Hofmann Geodyna® 8200p Wheel Balancer with Non-Contact Data Entry

What is the Hofmann Geodyna 8200p?
The Hofmann Geodyna 8200p is a wheel balancer with non-contact data entry. It measures wheel dimensions automatically and picks the balancing mode, weight type, and weight position on its own, so the technician doesn’t have to enter anything by hand. It uses laser-guided weight placement, automatic spoke detection, and an electromechanical Power Clamp™, and it can measure runout on the tire and wheel assembly. Hofmann describes the geodyna 8200p as EV ready.

Key Features:

• Automatic data entry. The balancer measures the wheel and selects the balancing mode, weight type, and weight position, which shortens the balancing cycle and reduces input errors.
• Automatic spoke detection. A laser scanner finds the number and position of the rim spokes, so split weights can be placed behind them.
• easyWeight™ laser weight placement. A laser shows exactly where to apply each weight.
• Split Weight Mode. Weights can be hidden behind spokes, which keeps alloy and high-performance wheels looking clean.
• Power Clamp™ electromechanical clamping. The wheel is clamped with a constant force, for repeatable results.
• Runout measurements. Measurement points are captured at a resolution of 0.004 in. (0.1 mm) and used to model the tire and wheel assembly in 3D. The balancer reports radial runout peak-to-peak from the first to the third harmonic.
• Match mounting. This optimizes how the tire sits on the rim, which can reduce the amount of weight needed.
• QuickBAL™. The number of revolutions is adjusted to each wheel to cut cycle time.
• SmartSonar™. Sonar sensors detect rim width automatically.
• Semi-automatic gauge arm with easyALU™. The technician touches the rim with the gauge arm, and the system enters the rim dimensions and selects the balancing mode.
• Stop in Position. One touch on the screen rotates the wheel to the weight application position.
• Touchscreen interface. A large touchscreen shows large digits and color-coded weight position indicators.
• LED rim lighting. It lights the rim for cleaning and weight placement.
• Reports. Reports can be saved as PDFs to a flash drive or sent over the local network. Network reporting requires additional hardware.
• EZ-Collets mobile app. Technicians select the vehicle, and the app shows the right collet, flange plate, or speed plate.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What does “non-contact data entry” mean on the geodyna 8200p?
The balancer measures wheel dimensions automatically and selects the balancing mode, weight type, and weight position, with no manual input from the technician.

What size wheels can the geodyna 8200p balance?
Automatic data entry covers rim diameters from 14 to 26 in. and rim widths from 3 to 15 in. Manual entry covers 8 to 32 in. in diameter and 1 to 20 in. in width. Maximum wheel diameter is 37 in., and maximum wheel weight is 154 lb.

Can it hide wheel weights behind spokes?
Yes. Automatic spoke detection and Split Weight Mode place weights behind the spokes.

Does the geodyna 8200p measure runout?
Yes. It measures at a resolution of 0.004 in. (0.1 mm) and reports radial runout peak-to-peak from the first to the third harmonic.

Is the geodyna 8200p suitable for EV wheels?
Hofmann describes the geodyna 8200p as EV ready.

What power does the geodyna 8200p require?
230V, single phase, 60 Hz.
