Without lube, there can be no clean measuring process
The lube station has two basic functions that are crucial for the subsequent measurement of the tire. First, the tire bead is evenly moistened with a special lube solution. This ensures that the tire fits perfectly on the measuring rims. Second, the tire is precisely centered to ensure precise positioning in the measuring station.
Two different conveying concepts available. Customers do have the choice between classical rollers and a belt conveyor with Omni-rollers.
