3D Wheel Alignment Machine for Passenger Cars

The 3D Wheel Alignment System is a camera based four wheel alignment machine built for passenger cars, SUVs and light vans of every make. Instead of mechanical measuring heads, two 8-megapixel industrial cameras are mounted on the horizontal beam and read the reflective targets clamped to each wheel, so the alignment values are calculated optically and updated in real time.

Every value the technician needs for a standard alignment job is shown on one screen: total toe, camber, caster, kingpin inclination, thrust angle, setback, maximum steering angle, track width and wheelbase. The multilingual interface lets the operator switch language on the fly, and the built in vehicle specification database loads the factory reference data as soon as a vehicle is selected, together with a coverage check that shows whether the chosen vehicle and the installed software version are supported.

The whole unit is built on a mobile cabinet with four swivel casters, so it can be rolled to the vehicle bay in the workshop instead of staying fixed in one bay. Measurement accuracy is plus or minus 0.01 degree on total toe, camber, caster and thrust angle, plus or minus 0.02 degree on kingpin inclination and maximum steering angle, and plus or minus 2 mm on track width and wheelbase.

Typical users are tyre shops, quick service garages, franchised dealer workshops, body repair shops and fleet maintenance units that align passenger cars, SUVs, MPVs and light commercial vehicles on a routine basis.

1. Two 8-megapixel industrial cameras read the reflective targets on all four wheels at the same time, and the alignment values update continuously while the technician turns the steering wheel or adjusts the tie rod.

2. Measurement accuracy of plus or minus 0.01 degree on total toe, camber, caster and thrust angle, plus or minus 0.02 degree on kingpin inclination and maximum steering angle, plus or minus 2 mm on track width and wheelbase.

3. Multilingual operation interface covering the main workshop languages, so technicians of different nationalities can run the machine without retraining.

4. Built in vehicle specification database with automatic vehicle recognition, plus a coverage check that shows whether the selected vehicle and the installed software version are supported before measurement starts.

5. Mobile cabinet on four swivel casters with a fold out keyboard tray, so one machine can serve several alignment bays in the same workshop.

6. Delivered complete with two turnplates, two turnplate transition blocks, two wheel chocks, brake pedal depressor, steering wheel holder, four wheel clamps with targets, a 22-inch monitor, keyboard and mouse.
