Alignment Machine
An "Alignment Machine" is a device used primarily in the automotive industry to ensure that a vehicle's wheels are properly aligned. Proper alignment helps improve tire wear, enhances fuel efficiency, and ensures better handling and safety while driving. The machine measures angles such as camber, caster, and toe, which are crucial for optimal wheel positioning.
The process typically involves placing the vehicle on a platform where sensors are attached to the wheels. These sensors communicate with the machine to provide precise measurements. Technicians then make adjustments as needed to align the wheels according to the manufacturer's specifications, ensuring the vehicle operates smoothly and safely.
