Hunter HawkEye Elite® Xpandable (HAWKELITEX) Wheel Alignment Machine with ADASLink®

Hunter HawkEye Elite® Xpandable Wheel Alignment Machine – HAWKELITEX

The Hunter HawkEye Elite® Xpandable (HAWKELITEX) is a fully featured premium wheel aligner designed to expand into Hunter's Ultimate ADAS® system for static ADAS calibrations whenever your shop is ready. It captures alignment measurements in 70 seconds with pinpoint accuracy. The ADASLink® diagnostic scan tool comes standard, with secure gateway access for dynamic calibrations. Shops can start earning alignment ROI from day one and grow into the ADAS market at their own pace. It is designed and built in the USA by Hunter Engineering Company.

Alignment now, static ADAS later

The HAWKELITEX is built to upgrade directly to Hunter's Ultimate ADAS® all-in-one alignment and ADAS calibration machine. The upgrade path:

1. HawkEye Elite® X: keep the camera sensors, console, and ADASLink® scan tool
2. Ultimate ADAS® Upgrade Package: add the calibration fixture, which includes the target rail and boards, laser gimbals, remote floor stand, and target board storage system
3. Ultimate ADAS®: a complete alignment and laser-guided static ADAS calibration machine
