saving dismantling of the wheel directly on the vehicle and the subsequent, precise reassembly. It eliminates heavy lifting, which protects the employee's back and prevents fatigue, especially with the increasingly larger and heavier wheels of SUVs, vans and electric vehicles. In addition, the lift enables the wheel to be positioned precisely on the hub, which prevents damage to the rim, wheel bolts or the brake system. It is therefore the indispensable component that begins and ends the fully automatic process on the vehicle and makes the workflow completely professional and safe.
What should I pay attention to when selecting machines?
To find the perfect system for your needs, you should clarify these key questions:
With the fully automatic tire changer:
Is a non-contact (leverless) working method and WDK certification a basic requirement for the absolutely safe processing of expensive UHP and run-flat tires?
What range of wheel sizes (inches) and widths must be covered, from standard cars to large SUV or van wheels?
How high does the level of automation have to be? Should the entire process from pressing to dismantling run without manual intervention by the operator?
For the high-end balancing machine:
Do you need a pure balancing machine or a complete wheel diagnostic station?
Should features such as the automatic measurement of vertical and lateral runout via laser, an optimization recommendation (matching) and profile depth measurement be integrated for a perfect service?
How important is maximum comfort to you through an electromechanical tensioning device and a laser display for precise weight positioning?
For the complete workflow:
What should the workflow look like? Do you need an integrated wheel lift on the machines and a flexible, mobile lift that accompanies the entire process from the vehicle to the service line?
What load capacity is required for your vehicle mix (including heavy electric vehicles and vans)?
Should a wheel washing machine be integrated into the process to guarantee maximum balancing accuracy and a clean customer experience?
Frequently asked questions
What is the main difference between "semi-" and "fully automatic"?
Fully automated systems drastically minimize the operator's manual intervention. The tire changer often works without contact (leverless), the wheel data for balancing is automatically recorded via laser/sonar and the wheel lift is often integrated into the process. The result is a faster, more repeatable and operator-independent process for the highest throughput.
What does "WDK certified" and "Leverless" mean?
"Leverless" (or "without mounting iron") means that the machine puts the tire on and off without the use of a classic tire lever. This minimizes the risk of damage to the rim and tire bead. A WDK certification confirms that the machine has been tested according to the strict specifications of the German rubber industry for the professional installation of UHP and run-flat tires.
How much time do I really save with a fully automatic system?
The time savings are significant and are often 30-40% per wheel compared to a semi-automatic process. What is more important, however, is the reduction in physical exertion and the constant high speed throughout the entire working day, as operator fatigue hardly plays a role anymore.
Are these machines safe for extremely expensive or sensitive rims?
Yes, absolutely. That's exactly what they were designed for. Non-contact technologies, plastic-guided tools and precise clamping systems ensure that the rim has no contact with metal during the entire assembly and balancing process. The risk of scratches or damage is virtually eliminated.
What more can a "diagnostic" balancing machine do?
In addition to classic balancing, these high-end machines analyze the entire wheel. They use a laser to measure the lateral and vertical runout of the rim and tire, detect out-of-roundness, measure the tread depth and give the operator recommendations for optimization (matching) in order to minimize vibrations that could not be eliminated by pure unbalance.
What requirements do the machines place in terms of power and space?
Fully automatic systems are high-performance machines. You usually need a 400V power connection and a powerful compressed air connection (often >10 bar). Due to the integrated lifts and the range of motion of the automatic arms, the space required is larger than with semi-automatic solutions. We will advise you in detail on this.
At what order volume is the investment worth it?
A fully automatic line is particularly worthwhile for companies with a high tire throughput (typically from 25-30 wheel sets per day in the season) or for workshops that focus on a premium segment with expensive wheel sets and for whom process safety and damage prevention have top priority.
How does the system handle tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS)?
Professional tire changers detect the position of the TPMS sensor (often through an initial scan) and automatically position the wheel so that the assembly tools never touch or endanger the sensor throughout the entire process. This ensures maximum safety and avoids expensive damage to the sensor.
Dirt and mud on the wheel distort the balancing result and can affect the precise laser sensors of the diagnostic machine. A wheel wash beforehand guarantees maximum measurement accuracy and also ensures a clean workplace and a high-quality result for the customer, who receives a perfectly clean wheel.
Yes, that is a big advantage of the diagnostic systems. The measured values such as tread depth in several places, elevation and lateral runout can often be printed out or exported digitally. This creates transparency for the customer and serves as professional evidence of the condition of their wheels.
Despite the high complexity of the technology, modern systems are designed for intuitive operation. The operator is guided through the process via touchscreen interfaces with clear graphics. After initial professional instruction, an experienced technician can usually operate the systems safely very quickly.
In addition to the higher throughput, there are three main points: 1. Drastically reduced damage to expensive rims and TPMS sensors. 2. The ability to offer a premium diagnostic service and price it higher. 3. Higher employee satisfaction and less downtime due to the enormous physical relief.
The systems have extremely powerful and intelligent pressure systems that can increase the pressure in a controlled manner and at several points at the same time. In the rare cases in which the automatic system reaches its limits, the operator can switch to manual mode at any time and intervene in a targeted manner./p>
The systems are designed for an enormous range, from small car wheels to large SUV and light truck wheels. The changeover between sizes is usually fully automatic. Optional adapter kits are often available for special requirements such as motorcycle wheels.
Yes, leading manufacturers regularly offer software updates. These can take into account new tire types coming onto the market, further optimize the assembly process or add new diagnostic functions. This ensures the future viability of the investment.
An optimal workflow is often designed as a “U-shape” or “L-shape”. The wheel is placed in the line at one point (e.g. from the mobile lift), goes through wheel washing, assembly and balancing and is removed again at the end. This minimizes the walking distance for the operator and prevents dirty and clean wheels from crossing each other.
