I N T R O D U C T I O N Wheel Alignment is one of the fastest growing businesses in the UK so if you re thinking of getting started then John Bean has the product for you. The John Bean alignment range is probably the broadest in the UK; starting with the dynaliner laser aligners, available in wall-mounted or trolley versions. Workshops looking for a professional system that meets the accuracy and technical requirements set by vehicle manufacturers should choose from either the John Bean Prism or 3D digital imaging ranges. Hybrid Wheel Aligners: The world s first 100% portable imaging wheel aligner. Combining CCD and digital imaging technology for improved performance. The utilisation of two pods (Portable Device) on the rear axle and passive targets on the front eliminates problems with low front spoilers. The next step in wheel alignment. 3D Digital Imaging Alignment: A revolutionary alignment technology pioneered by John Bean s parent company, Snap-on in the mid 1990 s. These systems offer the ultimate performance to price ratio. 3D Digital imaging uses the latest camera technology to capture a vehicle s alignment in 3 dimensional space. Conventional run-out compensation is not required so full alignment readings can be achieved in less than three minutes. Moreover, no sensitive electronics are mounted to the wheels so there is minimal risk of damage to the equipment during operation.
