Wheel alignment for commercial vehicles
Wheel alignment for commercial vehicles with an axle load of up to ten tons with the wheel alignment stand x-wheel truck d.
Wheel alignment for commercial vehicles in high precision
Trucks and buses with an axle load of up to ten tons represent special challenges to the testing system. With the wheel alignment stand x-wheel truck d Dürr has set new standards in terms of measurement and adjustment of the wheel geometry. Well-known manufacturers like Volvo Trucks, Tata, DAF, Leyland, Ford, FAW, Dongfeng, Iveco, Ashok Leyland, MAN, Geely, Kenworth, Peterbilt, Renault Trucks and Daimler Trucks rely on that and benefit from the great advantages of this test stand regarding quality, flexibility and cycle time.
Measurement system x-3Dsurface
This globally unique system features automatic non-contact 3D measuring technology that can accommodate great variety in the number and position of axles and does not require any adaptation to measuring devices on tires and frames.
This allows us to measure chassis parameters such as toe and camber at any time in a reproducible way.
Using the accompanying calibration gage, the measuring system and the additional systems such as the headlamp setting system can be verified at any time by our customers and validated for internal quality inspections.
The wheels are on turntables during the setting-up process to ensure that it is as stress-free as possible. The nominal values specified by the manufacturer are taken into account.
ECU communication
The x-tronic balancer steering wheel balancer is responsible for communicating with the control units (e.g. to calibrate steering angle sensors). The x-line software developed by Dürr automates and visualizes the adjustment process.
Additional advantage
The modular design of the system allows an x-light truck to be integrated for setting the headlamps.
The vehicle parameters measured by the wheel alignment stand, such as the linear motion track and the position of the truck are taken into account during the headlamp setting process.
In addition to integrating the headlamp setting process, the x-DASalign truck makes it possible to modularly integrate calibration tools for a variety of sensors used by the driver assistance systems into the test stand.
The positioning system of the x-light truck can also be used, if it is available, or, if necessary, it can be extended.
Wheel alignment also for vans and minibuses
With the wheel alignment stand x-wheel Dürr has set new standards in terms of measurement and adjustment of the wheel geometry not only for passenger cars but also for vans and minibuses. Even with an axle load of two to three tons the wheel alignment stand x-wheel meets all high quality standards of our customers worldwide since many years. Therefore, we have adapted the wheel alignment stand to the special requirements of the spectrum of vans and minibuses with special components such as e.g. wider floating plates with higher load capacity, wider lanes and a modified wheelbase adjustment in order to satisfy the wider wheelbases and track widths as well as higher vehicle weights.
x-wheel extension components
