Laser AM heavy vehicle wheel aligner

Accurate measuring system for wheels, axles and frames
When the driver steers the truck straight ahead, they assume that the wheels and chassis will roll straight ahead.

The driver controls the front wheels and decides on their direction. But the rest of the wheels can be rolling in another direction if the axles are not correctly positioned in relation to the longitudinal center line of the truck or if the axles are bent. It doesn’t have to be a big displacement of the axle to cause a noticable effect.

If, for example, one wheel rolls 5 mm per meter to the right and the other wheel rolls 5 mm per metre to the left, the wheels will diverge from each other 10 metres per kilometre.

This means that the truck rolls with resistance, which increases tyre wear and fuel consumption. So it costs your business money driving around with incorrect wheel geometry and axle positions. It is especially important for traffic safety that trucks with trailers have parallel rolling wheels. Everyone who has driven behind a truck or bus knows that very often they take up more room than the maximum allowed vehicle width.

JOSAM laser AM heavy vehicle wheel aligner is a way to increase traffic safety and driving economy. It is THE system for reliably measuring axle positions and for wheel alignment. All the wheel angles can be simply and easily checked.

Measurement and adjustment with JOSAM laser AM heavy vehicle wheel aligner results in a balanced carriage where wheels, axles and chassis are rolling in the same direction. For the workshop, this system is the perfect tool for expanded level of service. It is easy to use, calibrate and maintain. The alignment process is also speeded up. The results are accurate and with good repeatability. Moreover, any frame distortion can be diagnosed.
