For the International Reifen 2016 fair in Essen, Germany, auto component major Bosch has presented new tyre -service devices and related test equipment. These include two wheel balancers with a feature allowing contact-free measurement of the tyre width. As the measurement results are displayed within seconds, the efforts for the tyre specialist are reduced significantly.
Bosch has also presented a Tyre lift relieving the load on the tyre specialists' back allowing them to work ergonomically even with tyre changers of the latest generation. In addition, the workshop expert Bosch also presents latest systems for vehicle diagnoses and headlight adjustment.
New wheel balancers
The Bosch WBE 4440 Sonar and WBE 4240 Sonar Digital tyre changers are equipped with a new feature allowing contact-free measurement of the tyre width. Within just six seconds, WBE 4440 automatically displays the measurement results on a 19-inch LCD screen; WBE 4240 provides the same information on a digital display.
A 360-degree light ring ensures enough light for attaching the balance weights. At the same time, it allows a clear view into the rim interior. Moreover, the new Bosch wheel balancers allow stopping the wheel at the optimum unbalance position. In case of WBE 4440, three different laser marks also help positioning the balance weights manually. This feature is optionally available for WBE 4240 as well.
New lift accessory for tyre changers
Bosch developed the new TSL 230 tyre lift particularly for tyre changers of the latest generation. It allows its operator to work ergonomically at all times. The lift is installed on the right side of the tyre changer, right next to the bead breaker. This position and the integrated roller bed accelerate and ease the bead-braking process thus increasing the workshop efficiency. The lift can, for instance, be installed onto the pneumatic TCE 4400 and TCE 4470 tyre changers equipped with a tiltable assembly column for car tire fitting. Both of these Bosch devices are particularly suitable for tire specialists dealing with high volumes.
Diagnosis, headlights, exhaust gases: Entry-level package for tyre specialists
By means of KTS 970, Bosch offers automotive workshops and tire specialists a great access to the business of professional vehicle diagnosis. The package consists of both a KTS 570 diagnostic tester and a DCU 220 tablet computer for mobile application at the workshop. This system allows performing complete ECU diagnoses. It is equipped with a dual-channel multimeter and a a dual-channel oscilloscope. The diagnostic tester and the tablet computer are connected via Bluetooth. The Esitronic workshop software guides the user through all test and diagnostic steps. The tablet computer can be controlled by its robust touch screen or via keyboard.
