  • Page 24: Measurement References

    4 Measurement references Geometrical centre line The geometrical centre line of a vehicle is a reference line drawn through the calculated centre points of the front axle and the main driven axle. This is the standard reference used in I-track II when measuring wheel angles without performing a frame reference measurement prior to the wheel angle measurements.

  • Page 25: Component Description

    4 Component description I-track II components Measuring head The measuring head is a battery powered device for measuring toe, camber, caster, KPI and max turn angles. When aimed at the targets the measuring head sends a laser beam that scans the reflex strips on the surface of the target.
  • Page 26 4 Frame gauge extensions left and right For use on a trailer. The gauges are equipped with a numbered scale to ensure that the reflective target scales are assembled at the same position on both ends of the gauge and a spirit level to ensure that the gauges are correctly levelled.
