Descrption:

This new system has the same basic measurement technology as its predecessor truckaligner I. With this we mean that we start out from the geometric centerline which is moved out along the vehicle by means of self -centering frame gauges and front and rear scales. Two measurement heads are hung on each side of the axle which is to be measured and the operation is manoeuvred with a cable-free handheld unit. A unique feature with the system is that all vertical angles (camber, caster and KPI) are taken directly from the wheel with an angle sensor inside the measuring head. Another feature is that no reference point on the floor is necessary.

The great innovations with truckaligner II are as follows:

A total freedom of movement around the vehicle as the measuring unit is portable and cable-free.
Radio communication between the handheld unit and measuring heads.
Quick and efficient -the technician can measure all wheel angles without having to move around the vehicle.
A large-sized colour LCD-screen guides the operator through the process with a completely new software program, which is run using help menus, selected icons and symbols.

With truckaligner II wheel alignment is considerably simplified and at the same time the measuring process is speeded up. The workshop gains a better business volume since more vehicles can be measured. For instance, compensation for run-out of the rim can be done on both sides simultaneously and no pre-configuration of the vehicle is necessary. In other words, just before the axle is measured the operator decides whether it is a steering or non-steering axle and up to 16 axles may be added on to the same measurement.

Measurement before, during and after adjustment is of course possible and all results are shown on the LCD-screen. When adjustments are made the changing values can be seen in real time on both sides at the same time and also one can see how the different angles are influencing each other.

Moreover, an automatic compensation for an uneven floor can be acquired with help from an electronic level.

The measurement of the steering or non-steering axle is taken by following the scheme of icons and colour images that are shown on the LCD-monitor. The icons indicate which button to activate and a help menu is always available for assistance.
