TD4400 - AUTODRIVE
WORK-STATION FOR THE AUTOMATIC
MEASUREMENT OF THE WHEEL ANGLES OF A
VEHICLE
A
perfect quadrilateral is
built around the vehicle.
The measuring
heads initially positioned in the
corners of said quadrilateral move
automatically to the front of the
wheel targets, when the system is
started.
After
about 7 seconds, the front and rear
direct angles are measured and
visualized, such as:
toe-in, toeout, camber and thrust
angle.
A innovative
system of sensors automatically
insures the longitudinal and
transversal levelling of the lift at
any working height.
As
many as 8 measurements per second
with an accuracy of 0,005° (five
thousends of a degree) allow the
most accurate and quickest
adjustment of the vehicle.
3
different program tests are
available, to satisfy the different
needs of the customers:
-
direct
angles
-
direct
angles + "quick caster"
-
direct
angles + in direct angles
(caster, kingpin)
The
following further tests can be
added:
-
Achermann
-
maximum
steering
-
frame
diagnosis
-
toe and
caster adjustment with steered
wheels
RELIABILITY
The system
does not present functional
limits deriving from room
lightning and shape or condition of
the target/vehicle.
A special
software checks and updates
calibration at every single start of
the test.
MEASURING HEADS
The
motorised AUTODRIVE measuring heads,
installed on the lift, run a guide
along the platforms.
When not in
use, the heads position themselves
at the far end of the platforms, to
facilitate the placement of the
targets on the wheels.
Simultaneously, a self-checking
procedure is starter to constantly
grant the utmost measuring
precision.
The data
transmission between lift and
console is performed by "Bluetooth"
technology.
TARGETS
The targets
installed on the wheels do
not include any electronic
components to avoid any
problems if the targets are dropped.
Each target
is recognised by means of a bar
code, thus allowing installation on
any wheel.
QUICK
CLAMPS
The wheel
clamps supplied with AUTODRIVE are
patented and enable the installation
of the target on the wheel in a safe
and quick way.
RUN-OUT COMPENSATION
The run-out
compensation can be avoided thanks
to the way the targets are installed
and to their self-calibration.
The run-out
compensation can however be done
either "by pushing" or with "free
wheels", according to the car
manufacturer prescriptions.
SOFTWARE
The software
is developed with ".NET"
technology on Windows Vista.
3D graphics
and data bank with over 60.000
vehicles.
HARDWARE
Console with
PC, 19" TFT monitor, keyboard, B/W
laser printer laser.
