Assembly Machines for Vehicle Wheels
130 RBER | 130 SBER

Range of application
Automatic mounting of tubeless passenger-vehicle tires in normal, low-profile or super low-profile form onto steel, or aluminum rims of various dimensions.

Application of the machines in mid-volume production. Linking of the machine with suitably arranged lubrication and lay-on station (130 SBER), as well as succeeding tire inflation and wheel balancing machine is possible.

Loading and unloading either manually or by an optional transfer system.

Design
Single-station machine with fully automatic cycle, loading and unloading either manually or by transfer equipment.

The welded machine housing contains the rim centering and clamping device, single-arm draw-down head with bead folder and hold-down roller, drive combination for rotation and lifting, tire-pusher and pressure pad.

Automatic adjustment of the mounting head to suit the various tire widths and manual change over of the rim diameter. Fully automatic change over is optional.

This assembly head provides diameter adjustment in steps. The change over to another rim diameter can be done manually by push-button or fully automatically by a type identification system

The tire mounting procedure takes only a few seconds. The heart of the system is the non-contacting draw-down head that prevents damage to the rim and especially the edge. Mounting of the two tire beads is selectively done either both at the same time, or one bead at a time in two revolutions. The machine can be changed over easily and in a short time and therefore a large tire-diameter range of steel and alloy rims can be handled. In the basic version the machine is installed between two feed conveyors and manually loaded. The rims and tires are manually supplied in sets according to the manufacturing orders. If a new type of tire is to be processed, only the draw-down head has to be adapted to the new rim diameter.

Automatic transport of the tire within the system through a turn-and-lift conveyor. The complete cycle then runs automatically. All the operator has to do is load lubricated tires and rims.
