MADISON, Ind. — Vehicle Service Group has launched a line of Rotary fully automatic air conditioning diagnostic and recharging equipment through its new partnership with Texa.
Texa designs, develops and produces diagnostic tools for the vehicle repair industry.
The new "Rotary powered by Texa" product lines will provide U.S. automotive service professionals with fully automatic air conditioning charging solutions designed to make the entire process quick, efficient and cost effective, the companies said.
VSG said the partnership will allow Rotary to add a new level of innovation to its product offering.
The new Rotary equipment line can recover, recycle and recharge R134a and R1234yf refrigerant gases.
Three models will be available in the spring:
- The single-gas R3AC50-A (R134a refrigerant compatible);
- The single-gas R3AC60-YF (R1234yf refrigerant compatible); and
- The dual-gas R3AC80-AYF (both R134a and R1234yf compatible) that automatically purges between gas changes.
"These AC machines, coupled with Rotary's unparalleled service and support network, are an absolute game-changer," Ian Wendler, vice president and general manager for VSG Americas, said.
"We look forward to hitting the market this spring with a product that will increase the amount of work shops can perform — and revenue that can be obtained — as we head into the busy AC season."
The machines speed up the process times and updates vehicle data, enabling service centers to charge more vehicles per year, according to the company.
Each machine can update automatically, receive remote assistance and connect to other devices, such as printers and smartphones. The new product line is also backed by Rotary's service network and warranty.
