New! Revolution WalkAway capability halves the technician’s time operating the tire changer when active
LAS VEGAS-The Revolution™ tire changer with WalkAway™ capability features 80-seconds of autonomous bead breaking and demounting that can be performed without an operator present. That’s a 57% reduction in operator time on the tire changer! The Revolution™ allows the operator to “walk away” freeing them up to perform balancing procedures or other shop tasks during the longest portion of the tire changing action. WalkAway™ also reduces operator effort and potential errors.

WalkAway™ increases the automatic and autonomous operation of the Revolution™ tire changer to save technicians time, effort and mistakes. When paired with wheel balancing, over 25% total time savings is possible for set of four tires. During WalkAway™ the operator simply loads and unloads the assembly, orients the TPMS, enables WalkAway™ then offloads the old tire.
Tire changing is an all-day task, not a race for single tires. Assembly after assembly, the partially autonomous Revolution™ outpaces conventional tire changing equipment and now WalkAway™ adds even more capacity. Most technicians mount and balance assemblys sequentially. First demounting and mounting all four tires, then balancing all four assemblies. The Revolution™ featuring WalkAway™ frees the operator to balance assemblies while the Revolution™ demounts the next tire – autonomously – saving time, adding capacity, and reducing the time technicians spend on each job.
Self-monitoring WalkAway™ can be easily set for tires two through four in a set. A status indicator lamp signals when the machine is in operation, stopped or requires operator interaction. The Revolution™ also features additional autonomous functions such as WalkAway™ inflation and WalkAway™ bead massage.
The Revolution™ tire changer with WalkAway™ will be demonstrated alongside Hunter’s Road Force® Elite diagnostic wheel balaner at NADA 2018 in booth #2040C.
