The Atlas® Platinum PWB70 is a motorized, computer-controlled wheel balancer designed for tire shops that need fast cycle times and reliable accuracy during steady passenger and light-truck service. Built with Italian-engineered components, it delivers a 7-second balancing cycle with 1-gram accuracy and 1.4° weight-position resolution, giving technicians consistent results without repeated trial-and-error spins. The upgrades over earlier models are focused on day-to-day efficiency — improved visibility, faster positioning, and a smoother workflow.
The system uses an automatic 2D data-entry gauge to capture rim diameter and offset in a single step, eliminating manual input errors. Once the spin cycle is complete, a laser line indicates the exact 12 o’clock weight position, while an internal LED light improves visibility inside the wheel. Functions like OPTIMATCH help correct stubborn imbalance conditions, while ALU and ALU-S programs support alloy wheel applications. FES (Fast & Easy Split) allows adhesive weights to be hidden cleanly behind spokes, and OWF (Opposite Weight Function) shifts placement from 12 to 6 o’clock when rear access is more practical.
An electric brake with smart-approach control positions the wheel precisely at the correction point, reducing handling time between cycles. The hood-triggered auto start/stop system simplifies operation, and the unit is self-diagnosing and self-calibrating to maintain consistency over time. A built-in USB port allows firmware updates via PC, and no anchor-down installation is required, making setup straightforward in most service bays.
The PWB70 ships with a quick-release nut, four centering cones, wheel-weight pliers, and measuring calipers. It runs on 110V single-phase power and is backed by a 2-year parts-only warranty.
