Title:
WHEEL ALIGNMENT INSPECTING DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3424986
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To always detect the angles of wheels related to the wheel alignment of the wheels with high accuracy regardless of the dimension of the wheels.
CONSTITUTION: The wheel alignment inspecting device is provided with sensor members 105 and 106 which are pressed against the side faces of a wheel 1 and rotate together with a wheel 11. The inclined angle of the wheel 11 (the inclinations of the toe, camber, caster, and king pin) is measured from the displacement of the members 105 and 106 during rotation. The supporting mode of the members 105 and 106 includes a mode using a Cardan suspension mechanism or another mode using a link mechanism. When the link mechanism is used, the inclinations of the toe and camber can be detected with an encoder.
