Robinair, a Bosch Automotive Service Solutions brand

Technicians can sign up now at Robinair.com/MACS2018 or at the 2018 MACS show in Orlando.

After the 90-minute webinar, technicians can become Section 609 certified to work on vehicles using R-12, R-134a and R-1234yf refrigerant when they take and successfully pass the online test.

Technicians can help celebrate the 60th anniversary by sharing photos of their vintage Robinair tools or equipment throughout the summer for the opportunity to randomly win tools and other prizes.

After the webinar, techs can become Section 609 certified to work on vehicles using R-12, R-134a and R-1234yf refrigerant after passing the written test.

Robinair is partnering with the Mobile Air Conditioning Society (MACS) Worldwide to provide a free Section 609 test prep webinar for training and certification for up to 100 technicians on Wednesday, May 6, at 4 p.m. EST. The webinar will take approximately 90 minutes. Technicians can become Section 609 certified to work on vehicles using

Ensure vehicle systems are charged with the correct amount of oil and refrigerant, per factory and OEM specifications.

Robinair's two new connected A/C recovery machines — 34998 and AC1234-9 — will provide technicians with new and improved A/C service capabilities and accuracy when diagnosing or recharging standard or hybrid vehicle systems.

Robinair has released its new R-ID (#16990) and R-ID Plus (#16995) refrigerant analyzers, which allow technicians to quickly and accurately determine the refrigerant purity of a vehicle’s A/C system. The R-ID and R-ID Plus refrigerant analyzers are designed for use on vehicles with either R-134a or the newer R-1234yf refrigerant.

The Robinair AC1234-6 was the first commercially available fully automatic R1234YF machine to meet the SAE’s requirement for recovering, recycling and recharging vehicle A/C systems with the new refrigerant.

The 34888HD R134a machine is engineered to save time in the shop with fully automatic operation and a removable tank for larger A/C systems typically found in buses.

The leak detectors, LD3, LD5 and LD7, meet all industry standards and are now available in North America to help technicians find leaks faster.

Robinair’s Refrigerant Identifier Plus (16910) provides a fast, easy and accurate means to determine refrigerant purity in refrigerant storage cylinders or directly in vehicle air conditioning systems.

The databases were developed to provide the most up-to-date information available. The updates ensure the vehicle system is charged with the proper amount of oil and refrigerant, per factory and OEM specifications.

Equipped with an automatic calibration and the ability to reset to ambient, the new leak detectors include three adjustable sensitivity levels and a low battery indicator.

Technicians can set the 34888HD and walk away as it recovers, evacuates, leak tests, recharges and drains and injects oil back into the system.

Equipped with an integrated refrigerant identifier, AC1234-4 samples refrigerant prior to recovery and features a system leak test to identify gross leaks.

The machine recovers, recycles, evacuates and recharges R-134A mobile A/C systems, covering most of today’s passenger vehicles.

Robinair introduces the new 34988NI Premium A/C Recovery Machine to its automotive product lineup to save technician time and increase efficiencies in the shop.

The leak detector features an advanced infrared sensor that is designed to last a minimum of 10 years, three sensitivity levels down to 0.15 oz./year and an 8-hour lithium ion battery lasts all day long.

These machines feature the same enclosure currently being used in Robinair’s new AC1234-6 YF recovery machine, which allows for a tighter packaging of all interior components to reduce the machine’s footprint while adding new features, more memory and flash storage for vehicle info.

The machines will show improvements in recovery and charge performance for faster and more accurate service on all vehicles, according to the company. Both feature an automatic recovery cycle to save technician downtime. The flexibility of the new enclosure also allows for the addition of optional equipment such as a refrigerant identifier or printer.
