Page 24: Balance Screen Description
John Bean BFH 1000 Operators Manual 6.2 BALANCE SCREEN DESCRIPTION Refer to Figure 16a below for an example of a typical balance screen. The wheel displayed has been profiled as a rim which will accept a clip weight on the left side and a stick-on weight on the right side. -
Page 25: Wheel Mounting
An incorrect centering of the wheel will result in considerable imbalance. There are many types of wheels and John Bean supplies adaptors of high quality and durability for the large majority. However if you meet special wheels which may require a specific adaptor, call your authorized John Bean distributor. -
Page 26: Scan Mode Selection
6.3 SCAN MODE SELECTION The BFH 1000 can be operated in 2 automatic scan modes and one manual mode. Default factory setting is the OPTIMA mode. The BFH 1000 can easily be set to PROFILING mode if OPTIMA functionality is not required or wanted for every balance job. -
Page 27: Spinning The Wheel
6.4 SPINNING THE WHEEL NOTE: Before spinning the wheel, make sure proper eye protection is worn by all personnel in the vicinity of the balancer. A. Spin the wheel by lowering the wheel guard. If auto-spin is not activated press “Start” to begin balancer run. When the balancing cycle is complete the wheel will stop automatically and the imbalance values will appear on the screen. -

John Bean BFH 1000 Operators Manual 8.0 BFH 1000 Procedures BFH 1000 MODE is a feature which improves wheel running conditions through enhanced optimization capabilities while improving wheel balancer productiv- ity without the need to measure the radial force. In the BFH 1000 mode the following parameters are measured in one measuring run only: •... - Page 31 Calculations are made with all input data and stored for display when recalled. Figure 25 If BFH 1000 thresholds have been exceeded the BFH 1000 Diagnostics screen will indicate the assembly radial runout amount and make a recommendation of performing a full BFH 1000 compensation procedure.

Page 32: Bfh 1000 Geometric Matching
John Bean BFH 1000 Operators Manual 8.3 BFH 1000 Geometric Matching Select softkey “F5” to continue to the matching process if desired. See Figure 27. Rotate the assembly so the valve stem is located at top dead center. Press “F6”, to continue. See Figure 28. - Page 33 1000 screen would be displayed with additional sugges- tions. See Figure 33. Figure 33 If the assembly passed this time the BFH 1000 display would say “OK”. If a problem is detected, the information is displayed on the diagnostics screen. See Figure 34, the example indicated a high runout on the wheel, BFH 1000 procedures are not possible.

NOTE: This feature is not available as stan- dard with the BFH1000 wheel balancer but is to be purchased in addition. On the BFH 1000 wheel balancer the outer tire surface is scanned by the lasers and the result calculated into a pull index. After 4... - Page 36 Now the 2nd wheel can be clamped and the measuring run started. Depending on the measurements the BALANCING screen or the BFH 1000 ENTRY screen will come up. After the wheel has been matched and / or the im- balance has been corrected the wheel is...
- Page 37 The proposal for the position of the wheels on the car is given to reduce the pull as much as lowest run out possible. Should the operator want to posi- tion the wheels in a way that the lowest vibra- tion is achieved on the steering wheel he Figure 47 presses the F6 button.

Page 38: Optiline Customer Calibration
John Bean BFH 1000 Operators Manual 9.1 OptiLine Customer Calibration The T shaped calibration tool supplied with the OptiLine kit is required for checking and correcting any parallelism disparity between the rear scanner plane and the axis of the ma- chine wheel shaft to guarantee precision measurement of the tread conicity indices. - Page 39 Turn the front surface of the Tool towards the back of the balancer, angle the plate towards the scanner, approximately 5 degrees downward, then lock it in position using the pedal brake. Lower the wheel guard. Press F6 to start calibration (foot pedal can be released). The rear scanner will traverse to the right starting the calibration.
