John Bean alignment system features high-res cameras

CONWAY, Ark. — Snap-on Inc. has introduced the John Bean V2280 imaging wheel alignment system featuring high-resolution cameras.

"The V2280 provides the essential tools for any alignment," said Adam Brown, product manager for John Bean. "Combined, the XD targets, video speed cameras and intuitive software deliver an imaging wheel alignment system that provides powerful capabilities with a low investment in both cost and training."

The John Bean V2280 cameras offer more accurate alignment readings and fault diagnosis, the company said.

Other features include:

• Target tracking cameras with a beam that automatically follows the vehicle as it is raised with any lift by tracking the targets;
• Video speed cameras that constantly monitor the alignment and provide critical fault detection information;
• New user interface which streamlines workflow, enhances productivity and ensures the alignment repair information from Mitchell 1 is one click away;
• XD targets with lightweight, durable and impact-resistant, self-centering AC200 clamps to ensure accuracy and allow measurement of track width wheel base, off-set and set back;
• EZ-Toe that eliminates the need for a steering wheel holder and supports adjustment of toe with the steering wheel turned; and
• Guided adjustments providing automated help for vehicles with single tie rod, drag link and cradle adjustments.
