The Atlas WB 49 computer wheel balancer incorporates all the great features (AND MORE) of the Atlas WB41 computer wheel balancer. All truck and car computer wheel balancers require the input of three different measurements; rim width, rim diameter, and distance of mounted wheel assembly from the computer wheel balancer. The Atlas WB41 requires the operator to manually enter these three parameters. The Atlas WB49 requires the operator to enter ONLY the wheel width data. The other two parameters are entered automatically when the distance gauge (located near the balancer's mounting shaft) is extended to contact the inside of the mounted wheel assembly. The Atlas WB 49 is designed for those shops balancing 10-50 sets of passenger tires per day.

"Split-Weight" Feature:
The WB-49 has the automatic data entry feature not found on the
Atlas WB-41 . The measuring guide rod for the automatic data entry is also used to determine the placement of wheel weights when used with the " split-weight " feature of the WB-49. The WB-41 does not have the split weight feature programmed into its software.

Many custom rims have decorative spokes and certain customers do not want any wheel weights to be " seen " on these fancy wheels. The only place to " hide " the stick-on weights is behind the spokes of the wheel.

The " split-weight " feature allows the operator to " split " the correct amount of weight and " hide " these weights behind the spokes. The measuring guide rod is used to pinpoint the placement of the weights and the WB-49's software determines the amount of weight that needs to be applied.

Self Calibrating:
The Atlas WB-49 is a self-calibrating computer wheel balancer. There is no need to calibrate the balancer each morning when you turn it on.

Wheel Weight Positioning Modes:
The Atlas WB-49 has several different wheel weight positioning modes that allow the operator to the spin the wheel assembly one time and identify several different weight positions with just a touch of the button. The Atlas WB-49 uses the most up to date (Atlas exclusive) software to ensure accurate out of balance measurements.

Many custom wheel owners want their stick on wheel weights to be applied only to the inside of the rim, and the Atlas WB-49 shows the operator exactly how much weight is required and where to apply the weight on the inside of the rim with just one spin. Conventional steel wheels require a clip on weight to be attached to the outside and the inside of the rim. The Atlas WB-49 can automatically calculate where the weights need to be placed with just the touch of a button.

130 LB. Wheel Assembly Capacity:
The Atlas WB 49 wheel balancer balances wheels that weigh up to 130 LB. Many balancers claim that they have 150 lb wheel capacity. There is a BIG difference between the shaft being able to support a 150 lb wheel assembly and the balancer being able to accurately balance the 150 lb. wheel assembly.

Extra Large, Raised Display:
The extra large raised LED display panel and increased wheel weight tray capacity make the Atlas WB-49 computer wheel balancer the perfect choice for the professional tire dealer.

Auxiliary Brake:
The Atlas WB-49 has a foot pedal auxiliary brake that allows the operator to hold the wheel assembly in the correct position when attaching the wheel weight to the rim.

Newly Designed Computer Board:
Finally, the Atlas WB 49 uses a newly designed computer board system that makes replacement of the computer board as easy as plug and play. Many of the Asian manufacturers are using computer technology that is over ten years old. All of the Atlas balancers are implementing the newest and most reliable computer technology available. This improved technology is one of the many reasons that Atlas balancers will provide years of reliable service.

Ease Of Use And Repair:
The Atlas WB-49 is very a simple, yet sophisticated wheel balancer. Each electrical component part is virtually " plug and play " so repair is easy when it is time to replace parts. The Atlas WB-49 is capable of self-diagnosing problems and displays error codes so the operator can make the necessary adjustments or repairs in his own shop. There is no need to wait for the high priced service technician to visit your store. The simplicity of the Atlas WB-49, both in ease of use and ease of repair, make this balancer the perfect choice for your professional tire shop.

Quality:
Most computer wheel balancers are not made in the USA. Most Big Name wheel balancer companies have one or several models of their computer wheel balancers line made in China. Famous brand names such as Hunter ® wheel balancers, Corghi ® wheel balancers, Accu-Turn ® wheel balancers, Snap-On ® wheel balancers, Hofmann Wheel balancers ®, Ranger ® wheel balancers, and many other computer balancers manufacturers do business either directly or indirectly with Chinese manufacturers.

Many people believe that only the top quality computer wheel balancers and tire changers are manufactured in Italy. Many so-called Italian tire changers and Italian computer wheel balancers are SHIPPED to the USA from Italy...but are actually made in China. We do business directly with many of the same Chinese factories that private label for the Italian " manufacturers " . Greg Smith Equipment sells the same quality equipment, but at a huge price difference.

Greg Smith Equipment is proud to provide similar equipment as some of the Big Name Brands but without the Big Name Price. We know where our equipment is made and have visited the factories and suppliers in China. Most sales people of the Big Name Brand distributors have no idea where there equipment is made. These sales people have never been to any factory that makes computer wheel balancers or tire changers. They only know to tell the potential customer to not buy any tire changer or wheel balancer that comes from China. Little do they know!

What makes the Atlas computer spin wheel balancer so superior to the other off the car computer spin balancers made in China?

How a Wheel Balancer Works:
The computer within the balancer receives the premeasured values of wheel dimensions and responds to the output of a rotational speed sensor that monitors the rotational speed of the shaft. When the required speed is reached, the mechanical system automatically decouples the powered cranking shaft from the wheel shaft so that there can be no externally applied disturbances for the subsequent measurements of imbalance. Multiple spaced transducers along the shaft determine the wheel run-out attributable to imbalances in both the inner and outer wheel rim planes and the computer provides output signals indicative of the correct balance weight and the mounting positions of the weights on the wheel rim.
