How can you improve wheel alignment accuracy?
Supertracker has updated its commercial laser alignment system to operate using green lasers. The use of green lasers is well reported to improve the visibility, precision and clarity of the laser line.
The human eye is inherently more sensitive to green light due to the photopic response, a phenomenon where the eye’s peak sensitivity falls around 555 nanometres, which coincides with the wavelength of green light. This heightened sensitivity allows green lasers to appear brighter and more visible than red lasers to the human eye.
Green lasers are also visible in a much wider range of light conditions, meaning its effective for all year round work, indoors and out as well as they can travel over longer distances. They also offer clarity and precision due to the brightness, all important factors in environments requiring pinpoint accuracy.
Supertracker has now brought this enhancement to it commercial wheel alignment system. The visibility, battery life and price of the green laser in brighter conditions is claimed to set the Supertracker STRT4 apart from its competition.
Proper wheel alignment in enhances safety, improves fuel efficiency, reduces wear on tires and mechanical components, and lowers overall operating costs. For fleet operators, investing in regular alignment checks is essential for maintaining a productive, cost-effective, and safe operation.
The STR T4 is a straightforward system for wheel alignment checks on twin steer vehicles including; heavy duty trucks, haulage trucks, tipper trucks, cement mixes, buses, fire trucks and emergency vehicles. Manufactured in the UK and supplied as standard with:
- Two laser measuring heads;
- Four wheel hangers;
- Two 2nd steer mirror heads;
- One trolley c/w battery charging system;
- Two rear Scales;
- One steering wheel lock;
- Two pairs of truck dished turn plates and bases.
Neatly stored on a stylish, manoeuvrable trolley, the complete system provides everything required for easily measuring toe and trust as standard, it can also be upgraded to measure camber and caster with the use of a digital camber caster gauge.
All wheel alignment machines are supported by a national field service aftercare support and wheel alignment sales specialists, as well as readily available parts and accessories.
