Hunter Highlights Vol. 126

Hunter’s new OCL430MD on-vehicle rotor lathe is the ideal solution for shops that service medium-duty trucks and commercial vehicles. It offers all of the speed and productivity features of the Hunter OCL400 brake lathe, but adds heavy-duty design features, components, rotor size capacity and power.

The new lathe handles rotors up to 17.5 inches in diameter and up to 3.5 inches in thickness. A robust I-beam slide and main housing support precision machining. A 1.5-hp 230VAC motor provides the additional torque required for medium-duty truck service. Hunter OCL lathe features such as ACT Anti-Chatter Technology, Pro-Comp® Computerized Compensation and ServoDriveTM Variable Drive System are standard on the OCL430MD.

A full selection of OCL430MD adaptors and accessories to match medium-duty commercial-grade vehicle hub and rotor OE specifications is available from Hunter.

The OCL430MD trolley provides an extended low-to-high working range required for servicing vehicles when a lift rack is not available or practical.

The next generation of WinSI software for Hunter’s PC-based automated brake, sideslip and suspension systems introduces five new or upgraded capabilities that expand the systems’ service, shop management and merchandising capabilities. An upgrade version of the software is available for shops with Hunter PC-based Inspection Lane equipment already installed. New WinSI software features include:

• Work Management features.
• Point and Click vehicle inspection feature offering thousands of vehicle-specific inspection photos to illustrate service points.
• Result Summary report for service managers.
• Last Result Display option that displays pass/fail status – a great merchandising tool for viewing on a remote screen display.
• Stopping Distance Prediction and Pass/Fail Limit features, which are especially useful for transit vehicle applications.

Hunter’s computerized drive-though inspection lane provides a complete brake performance, suspension analysis and wheel alignment test in three minutes. It measures vehicle components as they perform on the road, revealing service opportunities and needed repairs that are often overlooked or ignored. The modular B400 Brake Tester, SA400 Suspension Analyzer and SS100 Sideslip Meter can be installed individually or as a complete unit.
