1970
UNITRON GEUS 
The first on-the-car balancer in the world to integrate in a single piece (hence  the name UNITRON) the spinning motor  and the measurement unit with the indication of unbalance.

Completely electronic, thousands of pieces were produced between 1970 and 1980 for our customers.
Nowadays, even if technologically outdated, a lot of UNITRON are still used for their power and accuracy.

1974
SINCROLEVEL
is the first Italian electronic wheel aligner.
Design is already a key feature of FASEP products.
The SINCROLEVEL uses new Syncro sensors, a military standard product, allowing an accuracy in wheel alignment unknown till date.

1976
UNITRONIC was born to innovate.
With UNITRONIC we started to develop the FASEP Wheel Alignment System with very small sensors and a completely new approach to wheel alignment measurements. The front arm sensors disappeared, obtaining an improvement in ease-of-use and accuracy of measurement.
FASEP Alignment System invaded the market and allowed FASEP to become the first wheel alignment manufacturer in Italy.
UNITRONIC is the first FASEP product to be exported world-wide.

1981
SINCROLOGIC introduces the new digital technology in the market.
The FASEP Alignment System improves to a higher level: Total Wheel Alignment  becomes a reality for the 4-wheels-alignment measurements.
FASEP is the first company using digital microprocessor for Alignment.
Also, design is a very innovative aspect, following the tendency of Tire Shops to become a sort of  "boutique" instead of dirty workshop.
Through the experience of professional designers  FASEP will continue to design new products always searching for new solutions.

1982
With SINCROLOGIC-V FASEP looks ahead.
This is the first aligner in the world that includes an electronic Data Bank and a monitor to read wheel alignment measurements.
Another premiere in the world is represented by the printer. Initially  considered with skepticism, it became a standard component for any wheel alignment.

1983
Another novelty in the world!
VIDEOTRONIC is the first balancer equipped with a monitor.
Presented at AUTOPROMOTEC SARP-SIAC Show of Bologna, immediately gained the interest of new customers who appreciated once more our innovative ideas.
With Videotronic FASEP also introduces the SENSONIC system for the input of wheel data, a unique device patented all over the world.

1983
Another novelty in the world!
VIDEOLOGIC is the first wheel aligner with measurements displayed on a monitor.
Presented at AUTOPROMOTEC SARP-SIAC Show of Bologna, immediately gained the interest of new customers who appreciated once more our innovative ideas.

1987
The progress continues ...
VIDEOLOGIC CHROMATIC is the first Aligner in the world equipped with a Personal Computer.
Presented at AUTOPROMOTEC Show of Bologna, the level of technical innovation of this product surprises everybody.
The user can add and modify vehicles in the add and Autocalibration is present for the first time.
Also the Image Bank is a novelty in the world, another improvement for the wheel alignment.
At last, another function that will become an important support for our customers: the Customer Management System.

1989
VIDEOTRONIC 2000 is the first computer-controlled balancer.
A sophisticated system automatically position the wheel in the exact point of application of the weight: finding the point of application and correct a wrong balance become easier.
VIDEOTRONIC 2000 is also equipped with a printer and an high resolution screen.

1993
VIDEOLOGIC ATLANTIS is our second generation of wheel Aligners controlled by Computer.
Software becomes more and more important part of performances of the wheel aligner system and it is continuosly improved in a new KAIZEN philosophy.
The most important point for ATLANTIS is again design: ATLANTIS changes the concept of wheel aligner with a perfect union of utility, ergonomics and purity of lines.

1995
FASEP introduces HD (Heavy Duty) system for wheel balancers.
A new shaft and a new centering system of high precision include a lot of advantages.
The innovation of the Integrated Spring in the bell-flange for the Back-cone centering and the possibility to lock the wheel with the new  Pneu-lock system represent another sign of the technological progress of FASEP .
