Hunter Engineering will be adding its SmartSpot technology to its wheel balancers, making weight placement for wheel balancing as precise, accurate, and easy.
SmartSpot is a moving laser dot that locates the exact location where the technician should place the designated tape weights. It's designed to remove any confusion as to where weights should be placed, saving technicians time by reducing weight chasing, or repeated trial and error, by ensuring maximum speed and accuracy the first time.
Additionally, SmartSpot reduces the number of instances where a technician might place the inner weight in the outer location, or vice versa.
This new feature will be standard on Hunter’s Road Force Elite and HD Elite wheel balancers.
“Most of the time, technicians will be able to view the screen and properly place the weights on the projected line,” said Greg Meyer, senior Hunter product manager. ”With the SmartSpot laser, we’re able to remove any ambiguity by automatically locating the exact spot for the quickest and easiest possible placement.”
