Hi all.

I'm looking at investing a tyre machine for the workshop and wanted to know what's the difference between the semi and full auto. I have used a tyre machine before but never really understood all the different types of machines you can buy.

Cheers

one is fully automatic, one is a little bit automatic and may require some additional input Thumbs Up

The semi automatic machine will have a manually positioned pneumatically powered bead breaker, the Tyre slide also needs to be positioned manually on to the rim. This type is the usual method for motorcycle tyres as i believe the full automatic system only works on car tyres?

The Automatic is more of a cnc or robotic tyre changer, you put the wheel on it punch in the wheel dimensions and hit go, it breaks the bead and removes the tyre in 1 action. You put the new tyre over the wheel hit go again and it does the rest.

Automatics can be operated by virtually anybody with little training, semi-autos need abit of skill and mechanical sympathy.

Like i said though due to the massive range of rim sizes, depths and even materials i dont "think" you can get full autos for motorcycles.... well at least i didn't see one when i was in the trade.
