Hunter aligns with new software system

Hunter Engineering’s newly introduced Series 611T Heavy-Duty Alignment System incorporates Hunter’s exclusive WinAlign HD Alignment Software, a powerful computer and Microsoft Windows 98 SE operating system to deliver alignment features specifically designed for heavy-duty truck, trailer and bus applications.

The software supports 33 heavy-duty axle configurations and dozens of truck/trailer, bus and dolly manufacturer configurations. WinAlign HD also includes an extensive database of OEM specifications. By collecting and comparing the alignment measurements of the tested vehicle with the database specifications of that specific vehicle type, WinAlign HD automatically calculates and displays all alignment measurements in a color-coded format to show the technician which angles are out of specification. Any needed adjustments can made by using the bar graph targets to guide the technician to a proper alignment, the company says.

The 611T Alignment System’s DVD drive can hold as much vehicle information as 14 CD-ROM discs. The R611 cabinet includes a smoked glass, flip-up panel covering a slide-out printer tray and hinged doors for easy access to the computer. A choice of 27, 19 or 17-inch color monitors is available.

The addition of DSP306T Wheel Sensors speeds the display of alignment information. Each sensor contains a Digital Signal Processor, which processes data at each wheel before sending the information to the console. Optional DSP306T-HFSS Cordless Sensors further save set-up time as there are no cables or toe lines to connect. A High Frequency Spread Spectrum transmitter in each sensor sends data to a receiver on the console. The signal is virtually uninterruptible, even by solid objects. The sensors are accurate to 600 inches.
