Estimating the term…
A method and an apparatus for marking the amount and location of unbalance on a rotatable body, such as a vehicle wheel. The apparatus uses a conventional system for determining the amount and location of unbalance in the body. A marking device is actuated to mark one or both sides of the body with a mark or marks representative of the amount and location of determined unbalance. The beginning and ending points of the mark can be representative of the beginning and end points of the correction mass to be applied to the body. The marks also can be representative of the predetermined weights of correcting masses to be applied to the body. Application of marks representative of the amount and location of unbalance to the bodies provides a visual indicator that facilitates subsequent check of the correct application of unbalance correction masses to the body.
A method for marking unbalances on a rotatable body, with said body being provided with marks at angular locations depending on the amount and location of unbalance determined by unbalance measuring equipment, said method comprising:
An apparatus for marking a rotatable body at least one angular locations depending on the amount and location of determined unbalance of the body, said apparatus comprising:
