Abstract
A method and an apparatus for handling a motor vehicle wheel on a tire fitting machine in which the wheel is clamped fast by means of clamping elements on the inside at the wheel rim dish or on the outside at the wheel rim flanges. Prior to the wheel being clamped fast the wheel material is sensed by means of a sensor and, in the case of a non-ferromagnetic material, a signal for a material-protective clamping procedure and/or for a material-protective tire fitting or removal procedure is outputted by a signal generator actuated by the sensor.
