Hunter’s AutoComp Elite® brake lathe is the proud recipient
of the PTEN 2018 Innovation Award . The AutoComp Elite®
has been approved by almost all OEs including Acura, BMW/Mini,
Fiat Chrysler Automobile, Ford, GM, Honda, Hyundai, Infiniti, Kia,
Lexus, Nissan, Subaru, Toyota and Volkswagen.
The AutoComp Elite™ brake lathe features patent pending
automatic compensation technology. The system directly
determines the position of the internal plates to maximize
speed and accuracy without operator intervention. The result
is the fastest, highest quality brake job possible. The new
7” touchscreen provides a user-friendly interface that allows
technicians to quickly look up required adaptors, operate the
lathe including changing cutting direction and speed, and view
instructional videos. AutoComp Elite™ also includes patented
Anti-Chatter Technology (ACT) which eliminates the buildup
of vibration (chatter) that can occur when machining rotors
at a fixed speed.
Hunter Product Manager, Greg Meyer noted, “The speed and
ease of resurfacing rotors with the AutoComp Elite™ will allow
service facilities to provide the highest quality brake service
to their customers.”
Hunter Engineering Company® is the global leader in alignment
systems, wheel and tire service, brake service and inspection
lane equipment. Hunter® equipment is approved and used
by vehicle manufacturers, automobile and truck dealers, tire
dealers and service facilities around the world. ■
JUDGES COMMENTS
"The built in touch screen for looking up
adapters and training is a nice touch."
"Having a database of which
adaptors to use is helpful."
"The two most time consuming parts
of on car service are finding the
correct adapter and doing the run out.
This helps with both."
