Wheel aligner geoliner® 790 AC400 Hofmann

Wheel Aligner geoliner® 790 AC400 Hofmann

Country of Origin: Italy, warranty period - 24 months

The geoliner® 790 AC400 is an advanced wireless 3-camera wheel aligner featuring XD technology, ideal for drive-through bays and high-efficiency service operations. This model offers flexible installation and usage across different service areas, while the integrated Pro42 PLATINUM software with icon-based interface provides all essential functions via a one-click system. The patented digital camera tracking system automatically adjusts to the vehicle height, allowing fast and precise target tracking. AC400 quick-release clamps ensure secure wheel attachment without contacting the rim, minimizing the risk of damage. An optional mobility kit allows easy relocation of the equipment between workstations.

Features:

• 2-Post Camera Tower Design – for accurate vehicle tracking
• Automatic Camera Height Tracking – adjusts to the height of the vehicle
• OEM Procedures – access to manufacturer specifications and adjustments
• Pro42 PLATINUM Software – all features available in a one-click format
• AC400 Clamps – safe and fast attachment without rim contact

Technical Specifications:

• Tire Diameter (AC400): 19″–39″ / 48–99 cm
• Wheel Diameter (AC100): 11″–22″ / 28–56 cm
• Wheelbase: 79″–180″ / 201–457 cm
• Track Width: 48″–96″ / 122–244 cm
• Power Supply: 110–240 V, 50/60 Hz

Adjustments:

• A-Arm – A-shaped suspension component important for wheel alignment
• Cradle – Metal frame holding the engine or suspension components
• Drag Link – Steering linkage that transfers motion between the steering gear and tie rods
• Elevated – Vehicle raised off the ground, e.g., on a lift
• EZ-Toe – A tool or function that simplifies toe angle adjustment when wheels are removed
• Help Videos – Tutorial videos demonstrating tool usage or measurement procedures
• Parts & Tools – All components and tools required for repair or adjustment
• Parts Calculator – A digital tool to calculate necessary parts or quantities
• Single Tie Rod – Steering setup with a single main tie rod, typical in simpler systems
• Camber @ Zero Toe – Camber angle measured with zero toe, helps in accurate vertical alignment
• Toe Curve – Graph showing how toe angle changes with suspension height/load – key for proper chassis tuning and stability
• Wheels Off – Vehicle state with wheels removed, e.g., for alignment or maintenance

Measurements:

• Caster Trail – Distance between the steering axis and the tire’s contact patch; affects steering stability and return
• Frame Angle – Vehicle frame or chassis tilt angle, crucial for geometry setup
• Manual Ride Height – Manually measured and adjusted ride height based on OEM specifications; ensures accurate alignment on non-adjustable suspensions
• Max Turn – Maximum steering angle, helps evaluate steering system limits
• On-Demand Ride Height – Real-time adjustable ride height, usually with air suspension
• Pro-Ackerman – Advanced Ackermann steering geometry for optimized wheel tracking in corners; enhances grip and reduces tire wear
• ROMESS (Optional) – Professional ride height measuring tool for high precision
• SAI (Steering Axis Inclination) – Angle between vertical and pivot axis; affects steering stability and return-to-center
• Scrub Radius – Distance between tire contact point and steering axis projection on the ground; key for steering feel, stability, and braking behavior
• TIP (Target Ride Height) – Manufacturer-defined standard height for accurate geometry setup
• Toe Out On Turns – Toe angle difference between inner and outer wheels in a turn; aligns with Ackermann principle for proper tracking

AC100 Clamps

• Self-centering dual hooks ensure firm and quick attachment – even over hubcaps.

AC400 Clamps

• Clamps onto the tire using optimal pressure without contacting the rim, ensuring safe, quick, and consistent attachment.

Audit Mode

• Performs a quick check of vehicle condition by measuring front and rear camber, track width, toe, wheelbase, wheel diameter, and cross dimensions. This enables fast identification of alignment issues, increased service sales, and ensures the wheel aligner operates at peak efficiency, thereby boosting workshop revenue.

Automatic Height Tracking

• Cameras follow lift movements automatically, eliminating the need for manual readjustment. Simultaneously, the third camera continuously performs calibration to ensure maximum accuracy.

Customizable Alignment Procedure

• Easily tailor the alignment workflow to fit your service needs – simply select the required steps and create a personalized process.

Drive-Through Design

• Camera towers can be placed at the required distance, making the system suitable even for larger vehicles. Additionally, the open space at the front allows for other tasks, such as ADAS calibration or diagnostics.

Mobility Kit (Optional)

• An optional mobility kit offers greater flexibility – the camera mount can be attached to the cabinet, allowing technicians to freely move the entire system throughout the workshop.

Alignment Workflow for Modified Vehicles

• Our intelligent software makes it easy to adjust the alignment procedure to match vehicles with updated OEM settings or modified suspensions.

OEM Procedures

• Advanced software provides direct access to real-time OEM-recommended adjustment and repair procedures. It also indicates the correct clamps to use for precise alignment that meets manufacturer specifications.

Ride Height Targets

• Eliminate manual data entry, speed up the measurement process, and improve accuracy using specially designed optional ride height targets.

VODI™ (Vehicle Orientation Direction Indicator)

• Using simple red and green LED signals, the patented VODI™ technology guides technicians through the measurement process when the monitor is out of view – reducing time spent walking between the vehicle and aligner.
