MADISON, Ind., June 19, 2017 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Rotary(®) introduces a full line of professional wheel balancers to meet any automotive shop's needs. The line ranges from a value-priced manual model to a sophisticated 3D electronic wheel balancer with microprocessor.

Rotary offers four tough, reliable wheel balancers for motorcycle, car, light truck, van, SUV and other vehicle wheels:

        Equipped with automatic wheel dimension sonar and a laser rim profile
        scanner, this balancer provides perfect balancing with maximum speed and
        precision. It automatically detects the wheel dimension, scans the rim
        profile and selects the appropriate balancing program with no data input
        from the technician. A laser pointer shows exactly where to position
        weights. Large screen display uses icons for easy-to-follow guidance,
        including which weights to use. For wheels up to 176 lbs.  with 10- to
        30-inch rims (automatic). Video: vimeo.com/204545049.

        interactive inputs that guide the operator during the full balancing
        process. Includes automatic storage of distance and diameter and an
        internal data arm that provides quick selection and rim run-out
        measurement. Automatic start, with automatic stop of the wheel in the
        external unbalanced position. Laser line shows where to position
        weights, including hidden/split-spoke weights. Large screen display with
        simple icons. For wheels up to 154 lbs. with 10- to 30-inch rims

        large digital display. Equipped with a heavy-duty shaft and large offset
        for deep rims. For wheels up to 143 lbs. with 10- to 26-inch rims.
    --  R122 Hand Spin Wheel Balancer: A budget-minded wheel balancer that
