Latest Patents
Ruhl's latest patents include a vehicle wheel balancing machine equipped with advanced sensing means. This balancing machine is designed for wheels of various sizes and types, featuring a main shaft and a structure for mounting the wheel. It incorporates unbalance measurement related to compensating planes of the wheel. The sensing structure detects the spacing of these compensating planes and the compensating radius on the wheel. A displaceable sensing lever of constant length is utilized, which assumes an angular position proportional to the compensating radius. Additionally, the machine includes a mechanism for pivotally mounting the sensing lever and an element for supplying electrical output signals to an evaluation member. This allows for precise determination of wheel unbalance during measuring runs.
Another significant patent involves a balancing machine that features an apparatus for sensing geometrical data of rotary members, such as motor vehicle wheels. This apparatus includes a measuring sensor arranged on a support bar, which is parallel to the main shaft. The sensor is rotatable and has a pivot head that allows for the measurement of pivotal angles. The design ensures that the sensing head can move toward and
