Specifications:

Standard Accessories:

The Coats 1600 includes the mounting and balancing accessories needed for common passenger car and light truck wheel applications, along with organized side storage for frequently used accessories. Additional Coats cones, adapters, adjustable pin plates, and specialty mounting accessories are available separately to expand wheel coverage.

ProBalance Technology®:

ProBalance Technology® is one of the features that sets the Coats 1600 apart from other models in the Direct Drive Series. Coats' advanced unbalance correction methodology is designed to minimize both static and couple unbalance, helping technicians achieve a more complete performance balance and reduce balance-related customer comebacks.

Coats Direct Drive Technology:

The 1600 is built around Coats' proven Direct Drive platform. The motor and spindle are combined into a single factory pre-balanced assembly rather than relying on a conventional belt-and-pulley drive system. With fewer moving drive components, Direct Drive is designed to provide excellent accuracy, durability, and long-term reliability while reducing the need for frequent calibration.

Touchscreen & 3D Automatic Data Entry:

An intuitive touchscreen interface makes the Coats 1600 easy for technicians to learn and operate. Automatic 3D data entry captures wheel distance, diameter, and width, reducing manual measurements and helping eliminate setup errors before the balance cycle begins.

Speed Thread™:

Speed Thread™ improves wheel mounting efficiency by allowing the technician to thread the hub nut with the push of a pedal rather than manually spinning it onto the shaft. For shops balancing wheels throughout the day, eliminating this repetitive step can help improve technician productivity and floor-to-floor service times.

Laser Guided Weight Placement:

Enhanced laser guidance visually identifies the proper corrective weight location, helping technicians accurately position Tape-A-Weight™ and other corrective weights with less trial and error. The result is faster, more consistent weight placement during the balancing process.

Stop, Lock & Index:

After determining the corrective weight position, Stop, Lock & Index automatically rotates the wheel to the proper location and locks the spindle in place. Combined with laser guidance, this feature simplifies weight placement and helps technicians complete the balancing process quickly and accurately.

Built for Shops Where Balancing Matters:

The Coats 1600 is designed for professional tire dealers, dealerships, general repair facilities, and other automotive service shops where wheel balancing is performed regularly and technician efficiency matters. Its combination of advanced balancing technology and productivity-focused automation helps shops achieve accurate results while reducing unnecessary steps during mounting, measurement, and weight placement.

Why Choose the Coats 1600-3D?

The Coats 1600-3D is the premium choice within the Coats Direct Drive Series for shops that want advanced balancing capability without moving to a full diagnostic wheel balancer. It combines ProBalance Technology®, true 3D automatic data entry, touchscreen operation, Speed Thread™, laser-guided weight placement, and Stop, Lock & Index with the durability of Coats Direct Drive technology.

Compared with the Coats 1500, the 1600 adds meaningful technology and automation, including ProBalance Technology®, a touchscreen interface, full distance/diameter/width automatic data entry, and Speed Thread™. For shops performing wheel balancing as a core service, these additional capabilities make the Coats 1600-3D Direct Drive Wheel Balancer the most advanced choice in the Coats Direct Drive lineup.
