Hunter Introduces HawkEye™ High-Definition Digital Imaging Wheel Alignment
Faster Alignment and Increased Productivity in a Smaller Footprint
Hunter’s new HawkEye™ high-definition digital imaging alignment system employs patented technology to offer shops the multiple benefits of precision, high-speed alignment and greater productivity, while using a minimum amount of bay space. Optimized for speed and efficiency, the new HawkEye alignment system significantly reduces service time by providing alignment measurements in less than two minutes and the potential to complete the job, including adjustment, in as few as three trips around the vehicle.
In addition to the performance benefits it offers, the HawkEye system also significantly reduces the distance required from the front turnplates to the front bay wall to secure accurate alignment readings. Combined with a range of Hunter alignment rack options, the HawkEye alignment system can achieve a minimum overall bay length that fits the most challenging shop floor layouts.
High-Definition Imaging Sensors Speed Service
HawkEye™ sensors use multi dimensional modeling to provide accurate alignment measurements. The operator can use either live plane mode, which uses the targets as a reference plane, or the traditional patented alignment mode, which uses the rack runways as a reference plane.
Four high-resolution digital cameras continuously measure wheel target position and orientation, providing the same alignment measurements as conventional sensors.
Hunter WA Alignment Consoles
Hunter’s WA alignment consoles has upgraded PC hardware and many popular premium features standard.
The WA is also available with special cabinet designs that hold alignment tool kits and aftermarket correction kits.
WinAlign® Software Contains the Largest Vehicle Information Database and Is Designed to Maximize Your Alignment Profits!
WinAlign® alignment software contains the largest vehicle-specific information database in the industry, as well as many patented adjustment, productivity and merchandising features that speed and simplify the alignment process.
Installed in 60 countries and operating in 36 languages, WinAlign Software continues to lead the industry in innovation and performance.
High-Definition Alignment Targets
- High-definition enhancement for use with HawkEye sensors, providing a larger field of view both horizontally and vertically.
- Smaller and lighter, high-definition alignment targets are very easy to handle.
- High-definition alignment targets are durable featuring corrosion resistance, a shatterproof aluminum faceplate, impact-resistant housing and protective bumpers.
- High-definition alignment targets are easy to use with no electronics to damage if dropped, no calibration and no cables - They're virtually maintenance-free.
- Self-centering wheel adaptors fit 10" to 24.5" rims. Optional extensions and adaptors are available for
specialty and hard-to-mount wheels.

HawkEye Sensor Configurations
Space-Saving HawkEye™ Sensors Offer Enhanced Productivity From a Small Footprint
The PowerBay™ system requires a minimum of bay space. Space is saved at the front, because the new HawkEye sensors can be installed to within an inch of a wall!
 |
 |
|
| The fixed-column standard configuration HS401FC fits most service bay applications.* |
HS401LC provides a vertical camera lift with a 51-inch range of motion to achieve additional lift height or to work with the vehicle lowered to the floor.* |
|
 |
 |
|
| The HS401WM may also be mounted to the ceiling. When paired with the RX-P Pit In-Ground Scissor Lift, the combination is ideal for drive-through service bays handling vehicles with minimum ground clearance.* |
HS401CM cabinet-mounted sensors, attached to a mobile alignment console, can service multiple alignment bays.* |
Other HawkEye Sensor Configurations Include:
- HS401FM - Floor-mount drive-through configuration
- HS401PS - Overhead mounted cameras for single-pit-rack applications
- HS401PD - Overhead mounted cameras for double-pit-rack applications
