DESCRIPTION OF ARTIGLIO 50
The ARTIGLIO 50 is a universal electro-pneumatic tyre changer for car, off-road vehicle
and van wheels.
It is designed to work effectively on:
- Conventional wheels;
- Reverse rim wheels or wheels without central well - (using optional kit);
- Runflat tyres with reinforced sidewall - runflat tyres with internal support*.
* WARNING: Special working procedures have been specifically studied for these wheels'
systems.
N.B. Clamping and/or demounting wheels in the vintage car category (cars out of production for more than
30 years) and some types of rally wheels and wheels of cars approved only for off-road use may be difficult and
occasionally even impossible.
The ARTIGLIO 50 allows extremely easy bead breaking, demounting and mounting of
any type of tyre in the aforesaid categories having rim diameter from 12" to 30 ".
In all stages, the ARTIGLIO 50 works with the wheel horizontal, clamped and perfectly
centred on the turntable.
Wheel loading and unloading operations are simplified by an ergonomic wheel lift
(optional kit) which reduces the operator effort required.
The key feature of the ARTIGLIO 50 is the elimination of the bead lifter lever.
Its absolutely innovative operating principle comprises:
- An effective system which clamps the wheel by means of its central well (an optional
clamping kit is available for closed centre rims). This clamping system, manual in the
basic version or pneumatic in the optional versions, allows the wheel to be centred
and clamped using a simple handle, supporting a cone. Moreover, since the wheel
rests on the contact zone only, breaking the bead on the underside with the wheel
in the horizontal working position becomes much easier.
- A pneumatic bead breaker unit comprising a single arm fitted with the tilting bead
breaker disc. This arm, with vertical travel, has two-way swing. The disc is placed
on the top edge of the rim by hand, and once it has been clamped in position the
180° swinging movement also allows perfect positioning on the bottom edge. Bead
breaking is assured and simplified by the manually operated controlled-penetration
disc movement.
- A mount/demount head installed on a mobile arm which swings out to the side. The
mount/demount head consists of one fixed supporting element used for mounting
and another, mobile element, hinged onto the fixed part, which allows optimal de-
mounting of the tyre without the use of the bead lifter lever*
