The VeeScan H is designed to lift the wheel and fix it with an automatic adaptor that uses the wheel inertia to centre it. VeeScan H offers an integrated roller tray for easy manoeuvrability and integration into a conveyor system and can test wheels up to 900mm diameter. The H is designed with an adjustable-height Control Panel for operator comfort and can be positioned at a convenient distance from the main machine. Open on three sides, the VeeScan H offers easy wheel loading as standard.
