Coats, a leading innovator in smart repair solutions, has announced the launch of the Coats CWA6000 3D Wheel Aligner. Designed to complement the advanced CWA6500, the CWA6000 offers an accessible, entry-level solution tailored for shops looking to expand their capabilities with alignment services.
The CWA6000 is built with Coats’ commitment to durability, ease of use, and serviceability. It provides all the essential tools for accurate wheel alignment, including standard clamps, a brake pedal depressor, a steering wheel holder, wheel chocks, and Black Diamond Mini Targets. Its compact design makes it a perfect fit for shops with limited space, while its intuitive software simplifies operation, making precision alignments achievable for shops new to alignment services.
CWA6000 vs. CWA6500: Choosing the Right Aligner for Your Shop
The CWA6000 is designed for small, budget-conscious shops that need a simple yet effective alignment solution. It provides precise and detailed alignment measurements and a user-friendly interface, but without the premium features of the CWA6500, which is built for high-volume shops specializing in advanced alignments.
Key differences include:
- CWA6500 features QC20 Tire Gripping Clamps, a VIN scanner, a motorized auto tracking camera beam, and a built-in printer for seamless alignment processes, making it ideal for luxury and high-performance vehicles.
- CWA6000 offers a manual control power camera beam, a stationary LCD monitor, and essential alignment tools, providing an efficient and cost-effective solution for shops entering the alignment market.
"We wanted to create an aligner that allows any shop, regardless of size or budget, to offer professional-grade alignments," said Kyle Harris, Senior Product Manager at Coats. "The CWA6000 delivers the precision and reliability Coats is known for, in a format that makes sense for smaller businesses."
Just like the CWA6500, the CWA6000 is equipped with powerful software features designed to streamline the alignment process and improve efficiency. Toe Plus Technology simplifies toe adjustments, eliminating the need for a steering wheel lock, while Quick Sweep allows for fast and accurate caster measurement. The system offers two measurement modes—Standard Mode for a guided step-by-step process and Quick Measurement Mode for rapid compensation and instant inspection reports. With five different compensation methods, technicians can easily work on a variety of vehicles, including heavy-duty models.
"With the CWA6000, we're making alignment services more accessible,” said Ben Pryor, Vice President of Commercial at Coats. “This system provides everything a shop needs to get started while allowing them to scale up to the CWA6500 as their business grows."
