Balancing machine for balancing vehicle wheels
First Claim
1. A balancing machine for balancing vehicle wheels, comprising a supporting structure for supporting grip and rotation means for gripping and rotating a wheel to be balanced, detection means for detecting the unbalance of the wheel during rotation, at least a processing unit which is operatively associated to said grip and rotation means and to said detection means, at least a screen which is associated to said supporting structure and which is operatively associated to said processing unit and adapted to display the detected unbalance data and selectable functions or lists of functions, and at least a control panel for the selection of said functions or lists of functions having at least a touch-screen control surface, wherein said machine comprises control means for controlling the operation of said control surface between a continuous operating mode, in which the touching of said control surface between two positions leads to scrolling between said functions or lists of functions, and a discrete operating mode, in which on said control surface is determined at least a discrete portion and the touching of said discrete portion leads to the selection of one of said functions or lists of functions.

Abstract
The balancing machine for balancing vehicle wheels comprises a supporting structure of grip and rotation means for gripping and rotating a wheel to be balanced, detection means for detecting the unbalance of the wheel during rotation, a processing unit which is operatively associated to said grip and rotation means and to said detection means, a screen associated to the supporting structure which is operatively associated to the processing unit and adapted to display the detected unbalance data and selectable functions or lists of functions, a control panel for the selection of the functions or lists of functions having a touch-screen control surface, and control means for controlling the operation of the control surface between a continuous operating mode, in which the touching of the control surface between two positions leads to scrolling between the functions or lists of functions, and a discrete operating mode, in which on the control surface is determined at least a discrete portion and the touching of the discrete portion leads to the selection of one of the functions or lists of functions.
