Under the commission of the Nexion Group, MM Design has developed an innovative wheel balancer for heavy vehicles for the Corghi brand. Key features of this balancer include ergonomics, safety, ease of use, intuitiveness, and, not least, aesthetics.
This is complemented by extensive research to select the most suitable materials and technologies, considering the production volume.
In the system’s architecture, special attention has been given to the 22” touchscreen monitor, designed to simplify and make the graphical interface for balancing operations more intuitive. The monitor is mounted on an anti-vibration bracket, ensuring stability and precision during use.
Another significant design feature is the large weight tray, created to assist the operator in selecting the correct weight to apply to the rim for optimal balancing. The tray includes a side pocket, ideal for storing tools and cleaning materials, and offers an organised layout for weights of various sizes, enabling quick and efficient access. The floor support and arms, which allow the tyre to be lifted and mounted on the balancer, are made of metalwork, ensuring robustness and durability. A top cover protects the operator from moving parts during the balancing cycle, which operates at low speed, enhancing user safety and contributing to significant energy savings.
The ET1680 is the result of a collaborative effort between the MM Design team and the Nexion-Corghi team.
