Alignment can be started from the V2280’s home screen, where the vehicle selection process has been improved with a model search capability. Wheel rims from 11in to 22in can be worked on without adaptors and without removing hubcaps thanks to new lightweight wheel clamps. The height of the beam is set via automatic tracking, and its cameras move automatically up and down following the targets. www.johnbean.com/en-gb/wheel-aligners/v2280 Autogem unveils I-sensor Pro TPMS device Autogem has released a new TPMS handheld device.
