A pneumatic device facilitates the mounting and demounting of tires from wheels. This equipment utilizes compressed air to power various components, including the bead breaker, tire inflator, and assist arm, simplifying a task that would otherwise be physically demanding and time-consuming. A typical setup includes a central vertical column supporting a horizontal arm, facilitating the manipulation of wheels of varying sizes.
Such equipment significantly enhances productivity and safety in automotive repair and tire service centers. The automation reduces physical strain on technicians, minimizing the risk of injuries associated with manual tire changing. Furthermore, it allows for faster service turnaround times, increasing efficiency and customer satisfaction. The development of this technology evolved from rudimentary manual tools, progressing alongside advancements in pneumatic systems and automotive engineering, reflecting a broader shift towards automation in the industry.
