Dec. 4, 2019
The fully automatic recover, recycle, and recharge machines feature Google cloud printing, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity, and more.

Robinair announced two new connected A/C recovery machines, Nos. 34998 and AC1234-9. The fully automatic recovery machines, available in December, will provide technicians with improved A/C service capabilities and accuracy when diagnosing or recharging standard or hybrid vehicle systems.

The 10.5” high-resolution touch screen on the Nos. 34998 and AC1234-9 displays more machine status and service info than previous Robinair models. In addition to video capabilities, both models are equipped with an integrated speaker so technicians can watch and listen to training videos directly on the recovery machines. The latest Robinair machines also feature Bluetooth/Wi-Fi functionality for use with A/C accessories, along with Google Cloud printing and over-the-air update capabilities for performance enhancements and vehicle system capacity database info.

The newest Robinair machines are designed to recover, vacuum, leak test, and charge an A/C system on its own, allowing technicians to simultaneously work on other projects in the shop. The 34998, for use with R-134a refrigerant vehicle systems, and AC1234-9, for systems that use R-1234YF refrigerant, meet or exceed their respective SAE J compliance standards for charge accuracy and recovery efficiency, according to the company.
