1. 16-bit to
enable accurate readings in LSB (low speed balancing)
LSB = low speed balancing = speed of revolution is below 100 rpm
HSB = high speed balancing = speed of revolution is above 100 rpm
At 100 rpm, or below, energy transmitted to sensors from the unbalance
vibrations on
the wheel is 4 times smaller then the energy transmitted by the same
unbalance measured at 200 rpm, and 9 times smaller then unbalance measured
at 300 rpm (high-speed wheel
balancing = HSB).
Since the energy transmitted is much smaller, the measurement can be affected by electric noise.
To maintain a good accuracy in measurement, therefore it is very
difficult and several compromises might become necessary. With
the introduction of 16-bit technology, FASEP has obtained that LSB is
more accurate then previous HSB.
Infact, 16-bit electronics, compared to previous 10-bit technology, allows
an accuracy 64 times greater then before. This
means that, even if energy of unbalance is 4 times smaller, still 16-bit
low speed balancing is 16 times more accurate then high speed balancing at
10-bit.

2. LSB is a great advantage for safety and
durability
LSB is, per-se, safer, thanks to reduced speed of
revolving wheel.
Also, LSB dramatically
reduces all wears on electric power parts (relais, motor) and mechanical parts (motor
bearings, belt,
ball-bearings).
All of this prolongs life of wheel balancer, as well as its
accuracy over its life span. |

3. 16-bit : faster measurements
Being 16 times more accurate then HSB, 16-bit measurements allows to
reduce the number of spins necessary to measure unbalance on the wheel
accurately.
A special function is available on 16-bit wheel balancer to operate in
FAST MODE, reducing the number of spins by 50% and still maintaining a
very good accuracy (only a 5% reduction of accuracy has been measured).
The FAST-MODE is specially good for peak-periods with intense
work-schedule.

4. 16-bit: a number of new functions to make
wheel balancing easier and more accurate
The introduction of powerful 16-bit microprocessor comes along with
the possibility of introducing new functions and features that makes wheel
balancing easier and accurate as it has never be. AFC Automatic Flange Calibration: allows to use
even non-balanced flanges (dirty, worn, etc.)
MARS Automatic Minimization of
Residual Static Unbalance: allows automatically to reduce the
static unbalance when using weights multiple of 5 grams.
DUAL-OP Double
Operator (LEVEL 2): 2 users can share the unit at the same time
independently
STATS Statistics: shows the
total number of spins, the % of success, the % for each diameter.
FCC Fast Calibration Check: the
calibration of the unit can be proved easily in few seconds.
ALU-6h (LEVEL 3): Allows to place adhesive weights at 6 o'clock
APS Automatic
Positioning System (LEVEL 3): Allows
to rotate wheel automatically to inside/outside position for application
of the balancing weight.
FAST Fast
balancing mode (LEVEL 3): Allows to
measure wheel unbalance in half time (for when you have peak-hours
time/periods).
Other ALU Special Functions. Functions listed above might not be
available on all models or might be optional on some model or some
configurations.
