Hunter Engineering announced the HawkEye Elite Xpandable configuration, an alignment and ADAS system that can be expanded to Hunter's Ultimate ADAS for laser-guided static calibrations. 

The Xpandable configuration is made in the United States and includes Quick Grip adapters, the WinAlign software and specs database, the ADASLink diagnostic scan tool with secure gateway ability for dynamic calibrations, pre- and post-scans, and steering system resets, as well as aligner remote viewer and control capability from anywhere in the bay. 

The HawkEye Elite X provides a scalable alignment, diagnostics, and ADAS solution. The included ADASLink scan tool allows shops to instantly begin performing dynamic resets, diagnosing trouble codes, running special tests, and coding/pairing new parts. The new configuration can be added as a seamless upgrade to Hunter's Ultimate ADAS static calibration system, which cuts target setup time by up to 70 percent.

The Elite X also offers WinAlign software, the most extensive North American vehicle information database with vehicle-specific procedures, easy bay-to-bay mobility, large storage capacity, a flat-top work surface, and a 32" widescreen monitor.

Alan Hagerty, Hunter alignment product manager, said, "HawkEye Elite X provides a scalable foundation for a profitable alignment business that includes steering system resets and dynamic calibrations today, with the option to expand into a profitable static ADAS calibrations business in the future."
