Ranger ZR650 Digital Wheel Balancer/Tire Balancer

The ZR650 wheel balancer features Dynamic, Static, and Performance Alloy capability combined with a rapid six-second cycle time and automatic braking. The ZR650 wheel balancing unit also features gram/ounce selection with automatic round-off, millimeter/inch selection, top-dead-center weight position indicator, split weight indicator for hiding weights, manual start with hood up, automatic start when hood is lowered, six different balancing modes and a self calibration program. A high-volume top weight tray with multiple storage areas gives you room to inventory a wide variety of wheel weights, cones and tools. A swivel display screen allows you to position the panel to a glare-free zone when excessive light interferes with the ability to read the wheel balancer's screen. A precision-machined, hardened-steel 36-mm shaft comes standard with a quick-release hub nut to dramatically reduce set-up times and is equipped with side-positioning pedal to hold wheels at precisely 12-o’clock for proper weight placement. A new style “open-side” hood wheel balancer design allows for a broader coverage of tire shapes and sizes.

Solve complex wheel vibration problems with Drive-Check™ technology
The Ranger ZR650 wheel balancer is more than just a wheel balancer – it’s a highly precise vibration detection balancing solution that simulates driving speed conditions and measures computer-generated imbalance of the tire and wheel assembly automatically. It then recommends the most cost effective weight optimization correction as needed which minimizes weight usage and maximizes productivity. The ZR650 wheel balancer calculates the exact weight necessary to achieve an optimal balance for almost every tire and wheel combination. A full-menu of time saving features include dynamic, static, and multiple performance alloy settings allowing you to balance OEM wheel configurations and performance wheels with minimal effort and speed. Brightly displayed LED indicators mark the exact amount and location in mere seconds. Like all Ranger wheel balancers, the ZR650 wheel balancer is industrial grade built for perfectly balanced wheels day after day, around the clock.

Drive-Check™ technology
The ZR650's Drive-Check technology dramatically improves rotational measuring typically used to diagnose and repair ride disturbance complications. The highly precise ZR650 wheel balancer performs a computer generated driving simulation then checks and measures the tire/wheel assembly for imbalance and possible runout of the rim and tire. With the ZR650 wheel balancer by Ranger Products, virtually all possible complaints due to rotational imbalance are eliminated before the wheel is mounted on the vehicle.

User friendly controls

A touch-pad display panel features tire and wheel assembly graphics to help simplify speed entry of wheel data and helps guide technicians through balancing procedures. Operator function keys are labeled with simple, easy-to-read icons helping operators identify and command all balancing functions. Bright LED weight placement indicators show weight positions as the wheel is gently rolled to exact top-dead-center. Tiered weight placement indicators help identify out-of-sight weight placement such as split-weight or hidden “behind-the-spoke” techniques. Aids with clip-on, and tape weight placement at precise locations for zero-on balancing every time.

Multi-directional anti-glare control panel
In order to minimize sunlight glare and increase user productivity the ZR650 wheel balancer features a multi-directional control panel and anti-glare surface that improves touch screen readability. Easy horizontal and vertical adjustment of the control panel minimizes glare and reflections from overhead lights, windows, and other light sources. In addition to multi-angle positioning, the ZR650 wheel balancing control panel features a screen surface that causes light to diffuse and reflect for better visibility.

Quick and Precise Set-Up
Multi-size center cones and a full rubber perimeter no-mar “Quick-Nut” bell adapter makes mounting wheels fast and easy and minimizes the risk of costly wheel damage.

Highly precise
The highly precise and accurate ZR650 wheel balancer features 64-bit architecture and single‐chip technology for unprecedented speed and accuracy - especially when using sophisticated balance and weight placement techniques required for newer high-tech OEM and aftermarket wheels. Single-chip 64-bit architecture provides improved stability and accuracy along with greater application speed and data processing while using less hardware. By reducing hardware, service and maintenance costs are reduced and equipment life cycle is increased. An extremely fast dedicated hyper transport protocol allows data to communicate with the micro-processor at much faster speeds resulting in lower power consumption, reduced heat and increased stability and accuracy.

Multi-directional quartz piezoelectric load sensors
The ZR650 wheel balancer uses highly precise dual-component piezoelectric quartz load sensors combined with a single digital rotation encoder that measure both longitudinal, transversal, and shear effects for multi-directional force unbalance detection. The piezoelectric force sensors used on the ZR650 wheel balancers are very sensitive and offer long-term stability and freedom from fatigue for a service life that is virtually unlimited. The high rigidity quartz crystal sensors result in very high frequency detection in all three directions of measurement.

Mounting Cone Package
The ZR650 wheel balancer tooling package not only includes our standard car and light truck cones, but a heavy-duty truck cone as well. This well equipped package includes three automotive and light truck cones; 1.75” - 2.75”, 2.75” - 3.50”, and 3.50” - 4.25”, and one truck cone 4.50” - 5.00”.

Weight Optimization
The ZR650 wheel balancer automatically calculates the minimum amount of weight needed to achieve an optimal balance for the tire and wheel configuration so you use less weight which adds up to real savings and increases your bottom line.

VALUABLE TIME-SAVING OPTIONS

No More Heavy Lifting
Our optional RWL-350 wheel lift makes light work out of heavy lifting by servicing large, oversize truck and custom wheels that usually require extra effort on part of the technician. The optional RWL-350 pneumatic wheel lift helps technicians mount wheels effortlessly on the balancer, preventing potential injuries and fatigue from manually lifting heavy wheels. The lever-controlled wheel lift quickly raises the wheel and a bearing mounted slider positions them for easy mounting. One handed operation means the technician’s free hand remains able to control the wheel assembly once it is lifted into the mounting position. The portable wheel lift handles wheels up to 350 pounds and takes up minimal space around the balancer.

Motorcycle Capable
This optional Universal Wheel Clamp Kit comes with a shaft and adapters to accommodate Harley Davidson, Japanese, and European Motorcycles with hub assemblies up to 9-1/2" inches wide. It quickly installs on all Ranger computer wheel balancers with a 36mm shaft. The adapter kit is designed to balance wheels with a center-hole diameter from 5/8" to 1-1/4". Kit Includes: (1) Universal Wheel Clamp, (1) Shaft, (4) Centering Cones, (1) Short Spacer, (1) Long Spacer, and (1) Spin-On Nut.

Flange Plate Kit
Essential for the more precise balancing, this adjustable multi-position flange plate kit includes centering pin adapters to fit most import and domestic car and light truck lug-bolt patterns. The specially designed lug-bolt adaptors balance wheels far more accurately than a cone can do by itself, resulting in a smooth, vibration free drive. Includes flange plate kit and measuring caliper.
