• (4) Black Diamond Mini Targets
• VIN Scanner
• Printer
• Mobile Cabinet with Wheels
• 32" LCD Display
• Automatic Tracking Camera Beam
• Brake Pedal Depressor
• Steering Wheel Holder

Automatic Tracking Camera Beam:

The Coats CWA 6500 features an advanced motorized camera beam that automatically adjusts to the height of the vehicle during alignment procedures. This eliminates the need for technicians to manually reposition the cameras as the alignment lift is raised or lowered.

Automatic camera tracking helps streamline alignment service, reduces unnecessary setup adjustments, and provides greater flexibility when working with different vehicle heights and alignment lift configurations.

QC20 Tire Gripping Clamps – Protect Expensive Wheels:

One of the most important advantages of the Coats CWA 6500 is its innovative QC20 tire gripping clamp system. Unlike traditional wheel clamps that contact the rim, QC20 clamps grip the tire itself, helping prevent potential damage to expensive alloy, painted, and specialty wheels.

The self-centering QC20 clamps are designed for quick installation and can accommodate tire diameters from 20" to 43". Their tire-gripping design helps reduce the risk of wheel damage while simplifying setup for compatible wheel and tire assemblies.

The CWA 6500 also includes four traditional wheel clamps, giving technicians the flexibility to select the appropriate clamping method for each vehicle.

Large 32" Display and Intuitive Alignment Software:

The CWA 6500 features a large 32" LCD display that provides clear alignment measurements, visual instructions, and easy-to-read vehicle specifications. The intuitive software interface guides technicians through the alignment process and helps simplify everyday operation.

The All Measurements Screen displays front and rear alignment information together, allowing technicians to evaluate the vehicle's overall alignment condition without repeatedly switching between screens.

Toe Plus – Simplified Steering Wheel Centering:

Coats Toe Plus provides step-by-step guidance to help technicians achieve a straight steering wheel while adjusting front toe. This feature simplifies one of the most important parts of the alignment process and helps technicians complete adjustments with greater consistency.

Multiple Runout Compensation Options:

The Coats CWA 6500 provides five runout compensation options, allowing technicians to select the appropriate procedure for different vehicle configurations and alignment requirements.

This flexibility helps accommodate a wide range of service situations while supporting accurate, repeatable alignment measurements.

Mobile Cabinet for Flexible Shop Layouts:

Unlike fixed alignment systems that must remain in one location, the Coats CWA 6500 features a mobile cabinet with wheels. This allows the alignment system to be repositioned between compatible service bays as needed.

The mobile design is particularly valuable for shops looking to maximize equipment utilization, improve workflow, or expand alignment service without permanently dedicating the system to a single bay.

VIN Scanner and Printed Alignment Reports:

The included VIN scanner helps technicians quickly identify the vehicle and access the appropriate alignment specifications. This reduces manual data entry and helps ensure that the correct vehicle information is selected.

The included printer allows shops to provide customers with printed alignment reports documenting vehicle measurements and completed service. These reports help demonstrate the value of professional alignment service and provide a useful record of the vehicle's condition.

Complete Professional Alignment Package:

The Coats CWA 6500 includes the major accessories needed to perform professional wheel alignments, including QC20 tire gripping clamps, traditional wheel clamps, Black Diamond Mini Targets, a VIN scanner, printer, steering wheel holder, brake pedal depressor, and wheel chocks.

For shops building a dedicated alignment bay, the CWA 6500 can be paired with compatible alignment lifts, including Coats four-post and scissor alignment lifts. Alignment lift equipment is sold separately unless specifically included in a package.
