Hunter Highlights Vol. 116

Undercar service technicians often find themselves working in a shadow and requiring an additional light source. Hunter’s AlignLights lift lighting accessory can eliminate this problem by providing permanent under-vehicle illumination.

For efficiency, the AlignLights system automatically switches on when the rack is raised and off when the rack is lowered. The lights are powered by the main lift rack power source and require no additional electrical cords.

The AlignLights accessory is available on Hunter RX series alignment racks as an installed option or can be retrofitted to most previously installed RX racks.

The Salvagnini Performer folding machine, recently installed at Hunter’s metal fabrication plant in Raymond, Mississippi, is an example of the type of high-end CNC technology that Hunter employs for production efficiency and quality. The Performer is a CNC metal folding machine that delivers tight tolerances and highly accurate bends that are consistent throughout the production run. In addition to lowering overall production costs, CNC technology allows much more complicated bends and ultimately better designed components than could be achieved through manual methods.

Electronics boxes, cabinet parts and other components are produced with fully automatic, high-speed computer controlled movements that eliminate the potential for human error. Flat part blanks are folded into complex shapes in seconds, ready to be coated and sent to assembly.
