The device is designed for conducting measurements in relation to the symmetry axis of the vehicle's chassis frame which, in case of trucks, buses, trailers and semi-trailers, is a main bearing element of the chassis.
Owing to the application of laser, among others, the device is fitted to check the geometry of wheels of two- and multi-axle vehicles as well as articulated buses.
Potentiometric sensors placed on suitably shaped extension arms make it possible to measure the individual front-wheel toe-in angles for trucks and buses.
What can be measured:
Allows for the control of the following parameters of the wheels geometry:
- individual front-wheel toe-in,
- total front-wheel toe-in,
- total rear-wheel toe-in (*),
- front and rear-wheel camber angles,
- unperpendicularity angle between wheels axis and the symmetry axis of the chassis frame (*),
- wheels set-back angle (non-parallelism of axles),
- wheels' side-shift in relation to the frame's symmetry axis, (*),
- castor angles,
- king-pin inclination angles,
- toe difference angle at 20° steering lock,
- maximum steering angle.
NOTE: (*) - Only with the use of fully equipped device (standard and additional equipment
