GEODYNA® RANGE W H E E L B A L A N C E R S HOFMANN have been at the forefront of wheel balancer development over the last 80 years with a string of industry firsts plus an unrivalled list of patent approvals. Our product line today is no exception and boasts a number of unique features that ensure ease of operation, faster balancer times and higher accuracy. Just consider some of HOFMANN’s most famous features: Power Clamping Power clamping is available as an option on all mid to highend HOFMANN wheel balancers. Our patented power clamping is the only electro-mechanical system on the market which means that air supply and ingress are not a problem. The great advantage of power clamping is that the wheel is clamped quicker and more accurately, saving you time and the hassle of re-balancing the wheel. Virtual Plane Measurement All HOFMANN balancers use the patented Virtual Plane Measurement (VPM). It ensures highly accurate balance results that are insensitive to ambient conditions such as temperature, humidity, fatigue and overload. In audited tests against leading competitive products the accuracy of HOFMANN balancers exceed all competitive models tested. Geodata Weight Placement Arm Standard on the geodyna 6300 and upwards the geodata gauge arm extends to the correct lateral position to ensure that the balance weight is placed correctly. This ensures a quick and accurate weight placement. Weight Optimisation Using this programme it is possible to match the high runout position of the rim with the low run-out of the tyre to achieve a smoother ride. Optimisation
