Increased air resistance Increased tire wear

 Bad wheel alignment will
ruin your customer’s economy!
A properly aligned vehicle can reduce fuel consumption costs by up to
5%. Bad wheel alignment also increases tire wear. A wheel alignment
diagnosis gives you the opportunity to plan ahead. With the help of the
wheel angle measurements from a diagnosis, necessary adjustments
can be made and you can avoid unnecessarily high fuel consumption and
tire wear costs.

center line of the vehicle as reference, the following wheel
angles can be measured:

• toe, steering box position, camber, out of square,

parallelism and axle offset
• caster, KPI, Toe Out On Turns and max turn

Enabled by the unique rolling method, toe and camber

measurements may be taken while the vehicle is in driving
position. No lifting of the axles with run-out compensation
is required, alternatively the system can also
be operated with standard run-out procedure.
 Wireless communication between
the camera and the PC software.

Why wheel alignment?

By measuring and adjusting wheel angles on a vehicle, fuel costs
and tire wear are reduced. At the same time comfort, security
and running characteristics are improved. This leads to a better
economy and environment for everyone. It also means that the
vehicle travels on the highway without taking up as much space
as an incorrectly aligned vehicle would.

Measurement principle and Measuring caster, KPI and

scalability turnangles
This measurement is based on a single continuous
movement of the wheels, from a straight ahead position to
maximum left, via maximum right and back to the starting
position.

During this procedure the built-in gyroscope and inclino­

meter are constantly transmitting data to the computer,
which calculates the caster, KPI and turn angles in different
wheel positions. The entire process can be carried out in a
matter of minutes.

The Volvo Group wheel alignment system uses the

centerline principle to determine the position of axles and
individual wheels in relation to the centerline of the vehicle.

The system is designed to measure wheel angles on

commercial vehicles such as trucks, trailers, buses and light
commercial vehicles.
 The rolling method
The measuring is carried out as the vehicle stands on the The axle offset value together with out of square is also

during and after rolling, without the need for any run-out
compensation. Toe and camber values will be displayed
auto­matically and adjustments can be made if needed.
