Corghi ARTIGLIO 50 Manual De Uso página 110

Wheel loading and unloading operations are simplified by an ergonomic wheel lift (op-
tional kit) which reduces the operator effort required.
The key feature of the ARTIGLIO 50/55 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 break-
ing 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 demounting
of the tyre without the use of the bead lifter lever*
* In a very few cases, a manual "help" accessory supplied as standard may be of use in
simplifying demounting where excessive lubricant has been applied and/or where tyres
are combined with unusual rims.
- A pedal-controlled pneumatically operated wheel lift (optional) which loads and unloads
the wheel to and from the working position
Thanks to this machine, the following goals are also achieved:
- Reduction of the physical effort on the part of the operator
- Protection of the rim and tyre
Each machine has a data plate Fig. 8, with information about the machine and some
technical data.
