    This document describes an axle alignment system from Manatec that uses camera and sensor technology to measure and set the toe angle of vehicle axles on an assembly line. The system uses vision-based software and cameras mounted on sensor arms to measure the inclination of each wheel hub and calculate the total toe angle. It can complete the entire alignment process in 70 seconds. The system provides accurate measurements, compact design for the assembly line, and generates reports for quality control. It also has an optional capability to measure lock or max turn angles.

    MANATEC'S AXLE ALIGNMENT SYSTEMS
    An Axle Alignment System is meant for setting
    the Total Toe of an Axle in the Axle assembly line.

    The system adapts the latest Camera technology


    on both sides with specially designed sensor arm
    hubadapters for Axles on the move in a conveyor.
    The combination of camera and IR LED deployed
    on either side of the sensor arm hubadaptor,
    is used by the Proprietary Vision based soft ware
    to derive the angle of inclination of the respective
    wheel hub in relation to the geometric center
    line of the axle. A total cycle time (takt time)
    of 70 seconds is all it takes to complete the entire
    process.

    The camera IR technology used by Manatec is


    capable of providing accurate result of Toe with
    the help of High precision cameras in the
    shortest possible time. Customized Toe setting
    software along with Data management software
    are exclusively developed to suit vehicle
    manufacturer's requirement.

    MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE
    The camera hub adaptors should be
    mounted on respective sides (LH & RH) of
    the axle & the software will guide the user to
    acheive the horizontability of the Camera
    hub adaptors, to set the straight ahead
    position first and then rotate the hub
    adaptors by 180 degree to compensate the
    static errors. The measurements will be
    taken in both front & rear side of the axles.
    The system will measure individual toe of
    each axle hub independent of the distance
    between the axle hubs.

    The inclinometer is also provided to measure


    the axle inclination for camber compensation
    with all these data. The proprietary software
    computes everything internally and displays
    relevant results like Straight Ahead,
    Individual Toe, Total Toe and Camber.

    to extreme right & adjust the lock angle bolt.

    SYSTEM CALIBRATION

    The Camera hub adaptors & inclinometers


    can be calibrated periodically to ensure
    accuracy of the measurements. Our user
    friendly software guides the user to successfully
    perform the calibration.
    CHARGING UNIT

    A battery charging unit is provided to charge the camera


    hub adaptors and inclinometers during idle condition.
    The unit also has provision for charging the spare
    batteries.

    SECONDARY MONITOR DATA MANAGER

    Data manager software for storing Axle


    Additional 32” monitor is provided alignment results with reference to Axle ID /
    Date for future reference.
    for better visibility

    BARCODE READER & PRINTER


    A Bar code reader is provided for scanning axle information which is
    used for quick and easy retrieval of specification from the stored
    database.
    Measurement results can be printed as a Barcode & pasted over
    the respective Axle.
