  • Publication number: 20260287042
    Abstract: A balance weight pressure-bonding device pressure-bonds, to a wheel inner circumferential surface, a balance weight which is to be attached to the inner circumferential surface. The device includes a pressing member having a pressing surface arranged to press the balance weight against the inner circumferential surface in a state in which the balance weight is sandwiched between the pressing surface and the inner circumferential surface, a pressing force sensor detecting a pressing force with which the pressing surface presses the balance weight during pressing of the balance weight by the pressing member, a drive unit driving the pressing member, and a controller controlling the drive unit. The controller drives the drive unit and causes the pressing surface to press the balance weight against the inner circumferential surface and pressure-bond the balance weight to the inner circumferential surface, based on detection of the pressing force by the pressing force sensor.
