Rotary Announces New Line of Fully Automatic Air Conditioning Recharging Machines Powered ­by TEXA™

MADISON, IN, December 6, 2022 — Rotary, part of Vehicle Service Group^SM (VSG), a Dover company, is excited to announce the launch of its groundbreaking new line of fully automatic air conditioning diagnostic and recharging equipment through Rotary’s recently announced partnership with TEXA.

Unveiled for the first time at the recent 2022 SEMA Show, the new Rotary product line provides North American automotive service professionals with a quick, efficient and cost-effective way to recover, recycle and recharge R134a and R1234yf refrigerant gases.

There are three models launching in spring of 2023:

• The single-gas R3AC50-A (R134a refrigerant compatible)
• The single-gas R3AC60-YF (R1234yf refrigerant compatible)
• The industry-leading dual-gas R3AC80-AYF (both R134a and R1234yf compatible) that automatically purges between gas changes

“These A/C machines, coupled with Rotary’s unparalleled service and support network, are an absolute game-changer,” said Ian Wendler, Vice President & General Manager for VSG Americas. “We look forward to hitting the market this spring with a product that will increase the amount of work shops can perform – and revenue that can be obtained – as we head into the busy A/C season.”

“Based on the high level of excitement and interest that was generated during their debut and demonstration at this year’s SEMA show, it’s clear we have something that automotive service professionals will want to get their hands on sooner rather than later,” Wendler added.

Focused on productivity with super-fast process times, vehicle data updates and superior up-time, the Rotary A/C machines make it possible for service centers to charge more vehicles per year. Each machine can update automatically, receive remote assistance and connect to other devices, such as printers and smartphones. The new product line is also backed by Rotary’s vast service network and industry-leading warranty.

Rotary is currently accepting preorders for Spring 2023 delivery. For more information on how Rotary A/C repair solutions can put more money in your pocket, visit Rotarylift.com/ACCart.

MADISON, IN, October 31, 2022 — Rotary, part of Vehicle Service Group^SM (VSG), a Dover company, is pleased to announce a new partnership with TEXA, a global leader in the design, development and production of diagnostic tools for the vehicle repair industry.

Rotary Debuts New Mobile Advanced Driver Assistance System at the 2022 SEMA Show

Visit Booth #36017 to see the new mobile ADAS up close

MADISON, IN, October 31, 2022 — Rotary, part of Vehicle Service Group^SM (VSG), a Dover company, will showcase its new mobile Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) solution this week as part of its “Serving the Shop” initiative at the 2022 SEMA Show in Las Vegas, Nov. 1-4. Rotary will display the new system at Booth #36017 in the Upper South Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.

The new calibration system is powered by TEXA, a global leader in the design, development and production of multibrand diagnostic tools, exhaust gas analyzers, air conditioning recharge stations and telediagnostic devices.

“We are invested in providing our partners, customers and the industry with the most comprehensive set of shop solutions on the market,” said Ian Wendler, Vice President & General Manager for VSG Americas. “Our partnership with TEXA is the beginning of Rotary’s expanded ADAS offering and provides a unique solution to service, repair and calibrate today’s complex vehicles.”

The mobile ADAS solution offers repair service professionals a quick and cost-efficient way to recalibrate cameras, radars, LIDARs and sensors when replacement is required and additional measures are necessary that affect them – such as replacing the windshield and bumper, repairing suspensions, aligning wheels, changing tires and replacing the engine control unit. Providing shop owners and technicians with new and enhanced products highlights Rotary’s commitment to “Serving the Shop” as an industry leader in vehicle service and repair.

“As automobiles continue to evolve with more advanced ADAS technology, so has TEXA’s capacity to develop some of the industry’s most dependable calibration tools for ADAS repair,” said Bruno Vianello, Founder and President of the TEXA Group. “We’re excited to partner with Rotary to offer a mobile ADAS that will help technicians fine-tune these advanced systems more accurately, safely and faster.”

The system helps technicians perform static and dynamic calibrations and reset the ADAS correctly, making it ideal for automotive repair and service shops that need to complete a wide variety of aftermarket ADAS calibrations. Continuously updated software guides technicians step-by-step through each phase of calibration and replacement, which allows for exceptional coverage of new and late model cars and trucks.

“This is the first product to come out of our recently announced partnership,” said Dario Peruch, President and Managing Director of TEXA USA. “It’s exactly what you’d expect to see from Rotary, one of the longest-standing premier automotive service brands and a high-tech automotive diagnostic tool provider – a product that’s advanced enough to handle the demands of new model vehicles yet can easily integrate into any work area within a repair shop.”

Compared to other ADAS systems, Rotary’s uses less space and does not have to be installed in a dedicated service bay. It can be easily transported to other work areas, such as an alignment bay. This offers customers the flexibility needed to allocate labor more efficiently, saving time and money in the process. The focus on providing new and more flexible ADAS solutions to shop owners is all part of Rotary’s commitment to “Serving the Shop.”

At the SEMA Show, Rotary’s product experts will provide a detailed overview of the new mobile ADAS from 11:00-11:15 a.m. on Tuesday, November 1. To sign up to attend the event, visit rotarylift.com/sema-2022
