WinAlign® 7.2 Software Offers New Features and Enhancements to Speed Alignment |
|
SoundGuide™ tone feedback feature and an enhanced ALLDATA Undercar package are two alignment system upgrades now available with Hunter’s new WinAlign® 7.2 alignment software. The SoundGuide feature guides the technician through alignment and adjustment procedures with sound prompts eliminating the need to view the console screen during each step. The ALLDATA Undercar option is now more tightly integrated with WinAlign software, eliminating the need for an extra kit to enable the feature. (ALLDATA Undercar is available the first year without charge with each new Hunter 811 Alignment System.) Additional features expand WinAlign 7.2 software capabilities to support new vehicle designs, OEM requirements, service procedures and shop conditions. |
The new SoundGuide feature of WinAlign software uses sound prompts to guide alignment and adjustment procedures. The technician is not required to see the aligner screen at all times. |
When 4,500 student competitors met recently for the 2004 SkillsUSA Championships in Kansas City, a group of Hunter volunteers worked behind the scenes to help make the event possible. SkillsUSA is a national technical education and training support organization serving 260,000 members. The championships are competitive testing events that challenge students with real-world, workplace situations. Hunter Training Manager Roger Creason, co-chair of the SkillsUSA Automotive Technical Committee, led development of the Automotive Services category tests. Hunter Sales Representatives Bruce Cordle (Kansas City) and Gerald Moss (Arlington, Texas) served as competition judges. Hunter also provided state-of-the-art wheel alignment equipment for the event. |
