The BW 1408 RoTWIN is Romess's premium category, mobile brake force measuring system, specifically developed for fast, accurate, and reliable testing of vehicle brake systems. This equipment is an ideal choice for service centers, technical inspection stations, and fleet managers who wish to meet the highest safety and performance requirements. The integration of RoTWIN technology guarantees compatibility with modern vehicles and efficient operation.
The BW 1408 RoTWIN is an extremely flexible and easy-to-use measuring station that performs brake force measurement on the vehicle's own axle, thereby minimizing the influence of external factors and increasing the credibility of the measurement results. The RoTWIN (Roll-Over-Test-Wheel) principle overcomes the limitations of traditional roller brake testers, enabling measurements close to real-world conditions.
Main Advantages:
Mobile and Flexible: Thanks to its easily movable design, it can be used almost anywhere, making it ideal for technical inspection lines or workshops.
High Accuracy: The measurement procedure developed by Romess guarantees extremely precise and repeatable results.
Wide Vehicle Compatibility: Optimized for testing the brake systems of passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, and certain heavy-duty trucks.
Integrated Data Management: The RoTWIN system enables digital recording and evaluation of data, facilitating quick diagnostics and documentation.
The BW 1408 RoTWIN features extremely robust and precise technical parameters that ensure long-term, reliable operation.

The BW 1408 RoTWIN uses the RoTWIN technology patented by Romess, which represents a significant advancement compared to traditional brake testers.
Real-World Load: Since the measurement uses the vehicle's own weight as the load, the braking force measurement reflects real driving conditions much better than with fixed-load roller testers. This is especially important for modern vehicles equipped with ABS and ESP systems.
No Slip: The RoTWIN system minimizes the slip between the wheel and the measuring surface, resulting in more accurate torque transfer and thus more accurate braking force measurement.
Egyszerű Telepítés: Thanks to the mobile design, no fixed installation is required. The system can simply be placed in front of the wheel to be tested, and the vehicle is rolled onto the measuring surface.
Balanced Measurement: The system is capable of measuring the difference between the left and right braking forces, as well as symmetry, which is crucial for vehicle stability.
The BW 1408 RoTWIN features a user-friendly interface that simplifies daily work in the workshop.
Measurement data can be displayed on the built-in digital display or – for maximum functionality – connected to an external computer using the dedicated Romess software.
Data Processing: The software automatically evaluates the measured values based on relevant national and international standards (e.g., TÜV, Dekra requirements).
Report generation: Possibility to generate detailed, printable or digitally archivable measurement reports that include brake force values, symmetry, and the identification data of the tested vehicle.
Diagnostic Support: The system is capable of testing the performance of the service brake, parking brake, and emergency brake.
The BW 1408 RoTWIN can be excellently integrated with other Romess diagnostic tools, such as brake fluid testers (Aqua 10, Aqua 12 Digi, BFS), allowing for a comprehensive brake system check within a single workflow. Checking the quality of the brake fluid can be done immediately after measuring the brake force, thus optimizing service time.
The BW 1408 RoTWIN is an ideal choice for the following areas:
Vehicle Inspection Stations: Performing fast and standardized brake tests.
Car Service Centers: Fault diagnosis and post-repair inspection of the brake system.
Fleet Management: Maintaining the safety of vehicle fleets as part of regular maintenance protocols.
Tire Services: Brake force check during wheel replacement or wheel alignment.
The Romess BW 1408 RoTWIN is not just a measuring device, but a complete solution for the reliable and efficient inspection of modern brake systems, ensuring maximum safety on the roads.
