New Series of Wheel Aligners for Hofmann and John Bean

The pioneer of wheel alignment technology is going to launch a new series of wheel aligners with the special PRISM technology.

With the PRISM aligners targets are fitted to the front wheels and so-called pods (portable device) are provided on the rear wheels. With this special technology, which is implemented in the Hofmann geoliner 550 prism and the John Bean Visualiner PRISM, the optical communication between front wheel targets cannot be interrupted - hence no spoiler adaptor is necessary. On the other hand wheel alignment is highly flexible with these aligners so that they can be used on different alignment bays, handling all vehicles from the small Smart car to a large van.

Aligners in PRISM technology require hardly any maintenance - communication is wireless via Bluetooth and no electronic components are fitted to the front wheels.

An added advantage: the new PRISM technology allows measurements up to maximum steer without electronic turntables, which saves money, too.

Another novelty: the measurement components such as pods, targets and wheel clamps are made of magnesium and are therefore extremely light.

Both geoliner 550 prism and Visualiner PRISM are equipped with modern lithium-ion batteries which have an especially long life. The batteries are software-controlled to enable the user to safely complete the alignment
