John Bean's B400L wheel balancer features short balancing cycles, fast data entry and innovative functions such as easyWEIGHT and SMART SONAR, according to the company.

Other innovative features of the B400L include the patented Virtual Plane Imaging (VPI) technique that ensures the most accurate balancing results, while being insensitive to ambient conditions. In addition, the QuickBAL feature makes sure that only the number of revolutions actually required to get an accurate imbalance measurement is performed. This reduces measurement time by 30 percent and maintains accuracy.

The B400L has a user-friendly interface where all functions are clearly marked with picture icons and large digits for the amount of the balance weight and bright indicators for weight position. The 4.5-second balancing cycle of the B400L high performance wheel balancer is coupled with the easy data entry via the automatic rim width acquisition from SMART SONAR and the rim diameter and offset measurements from 2D-SAPE, according to the company.

The easyALU function reduces the set-up time of the wheel set. With the Split Weight mode, shops can offer an additional service to customers by hiding adhesive weights behind two spokes so they cannot be seen from the outside.
