Snap-on Inc. highlighted its V4400 Commander wheel aligner under its John Bean brand.
The V4400 Commander uses an intelligent installation flow to ensure proper setup for each shop's specific needs.
The dual-tower system features two remote alignment posts equipped with two high-resolution cameras that provide a comprehensive, stable field of view and reduce the need for frequent camera adjustments. This configuration does not require a cross-view camera, eliminating the need for a line of sight between the alignment towers and enhancing the system's flexibility.
The new dual-tower design accommodates a variety of vehicle lengths and widths, bay setups, and drive through compatibility.
It can service vehicles as close as 55-inches from the turntables with a working range up to 200-inches. The exclusive long wheelbase mode enables service on light commercial vehicles up to 29-feet long.
Also featured on the new product is the company's artificial intelligence (AI) component, the AIKnow.
This AI component reviews OEM information so technicians can ask any wheel alignment question and receive accurate answers in seconds.
By gathering data from service manuals and OEM specifications, AIKnow gives reliable and up-to-date information and helps in providing the best resource to help streamline the alignment process and enhance shop efficiency.
The V4400 Commander is equipped with the most advanced D2 Max camera technology, which enables quicker rolling compensation for faster alignment service with higher accuracy and repeatability.
When working on vehicles with advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), the aligner will alert you when the vehicle includes ADAS features and provide the correct procedure for adjustments and target placement.
The company highlighted this product and more at the 2024 Specialty Equipment Market Association Show in Las Vegas, Nev. from Nov. 5-8.
