FWA 4630

In independent workshops and tyre service centers, wheel alignment is often offered as a service for the purpose of customer binding. In many cases, a tyre change is sufficient reason for wheel alignment. This can be done at the same time without high additional costs. Adjustment and repair work resulting from wheel alignment ensures traditional turnover in the workshop.

In focus with the new FWA 4630

Sort setup times, simple operation and fast results characterise the new wheel alignment system FWA 4630 from Bosch.

Drive up:

The indispensible run out compensation can now be carried out with total precision in no time at all. Following setup, you simply drive the car into the correct position. Tedious and dangerous pushing on the platform is a thing of the past.

Measure:

A new dimension in wheel alignment. The FWA 4630 represents a new generation in wheel alignment technology and offer everything that the modern workshop could desire. Fast, precise measured data acquisition of toe, camber, thrust line, axle and wheel offset and, following 20° steering routine, caster and kingpin angle.

Done:

In only seven minutes! In the shortest possible time and with the help of various measuring programs, workshops have all information related to the chassis as well as printable measured results that nowadays form the basis of a competent customer discussion.

FWA 4630: The advantages

• Set up times reduced considerably - Simple positioning of the light measurement boards and sensor heads saves you valuable time!
• Fast measurement combined with high accuracy. - Fast rolling run out compensation and consistently accurate on all four wheels simultaneously without having to the lift the vehicle.
• Competency based on precise measuring technology - The unique 3D measuring technology of FWA 4630 permits automatic, high precision measurements. High reproducibility of the results guarantees reliability and competence even in the case of repetitions.
• Designed for tough daily workshop operation - The robust and ergonomic design is geared towards practical handling in daily workshop operation right up to the finest detail.

Competence and precision

High accuracy is guaranteed right from the start through rolling run out compensation. The measurement is carried out according to 3D measuring technology using two precise CCD cameras per wheel. The integrated reference system as well as camber and inclination pendulum in each sensor head ensure reliable, reproducible measured results without complicated and error-prone calibration. Thanks to reference system, the sensor heads of the FWA 4630 do not even have to be fixed to a lifting platform.

Mobility for the complete system

Lifting platforms designed for wheel alignment simply need to be fitted with special support brackets for the sensors. This means that an FWA 4630 system can be used on more than one lifting platform in the workshop if required. It is ideal for use in a wheel alignment pit, with the sensors simply placed on the floor next to the vehicle. The reference system uses a gravitational force reference to guarantee correct results.

Robust, safe and mobile use in the workshop

• Ergonomic, bump and shockproof design with resilient plastic housing (made of extruded polypropylene): Provides safety for mechanics, vehicle and measuring technology.
• Resistant to oils and fuels.
• The sensitive sensor heads are replaced by simple measurement boards. No more need for electronics at the wheel.
• The integrated camber and inclination pendulum in every sensor head ensures an absolute reference for gravitational force and consequent high reproducibility of the measured values.
• The built-in patented reference system makes mobile use of the sensor head possible.
• Little space requirement.

A large amount of data and simple operation.

The vehicle database covers 25,000 vehicles. The User can extend it by individual vehicle specified data.

Regular updates (optional) ensure that new models are integrated quickly. Extensive setting assistances are available for correctint the steering geometry. The well laid-out user interface uses functions typical for Windows to make operation very easy.

Users can select between a guided routine before and after adjustment, a quick measurement without steering swing or random measurement for targeted testing of individual measured values.

One for all

With the correct accessories, you can now use a single wheel aligner to measure all passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. Even the standard measurement boards cover all vehicles up to a 430cm wheelbase.

The right cable set are available for every testing station

Three optional cable sets are available for the FWA 4630 depending on the existing testing station. Can be fitted in scissor lifts, four-column lifts or pits.

Clear the stage for wheel alignment

Precise installation is guaranteed by the lift fastening elements (special accessories):

• Type 1 for practically all top-floor lifts
• Type 2 for inground lifts

When placing your order for the installation of the mount, please specify the manufacturer and type and designation of your lift.
