Abstract
Disclosed is a method for correcting an unbalance on a vehicle wheel including a rim and a tire, which includes measuring the unbalance of the vehicle wheel in an unbalance measuring station, rotating the vehicle wheel in the unbalance measuring station into a defined angular position and transmitting the defined angular position and the correction data to a control device for controlling an applicator head of a balancing station, transferring the vehicle wheel from the unbalance measuring station to the balancing station by means of a gripper arranged on a handling device and centrally locating and holding it in the balancing station, loading a corrective element which has one side coated with an adhesive and exhibits the weight amount determined in the unbalance measuring station into the applicator head of the balancing station, and rotating the vehicle wheel and/or the applicator head in dependence upon the control device in such a way that the corrective element in the cavity of the wheel rim reaches the correction plane and the attachment location on the attachment surface, and fastening the corrective element by pressing its adhesive-coated side against the attachment surface of the rim.
