Page 8: Safety Requirements
1 Safety Requirements Read this manual carefully before operating the device. When working with the aligner, follow general safety rules applied to equipment with 220V supply voltage. Working without grounding is forbidden! You must not use the aligner if the power supply cable is damaged. When assembling the aligner at its workplace or when using or calibrating it, you must use a grounding socket. -
Page 9: Transporting And Assembling The Device
1.3.1 Transporting and Assembling the Device: To move the device, always use the lifting and transportation devices, for example, a fork lift. The lift must have capacity sufficient to handle the device (with its package). Make sure that your power source meets the power source requirements of the device. You can find the requirements in the 2.2 Specifications section of this manual or on the identification plate of the device itself. -
Page 10: General Description Of The Device
General Description of the Aligner iDEAL / Techno Vector 7212 wheel aligners are based on the machine’s vision system. They include cameras and high-precision image targets. The wheel aligner software processes images received from cameras and determines the target position in space with high precision. Then it uses the target positions to measure wheel angle parameters. 3D technologies provide convenience, high-speed operation, and accuracy of measurements. -

Appendix 2. Wheel Alignment Reference Here you will find descriptions of the parameters that can be measured by the wheel aligner. Toe is the difference of measurements taken at the front and rear wheel rim points in a horizontal plane. If the measurement taken at the front points is less than the measurement taken at the rear points (that is the wheels point towards the vehicle centreline), then the wheels are said to have toe-in, conversely –... - Page 80 There must be zero difference in angles when the steering is turned to the left and to the right or the difference must be within the tolerance range specified by the manufacturer (angle A). Figure 2 – Measuring toe-out-on-turns Camber If a wheel leans away from the vehicle, camber is positive (b), if wheels lean towards the vehicle camber is negative (c), when viewed from the front to the rear of the vehicle.
- Page 81 Small scrub radius stabilizes the steering. On vehicles with diagonal split brake circuits negative scrub radius stabilizes the steering when the braking forces are unbalanced on the steerable wheels. Figure 4 – Measuring SAI/KPI Caster The caster angle is measured from the vertical as viewed from the side of the vehicle. It affects the directional stability of the steering.
- Page 82 Figure 6 – Axis of symmetry Wheel Setback Wheel set-back (X) is measured at the wheels of one axle. It can be measured in linear and angular measures. Figure 7 – Measuring wheel setback Thrust Line and Thrust Angle Thrust Line for motor car is determined by the position of rear wheels of a car. Thrust Line is formed by the bisector of toe of the rear left and rear right wheel.
- Page 83 For a tandem, the angle between its thrust lines is a tandem scrub angle. This is the major parameter for tandem adjustment. Its recommended value is 0°0’. Figure 8 – Tandem scrub angle The thrust angle is positive if the axle’s thrust line is turned clockwise relative to the vehicle centerline.
