CONWAY, Ark. — Snap-on Inc. has unveiled the John Bean V2380 wheel alignment system that it claims reduces the amount of training and experience needed to operate.
"The new John Bean V2380 is a versatile aligner that features the latest XD target and camera system, while at the same time, offering the most intuitive, easy-to-operate, industry-leading software that John Bean has ever provided on an aligner," said Adam Brown, product manager for John Bean.
"Shops that utilize the new V2380 will move their alignment business in a new, positive direction."
The new alignment system features:
- Touchless AC400 wheel-clamping system designed to make no contact with the wheel with a single fast-action knob and no accessories needed to accommodate a full range of tire sizes. In addition, the XD targets are lighter and take up less space than previous designs, the company said.
- Wheels-off mode eases hard-to-reach adjustments.
- Integrated, fast audit check.
- New user interface to streamline work flow for improved productivity and alignment repair information
- In addition, high-resolution cameras produce live alignment readings and diagnostic data. The camera beam follows automatically as the vehicle is raised by tracking the targets, and the video speed cameras monitor the alignment constantly, providing information to ensure the job is performed correctly.
