| When it
comes to award-winning software,
WinAlign®
11 is unmatched! |
Hunter
Engineering is proud to introduce the
eleventh edition of its award-winning
WinAlign® Alignment Software. The
new features of WinAlign 11 speed service
and simplify the increasingly difficult
task of aligning today’s vehicles.
CodeLink™
WinAlign 11 provides support for the optional
CodeLink steering angle sensor reset device.
CodeLink™ directly connects WinAlign
to a vehicle’s OBD-II to recalibrate
the steering angle sensor (SAS) to match
the final alignment angles of the vehicle,
as required by the OEM to complete the
alignment. WinAlign 11 automatically alerts
the technician if the vehicle being serviced
requires SAS reset and includes simple
procedures to quickly and easily reset
the sensor using the CodeLink device.
(See below for more about CodeLink™)
TPMSpecs™
The TPMSpecs™ database takes the
frustration out of servicing TPMS wheels
by organizing and condensing thousands
of OE TPMS reset procedures into an easy-to-understand,
tech-friendly format. TPMSpecs provides
the sensor type, tools needed, service
procedures and any special instructions
based on the specific vehicle being serviced.
No longer will technicians waste valuable
time flipping through the pages of confusing
reference manuals or risk a comeback or
damage from not knowing the proper procedure.
AutoVIN™
AutoVIN™ allows the technician to
begin taking measurements faster than
ever before. Using an optional scanner,
the technician simply scans the VIN bar
code on the vehicle to enter the make
and model into the WinAlign system. WinAlign
then automatically recalls vehicle-specific
specs, adjustment procedures and reference
materials from its vast vehicle information
database for the technician to continue
the service.
Video Library
The WinAlign Video Library is like having
an alignment instructor right in the shop
by providing instant access to detailed
alignment training videos. The Video Library
helps technicians quickly solve alignment
problems, strengthen competency and confidence,
and increase service and profit opportunities.
Video topics include Hardware Operation,
WinAlign Operation, Alignment Fundamentals,
and Hunter Technology.
Hunter Engineering is
the leader in alignment systems, wheel
and tire service, brake service and inspection
lane equipment. Hunter equipment is approved
and used by vehicle manufacturers, automobile
and truck dealers, tire dealers and service
facilities around the world. |

| CodeLink®
provides a simple, integrated solution...
|
|
Hunter
Engineering's patented CodeLink® fully
integrates with Hunter’s WinAlign®
alignment systems to provide fast, simple
solutions to resetting SAS and other related
sensors.
Simple and affordable
• Automatically identifies candidate
vehicles.
• Incorporates SAS reset steps into
alignment procedure.
• On-screen instructions allow the
technician to use the same familiar interface
– easy to learn.
• Much less expensive than OEM and
aftermarket diagnostic scan tools.
• Updates with alignment software
– no additional expensive software
required.
• Dedicated alignment tool –
stays in the alignment bay.
Hunter's CodeLink®
Wins MOTOR Top 20 Tool Award
Hunter Offers New Leverless Conventional
Tire ChangerThe editors of MOTOR Magazine
selected Hunter's patented CodeLink®
as a Top 20 Tool for 2009. It marks Hunter's
twelfth Top 20 Tool award. CodeLink recalibrates
the steering angle sensor (SAS) to match
the final alignment angles of the vehicle,
as required by the OEM, to complete an
alignment.
Currently over 10 million vehicles require
a SAS reset after alignment. Over the
next couple of years that number will
rise significantly with manufacturers
adding electronic stability control (ESC)
systems in all new vehicles by 2012.
Failure to perform the manufacturer’s
required SAS reset after wheel alignment
may cause conditions that could result
in comebacks. Shops that are unequipped
to handle SAS reset risk enduring these
comebacks or may simply have to turn work
away.
Hunter’s CodeLink is an efficient
and economical solution for the growing
number of vehicles that require SAS reset.
CodeLink wirelessly connects Hunter’s
WinAlign® alignment system to the
vehicle OBD-II to recalibrate SAS to match
the final alignment angles of the vehicle
and properly complete the alignment.
CodeLink fully integrates into the WinAlign
system to work quickly and easily with
the software’s simplified and standardized
procedures. Hunter’s WinAlign system
automatically alerts the technician if
the vehicle requires SAS reset and provides
simple step-by-step instructions on-screen
of how to use the CodeLink tool.
CodeLink saves shops money by replacing
the need to purchase multiple OE calibration
tools that cost thousands of dollars each,
not including software maintenance and
training.
With CodeLink, shops have a cost-effective
option to properly complete alignments
on vehicles requiring SAS reset with confidence
and without comebacks. |

Key
Features At A Glance!
Simple, Fast, Profitable Alignments
The Hunter WT Series Heavy-Duty Alignment
Systems utilize a powerful computer, Microsoft®
Windows® Vista and exclusive WinAlign®
HD software to deliver alignment features
specifically for heavy-duty truck, trailer
and bus applications.
• Widest
Scope of Application
• Heavy-Duty
Vehicle Specifications Database
• Sensors
Measure Wheelbases Up to 600 Inches on
Trailers, 500 Inches on Trucks!
• No Toe
Lines or "Strings"
• Cordless
Sensors (Optional)
Rugged Wheel Sensors are Easy
to Mount
Rugged DSP506T Alignment Sensors use a
Digital Signal Processor to process data
at the sensor, speeding the display of
alignment information to the console.
• Integrated
electronic components enhance reliability.
• Hard shell
cover is made of the same bulletproof
material used in fighter jet canopies.
• Impact-prone
areas are protected by integrated bumpers.
No Cables to Slow You Down
No Cables Between Sensors and Console
• HFSS transmitter
in each sensor sends data to the console.
Signal is virtually uninterruptible even
by solid objects.
• Low-cost
rechargeable batteries provide a full
day of continuous operation and can be
"hot-swapped" without interrupting
the alignment job. Docking stations* recharge
sensors between jobs.
No Toe Lines or "Strings"
Between Sensors
• Optical
infrared emitter/CCDs read cross-toe,
front-to-rear toe and wheelbase / trackwidth.
• Solid state
digital inclination transducers measure
caster, camber and S.A.I.
|
Versatile Wheel Adaptors for Trucks
and Buses
Self-Centering Adaptors
• Self-centering
adaptors are light, rigid and offer high
versatility for trucks and buses with
low-hanging bumpers or air dams. Fits
wheels 15 to 28 inches** in diameter.
Optional Hub Center Adaptors are available
for specialty and hard-to-mount wheels.
Patented Straight Steering Wheel
Program
WinToe® Alignment Adjustment System
• Many new
Freightliners feature rack and pinion
steering, which requires the adjustment
of two tie rods. WinToe software simplifies
this adjustment procedure to eliminate
repeated adjustments and virtually ensure
a centered steering wheel on the first
try.
• Eliminates
the need to readjust toe on one side because
of movement on the opposite side. Works
with all vehicles on the road today, from
cars to Freightliners.
WinAlign HD Printouts Help Sell
the Work
• Before
and after alignment results can be printed
in color.
Align Trailers Too!
• Optional
Trailer Alignment Gauge Tool (shown
in use with optional DSP506TXF Sensors)
mounts sensors to the trailer kingpin.
Trailer axles are adjusted to centerline.
