MERILab and MERILab Ltd. introduce a line of innovative, custom-designed, reliable, and highly accurate axle/chassis preset machines which manifest the latest technology in today's wheel alignment industry. The axle/chassis preset machines are used to measure the suspension components of a vehicle and verify that the caster, camber, and/or toe values are within plant specifications. The machines use non-contact (NCA) laser technology to provide this information in a production or audit environment. On the production line, this equipment can also automatically or semi-automatically adjust the camber, caster, and toe.

The benefits of using a MERILab axle/chassis preset machine include:

•  Ability to measure and quickly adjust camber and caster to high final accuracy
•  Preset of toe expedites final toe set
•  Automated Windows(r)-based displays prompt and instruct the operator to perform adjustments
•  Ability to tune alignment preset to in-vehicle conditions
•  Data can be easily analyzed

In addition, the preset machine can be connected to the optional DataWeb system so that the data can be compared to that from wheel aligners and audit machines, be transmitted to MERILab for analysis, and be compiled in reports for management and plant use.
