AFC function
Automatic Flange Calibration
For a quality wheel balancing, good software can help a
lot.
FASEP wheel balancers are equipped (optionally on some models) with AFC
function, a FASEP exclusive design, for maximum accuracy of balancing also when
using adapters.
As everybody in the business knows, Self Calibration
function is needed to compensate the unbalance of the wheel balancer's shaft,
so that it does not affect the measurement of the unbalance of the wheel.
However Self Calibration, of course, does not take into
account the possibility of unbalance of the various adapters that can be used on
a wheel balancer.
Of course, adapters are balanced when they are new. But it is pretty common that
after years of use, because of dirt and wear, the adapters become
unbalanced, thus affecting the reading of the wheel balancer.
With AFC function, the user
can easily measures and compensate the adapter unbalance in just one spin.
When AFC
is used, any unbalance of the adapter will not affect the reading of the unbalance of the wheel, thus allowing a perfect wheel balancing.
Just another smart solution from FASEP!
