The Atlas® Platinum PWB50 is a professional-grade electronic wheel balancer engineered to deliver exceptional speed, accuracy, and durability for high-volume passenger vehicle tire service. Combining advanced Automatic 2D Data Entry with an intuitive single-gauge measurement system, the PWB50 streamlines the balancing process while maintaining 1-gram accuracy and a lightning-fast 7-second cycle time. This wheel balancer represents Italian precision engineering paired with the factory-direct value that has made Atlas Platinum a trusted name in automotive service equipment worldwide.
Designed for the professional technician, the PWB50 features an easy-to-read LED display with both standard and metric units, ensuring clarity in any shop environment. The machine's 40mm shaft and robust construction accommodate wheels up to 43 inches in diameter and 165 pounds, handling everything from compact car wheels to larger passenger vehicle assemblies with ease. The included wheel guard, pedal brake, and automatic start/stop functions provide both safety and operational efficiency, while the 130 RPM balancing speed ensures rapid throughput without sacrificing precision.
Intelligent Weight Placement and ALU Programs
The PWB50 stands out with its comprehensive suite of ALU weight placement programs, offering a huge combination of alloy wheel balancing modes. The innovative weight placement arm allows operators to select the most convenient position for weight application, and the machine intelligently guides you back to that exact position after the spin cycle. This ensures accurate dynamic adhesive weight application every time, reducing guesswork and increasing first-time success rates.
The Fast & Easy Split function (FES) makes hiding adhesive weights behind wheel spokes simple and intuitive, delivering a clean, professional appearance that customers appreciate. For added convenience, the Opposite Weight Function (OWF) enables operators to change weight application position from 12 o'clock to 6 o'clock, providing convenient access when applying adhesive weights without awkward reaches or repositioning.
OPTIMATCH Technology for Difficult Assemblies
Match-mounting has never been easier. The PWB50 includes OPTIMATCH software, which optimizes tire and wheel unbalance to achieve superior results even with challenging assemblies. This advanced match-mounting capability minimizes vibration by aligning the high point of the tire with the low point of the wheel, making even the most difficult wheel and tire combinations easy and efficient to balance. The result is smoother rides, reduced comebacks, and higher customer satisfaction.
Additionally, the Special ALU-S program and NWN system (No Wheel Need System) offer enhanced versatility for specialty applications, while the OPF function (Opposite Position) provides yet another dimension of flexibility for professional balancing operations.
Advanced Diagnostics and Easy Maintenance
The PWB50 features built-in self-diagnosis and self-calibration systems that ensure consistent performance and minimize downtime. These intelligent functions monitor machine health and automatically calibrate for peak accuracy, reducing the need for service calls and keeping your shop productive. The integrated USB hub allows for easy firmware updates through PC or notebook, ensuring your balancer stays current with the latest software enhancements and features.
The machine's automatic measurement of wheel diameter and distance via the 2D Data Entry system eliminates manual input errors and speeds up the setup process. Simply position the measurement arm, and the PWB50 captures the dimensions automatically, allowing you to focus on the work rather than data entry.
