Vehicle Inspection Systems Updates Makes First Major VIS-Polish Software Update to the New HR4.0

Vehicle Inspection Systems releases the first major software update to the VIS-Polish Automated Robotic Wheel Polishing Machine in five years with the new HR4.0 Version software update. The software update includes new parameters that assist in improving cycle times on the sand, cut and color processes when using the equipment to polish aluminum truck and bus wheels.

Vehicle Inspection Systems is happy to announce the launch of the first major software update for the VIS-Polish machine titled "HR4.0" in nearly five years. Version HR4.0 is an upgrade from the standard Version 3.2 installed on all VIS-Polish machines, released 5 years ago.


Product Design Manager, Stephen Withington, charged with leading the software update says, "The latest update on the VIS-Polish software was necessary to account for hardware component changes and updates, the functionality and performance of the new HR4.0 software will not differ from the previous version."

While there have been no changes made to the design and usability of the software, the HR4.0 version features new parameter changes that have been added to reduce the time it takes to run the sand, cut, and color cycles on the VIS-Polish machine, making the process more efficient.
Vehicle Inspection Systems Vice President Mark Keegans says, "The installation of the HR4.0 software and new parameter updates shows VIS commitment to providing the best wheel polishing system possible in the industry and continuing to improve the efficiency of the process."
According to Withington and Keegans, current VIS-Polish machines using existing hardware components will not be affected. "If you are currently running the Version 3.2 software with your VIS-Polish equipment, you will not need to upgrade to the new software. An upgrade may only become necessary when replacement control system hardware is required. For more details, please contact your service manager," says Withington.

The HR4.0 software will be installed and available in all 2016 VIS-Polish machines and newer. For more information on the new software, contact your VIS Regional Support Manager.
The VIS-Polish fully automated robotic wheel polishing machine continues to improve and make the process of polishing aluminum truck and bus wheels easier and more efficient. VIS-Polish service providers in the industry have the ability to polish, shine, and refurbish aluminum wheels for heavy duty vehicles consistently and safety inside the enclosed system. Installing and updating software to the VIS-Polish equipment continues to improve the efficiency of the machine and the efficiency of the wheel polishing process for those using the equipment in the trucking and heavy transportation industry.

FLIR Si1-LD - Industrial Acoustic Imaging Camera for Compressed Air Leak Detection

The FLIR Si1-LD is an easy-to-use acoustic imaging camera for locating and quantifying pressurized leaks in compressed air systems. This lightweight, one-handed camera is designed to help maintenance, manufacturing, and engineering professionals identify air leaks faster than with traditional methods. Built with a carefully constructed array of MEMS microphones for high sensitivity, the Si1-LD produces a precise acoustic image that visually displays ultrasonic information, even in loud, industrial environments. The acoustic image is overlaid in real time on a digital image, allowing you to accurately pinpoint the source of the sound, with onboard analytics which quantify the losses being incurred. The Si1-LD features a plugin that enables you to import acoustic images to FLIR Thermal Studio suite for offline editing, analysis, and advanced report creation. Field analysis and reporting can also be done using the FLIR Acoustic Camera Viewer cloud service. Transferring of images can be managed via memory stick or USB data cable. Through a regular maintenance routine, the FLIR Si1-LD can help facilities reduce their environmental impact and save money on utility bills.
