CEMB EZ15 Space-Saving 3D Data Entry Wheel Balancer with Touchscreen The EZ15 packs a full 3D measuring front end into a machine sized for a corner rather than a bay, and the feature that defines it is the interface: a 12″ video touch monitor instead of a keypad and a row of legends. That sounds cosmetic and is not. On a balancer, most of the operator errors that produce a comeback are input errors, and a screen that shows the wheel, the correction planes and the weight positions as pictures is a screen that is harder to get wrong at seven in the morning. The Screen Is the Feature A conventional balancer asks the operator to translate. The wheel in front of you becomes a set of numbers typed into a panel, and the correction the machine calculates comes back as another set of numbers that has to be translated into a physical position inside the rim. Every translation is a chance to enter a rim width off a caliper reading, or to apply a weight to the wrong plane on a wheel with an unusual profile. The 12″ touch monitor is a durable industrial screen, not a tablet bolted to a frame, and it removes most of that translation. Placement is guided on screen, ALU and hidden-spoke programs are selected as pictures rather than codes, and the machine walks the operator through where the weight belongs. In a shop where more than one person uses the balancer — and in most shops that is every shop — the interface is the difference between consistent output and output that depends on who is on shift. 3D Data Entry, and Why the Caliper Disappears The inner data entry arm is a 3D gauge. It takes distance and diameter directly off the rim, and Virtual Sonar then derives the rim width without an actual sonar device fitted to the machine: having established the first correction plane with the automatic gauge, the software calculates the position of the outer plane from the measured unbalance and the tolerance that AutoAdaptive has worked out for that wheel. The consequence is that nobody reaches for a caliper. Rim width entered by hand is one of the most reliably wrong numbers in a tire bay — it is measured in an awkward place, on a dirty rim, usually by someone in a hurry — and a wrong width sends the outer weight to the wrong place. Removing the measurement removes the error. Direct measures input then eliminates the balancing-mode selection as well, so the geometry the machine measured is the geometry it treats. AutoAdaptive, the Brake, and the Cycle AutoAdaptive sets a tolerance per wheel. Rather than applying one fixed residual-imbalance threshold to everything that goes on the shaft, it reads the wheel's weight and dimensions and calculates the residual value at which vibration stops being perceptible at the steering wheel. Combined with the OPB program it also saves time, because a wheel that is genuinely finished is not spun again to chase a number that would change nothing the driver could feel. Static residual force minimization works the same seam from the other side. An electro-magnetic brake holds the wheel at the weight position instead of letting it drift back under its own weight, and a quick-clamp wing nut handles clamping, which on this machine is manual. Average cycle time is 5 seconds, and the machine arrives fully assembled and plug-and-play. Will It Fit, and What Does It Need? Power is 110 VAC, 1 ph, 50/60 Hz — an ordinary single-phase outlet, with no three-phase supply and no compressed air required, which is precisely why this machine suits a small garage. Balancing speed is 100 rpm. Capacity is 36″ maximum tire diameter, 30″ maximum rim diameter, 20″ maximum rim width and 165 lbs (75 kg) maximum wheel weight, and it handles steel and custom wheels with clip-on, tape-weight and hidden-spoke modes up to that 30″ rim. Shipping weight is 280 lbs. The footprint is the point of the machine, but still leave clear floor in front of the shaft so a wheel can be lifted on and off without twisting, and headroom for the guard to swing. Confirming the outlet, the floor space and the delivery access route is the buyer's responsibility. Perfect For Small garages and repair shops that want 3D data entry without giving up a bay to get it. Busy tire shops needing a second machine to back up a larger balancer at peak, rather than a full-size duplicate. Shops with rotating or less experienced staff, where a guided touchscreen produces the same result whoever is operating it. Mixed steel and custom alloy work within the capacities above, including hidden-spoke corrections. What's in the Box Supplied with the machine: the 12″ video touch monitor, the 3D inner data entry arm, AutoAdaptive enhancement with static residual force minimization, direct measures input, guided weight placement with ALU and hidden-spoke modes, the electro-magnetic brake and quick-clamp wing nut. It is made in Italy, fully tested and assembled in the USA, and supplied plug-and-play and fully assembled. Cones, adaptors and any wheel-lift accessory are not itemised in the material we hold — ask us rather than assume, and we will confirm what ships in the crate.

It does not record an independent third-party safety or conformity assessment, and we will not imply one — a country of origin is not an assessment, and neither is a final assembly and test step, however carefully it is done. If you have to evidence independent assessment to an insurer, a municipal purchasing department or a local inspector, send us the requirement in their words before you order and we will come back with a documented answer. Shipping and Delivery This balancer travels by freight to the lower 48 states, the charge calculated live at checkout for the ZIP code you enter — today's rate to your address, not a figure baked into a page. Decide in advance how a 280 lbs crate leaves the trailer. The carrier's obligation ends at the tailgate; unloading is the receiver's. A forklift or a dock makes it trivial. Without either, take terminal pickup and collect it with something that can lift it. Residential delivery is offered and carries a residential fee, added at checkout when you choose it. Inspect the shipment before you sign for it. Look at every face of the crate, photograph a crushed corner or a torn wrap, and write the damage onto the bill of lading in words a claims adjuster will understand. A clean signature says the goods arrived intact, and it is very hard to unsay afterwards. If anything looks wrong, call, text or chat with us and we will start the claim alongside you. Warranty The manufacturer's warranty applies. We have not restated its length or its coverage on this page on purpose: the warranty document that ships with the machine is the governing text, and a summary written into a product description is the sort of thing that drifts out of date and then gets quoted back at us in a dispute. Ask and we will send you the current document before you commit. The one piece of advice worth putting in writing: do not disassemble a suspect component before a claim is open. A manufacturer that receives a part already taken apart usually declines it, because the cause of the failure can no longer be established by inspection. Photograph the fault, write down what the machine was doing when it happened, and call us before you pick up a tool.
