At the Automechanika, Robinair presents its new fully automatic high-end units for trouble-free A/C service

At the Automechanika fair in Frankfurt (Germany), Robinair will first present its new AC1x34-5i and AC1234-5i A/C service units. They complete the existing high-end line. The new economical entry-level unit ACM3000yf for air conditioning systems filled with R1234yf refrigerant will also be presented. Robinair will exhibit its complete and broad range of fully automatic air-conditioning service units for straightforward and efficient A/C services at stand C20 in hall 9.

Improved performance and precision

The new AC1x34-5i and AC1234-5i A/C service units are operated fully automatically.

Combining both maintenance and repair functions in one, these units ease the workflow at the workshop. In comparison with the predecessor line, Robinair increased the performance of the new line. The release of non-condensed gases is now controlled electronically. Within short time, these units recover 99 percent of the refrigerant. Electronic pressure and temperature controls ensure refrigerant filling with a precision of charge of 15 grams. But even the dual-stage vacuum pump featuring a flow rate of 170 liters per minute is particularly powerful as well. This makes the units suitable for quick and efficient maintenance – even in case of larger air conditioning systems used in light commercial vehicles and trucks.

An independent and hermetically sealed fresh-oil injection system prevents soiling of different oils. There is even an integrated flushing program and a hose-flushing system. With all of these features, the new high-end units can be used for A/C services on vehicles with combustion engines and those with electric drives alike.

With its innovative graphical user interface, the color display supports the workshop staff concerning the operation and monitoring of the units while guiding the operator through the maintenance procedure. An optional smartphone app allows keeping an eye on the device status and the work progress from afar as well. Even the maintenance of the A/C service units is straightforward. In terms of design and structure, these units were influenced by user experiences. As a result, the access to their inner components, for example, is much easier now.

Both of these new A/C service units – that is, AC1x34-5i and AC1234-5i – feature the same basic functions as other units of the high-end line. Optionally, they can also be equipped with an integrated printer, an automatic leakage tester, possibilities to connect them to Bosch Connected Repair or the ASA network as well as device monitoring via smartphone app.

New economical entry-level unit for air conditioning systems working with R1234yf refrigerant

Besides this new line of efficient A/C service units, Robinair also presents its new automatic ACM3000yf A/C service unit for air conditioning systems filled with R1234yf refrigerant. Based on the well-proven ACM3000 entry-level unit tried and tested over many years, the new unit includes all important functions for economical and straightforward A/C services. ACM3000yf supports workshop mechanics at all required air-conditioning service tasks and performs precise refrigerant recovery, recycling and filling in a fully automatic manner. Among other details, the unit is also equipped with an automatic flushing function for non-condensed gases and an integrated oil injection bottle. A printer being available as an option can also be connected.

For more than 60 years, Robinair has been the world’s leading A/C service specialist

Founded in Warren (Michigan, USA) in 1956, Robinair soon focused on the development of A/C service units. In the 1970ies, the company launched its first unit combining refrigerant recovery, recycling and filling onto the market. By now, Robinair is a leading manufacturer of A/C service units with sales and service branch offices on all continents. Robinair also supports automotive workshops providing know-how and future-proof service equipment for the maintenance of temperature management systems of hybrid and electric vehicles or vehicles with other innovative powertrains such as e.g. fuel-cell technology. In late 2012, Robinair became a brand of the Bosch Group.
