Coats 1300 Features
Direct Drive Technology
The Coats 1300 features a pre-balanced motor and spindle assembly integrated into a single unit that always stays calibrated to zero. This direct drive design eliminates belt maintenance and frequent recalibrations required by standard balancers. Technicians benefit from consistent, reliable performance day after day with minimal downtime for adjustments or service calls.
Automatic 2-D Data Entry
The 1300 automatically captures distance and diameter measurements through the offset arm system, eliminating technician data entry errors that slow the balancing process. This intelligent automation reduces manual input mistakes, accelerates cycle time, and ensures precise wheel measurements for every balance job without tedious manual calculation.
Static-on-Screen Display
The LED interface simultaneously displays both static and dynamic unbalance data on a single screen, allowing technicians to assess wheel balance conditions at a glance. This comprehensive unbalance view enables faster decision-making about weight placement and reduces the time spent interpreting separate read-outs, improving shop productivity.
8 Balancing Modes
The 1300 supports 8 different balancing modes with 0.01 oz resolution, providing flexibility for standard wheels, light trucks, and specialty applications. Multiple balancing algorithms ensure optimal results for virtually any wheel assembly, reducing comebacks and customer complaints about wheel vibration and ride quality issues.
