    摘要: A method for designing manufacturing systems with speed, flexibility, continuity includes identifying design issues with respect to at least one system concern (e.g., safety, reliability, quality, etc.) at the beginning of the design process. Proposed designs are evaluated according to simultaneous and sequential criteria both during a preliminary stage, before a supplier has been selected, and after a selected supplier offers a more detailed design for the manufacturing equipment. The activities and associated consequences associated with maintaining and operating the equipment being designed are identified and paired together into activity/consequence pairs. An optimized solution is determined for each individual activity/consequence pair and incorporated in the manufacturing equipment's design. After the manufacturing equipment is built, a validation process confirms that the process considerations and process solutions with respect to the particular system concern have been resolved in the final product. By considering process issues early in the design stage, the manufacturing equipment is less likely to require retrofitting in response to process issues discovered later after the manufacturing equipment has been built.

    摘要: A method for selecting a style of clip-on imbalance correction weight for application to a vehicle wheel rim edge during a vehicle wheel imbalance correction procedure. A wheel rim edge or lip is scanned to establish a representation of the wheel rim edge profile or lip configuration. The established representation of the wheel rim edge profile or lip configuration is compared with a plurality of clip-on imbalance correction weight profiles and clip shapes to identify at least the best-fit match between the wheel rim edge profile or lip configuration and a clip-on imbalance correction weight in the set of available weight profiles.

    摘要: A method of operation of a vehicle wheel balancer system for identifying an imbalance correction weight mode which an operator desires to utilize during an imbalance correction procedure without requiring the operator to manually input or select an imbalance correction weight mode prior to beginning the placement of the imbalance correction weights. The imbalance correction weight mode is determined from operator guided movements of one or more dataset arms which identify if an operator-selected imbalance correction weight placement plane is associated with a clip-on imbalance correction weight, an adhesive imbalance correction weight, or a patch-type imbalance correction weight.

    摘要: A wheel balancer includes a microprocessor configured to receive data associated with a vehicle wheel rim and tire assembly imbalance from at least one sensor, and to identify optimal correction weight plane locations, as well as to present the operator with the imbalance correction weight arrangement. The microprocessor is further configured to control a projection display system disposed to project a two-dimensional image onto a surface of the vehicle wheel rim and tire assembly, to facilitate completion of an wheel imbalance correction procedure.
