Make it fast, make it accurate, make it work in my shop layout and help me make customers happy.   Alignment equipment suppliers have heard your requests and have answered them with new features to fulfill your needs.

Lee McLaughlin, Bee Line’s senior vice president, says of his company’s LC7080 Laser computer wheel alignment system, “The advanced technology in this system allows us to provide our customers a reliable, accurate and simple method to efficiently align anything that comes through their doors.”

It’s just one of the new products on the market that are helping to increase your shop efficiency and profitability.

Bee Line LC7080 Laser

The Bee Line LC7080 Laser computer wheel alignment system can be used for the smallest passenger vehicle to the largest commercial tractor. With the Bee Line LC7080, alignments can be performed in any shop condition whether it’s on the floor, on a lift or on a runway system. For shops that own a rear axle aligner, the LC7080 will seamlessly integrate the equipment when gauging out the rear axles on tractors and trailers. The LC7080 can be used as a two-headed truck and trailer alignment machine with the rear axle aligner, or a four-headed car alignment machine. Other features include LCD monitors which are built into all four wireless alignment heads offering live readings to save overall alignment time. A user-friendly built-in system calibration fixture allows the user to calibrate system accuracy in minutes. An easy-to-understand help section is built into WindSpeed 7000 Software featuring user-friendly help videos. Advanced steering wheel centering calculations achieve pinpoint accuracy on the first attempt. Lightweight lithium ion batteries power units offer 10 hours of continuous use. The software displays a live screen during alignment adjustments that alert the technician when the vehicle is within spec and generates before and after color printouts.
