    摘要: Tyre-removal apparatus comprising a base having a support for receiving and rotating the wheel. The tyre-removal apparatus further comprising a frame which is joined to the base and which has an upright with a longitudinal axis substantially parallel to an axis of rotation of the wheel. A support arm is associated with the upright and is movable in a direction substantially parallel to the axis of rotation of the wheel. A tool for operating on the wheel is mounted pivoting on the support arm. A sensor, associated with the tool, is able to detect at least one parameter representing contact between the tool and the wheel, said sensor being operationally connected to a control unit able to control an actuator, associated with the support arm, so as to pivot the tool between a first withdrawn position with respect to the axis of rotation of the wheel and a second advanced position with respect to the axis of rotation of the wheel, depending on the at least one parameter representing the contact between the tool and the wheel.

    摘要: A tyre changing apparatus (1) comprises: a frame (10); a supporting element (11) for supporting a wheel (2) rotatably about an axis of rotation (A); an arm (12) movably connected to the frame (10) to be moved by an actuator (5B, 5B′) along a direction of movement (B) parallel to the axis of rotation (A); a bead breaker tool (13) connected to the arm (12) to move between an activated position, where it is in contact with the tyre (3), and a deactivated position, where it is spaced from the tyre (3); a control unit (14). The bead breaker tool (13) includes a mounting element (13A) and a bead breaker disc (13B) which rotates freely relative to the mounting element (13A) and comprises a sensor (131), configured to generate a contact signal (132) representing a rotation of the bead breaker disc (138) relative to the mounting element (13A); the control unit (14) is connected to the sensor (131) to receive the contact signal (132).

    摘要: A machine (1) configured to remove and mount a tyre from and on a respective rim of a vehicle wheel (2), comprises: an operating arm (4) directed along a longitudinal orientation; a head (5) supported by the operating arm (4); a first tool and a second tool. The first tool is connected to the head (5) and projects in a first direction; the second tool is connected to the head (5) and, in a first operating configuration of the head (5), is disposed in a first position where it projects in a second direction, opposite to the first direction. The second tool is pivoted to the head (5) to rotate about an axis of tilt (406′) transverse to the longitudinal orientation (402) to move from the first position to a second position, corresponding to a second operating configuration of the head (5) and tilted upside down relative to the first position, to project in the first direction.
