I. DESCRIPTION
TECHNOVECTOR WHEEL ALIGNERS WITH 3D AND WIDESCOPE TECHNOLOGIES
- TechnoVector 3D is a new generation of wheel aligners that includes all the latest innovations and technologies.
- Machine vision system includes 2 or 4 cameras.
- The key advantage is the WideScope technology which is unique in the world.
- Thanks to WideScope the operational range of the heights f the lift is twice as big as that of similar wheel aligners produced by other manufacturers.
- Measurements can be performed at the floor level*.
- Techno Vector 3D wheel aligners are designed to take measurements and make adjustments on steerable and unsteerable axles of cars and can be installed in automotive companies, tire shops, car service stations, automotive manufacturing plants, diagnostic centers.
- The wheel aligner performs measurements by observing high-precision image targets, that are placed on the vehicle. It calculates their precise positions in 3D space and using simple procedures, such as compensation and measurement, calculates all the wheel alignment angles.

VI. Widescope
Key features of the WideScope technology :
- The range of working heights of the lift is up to twice as much as similar wheel aligners of other companies.
The 4-camera wheel aligner makes it possible to take measurements and make adjustments on the lift from the alignment height (1700 mm) to the floor level without using any camera displacement mechanisms, stairs and stands.
The 2-camera wheel aligner makes it possible to take measurements and make adjustments on the lift in the range of lift heights of 900-1700* mm from the floor level.
- Minimum distance (from 1200 mm) from camera units to the lift or pit in comparison to similar wheel aligners of other companies.
Minimum requirements for the size of the workshop - 6550 mm.
- Long-range capability video camera housings can be installed at a long distance. It is especially important for wall-mount configurations when the wall is far from the workplace (3-4 meters).
- Operation can be carried out even when the target image is partially closed or damaged!
* depends on the distance of the camera housing placement

Multiple settings allow to fine tune the behaviour of the softwares interface. Possible options include:
Print-out setup allows to select one of two templates and to set up texts and logos as well as several other useful options
Automatic transitions are available where possible. For example, the software automatically detects when the compensation starts and proceeds to the next step.
The user can select default modes for compensation, measurement or adjustment
Several other fine-tuning for adjustment, compensation and measurement modes
