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:
See the website for our full range of products
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.
Our National Service Division
Our directly employed network of UKAS & GEA accredited engineers
are on hand to provide routine maintenance to keep your investment
in the best working condition.
With this experienced and dedicated team, the John Bean brand
has an unparalleled reputation for providing the highest quality,
excellent value and great service.

VISUALINER PRISM ELITE 42 - EEWAEU557BE1
Introducing the Visualiner Prism Elite 42. Accurate, flexible, easy to
service. Do alignments quickly from virtually anywhere in your shop.
Reduce the time required to perform corrective actions and rely
on advanced, lightweight components that are designed with the
technician in mind.
PRO 42 is a high-resolution ICON based software program designed
to provide the most effective use of information required by
the technician. It has ALL the required functions in a one-touch
program format to allow the technician to provide accurate and fast
alignments. With its unique DIAGNOSTIC information it allows the
technician to easily understand vehicle problems.
Rolling run-out compensation of the vehicle
With this software feature it is possible to perform run-out
compensation without jacking up the vehicle. It is only necessary to
roll the vehicle back and forth.
Owing to this feature there is no need for changing vehicle height so
that the analysis of measured data is absolutely clear to the operator.
It is also possible to perform a four-wheel split position run-out
compensation if the vehicle being measured is too long for the rack.
Te c h n i c a l S p e c i f i c a t i o n
Measurement of vehicle dimensions
This feature allows to measure set-back on front and rear as well as
the wheel base. Wheel track difference of front and rear axles is also
measured, the result is read out as axle offset. Those quick diagnostic
features are an optimum supplement for customer services.
