Summary
Function
zX-631 wheel aligner is the product newly developed by Launch Tech Co., Ltd., which adopts lots of new technology and
many advanced elements and devices, and has many new functions and higher measurement precision.
zThe X-631 Wheel Aligner can be used to measure the most wheel alignment parameters, such as front wheel toe-in,
front wheel camber, caster, Kingpin inclination, maximal steering angle (if equipped with electronic turntable), toe-out on
turns, rear wheel toe-in, rear wheel camber, thrust angle, wheelbase difference, tread difference, etc.
zDiversified measurement mode: common mode, special mode and fast test mode.
zThe wheel aligner can test the most of the vehicle models in the current market, even the vehicle with low chassis can
be tested by the wheel aligner via wheel clamp position-dropping devices or the position-dropping function the software
has. The maximum measurable wheelbase shouldn’t be less than 6m.
zComplete databank: wheel alignment data of over 20,000 vehicle models is stored in the system. User can also add
new data to the databank.
zNewly developed CCD signal processing technology, uninfluenced by the strong sunlight; Electronic level and
mechanical level function.
zThe wheel aligner equips with four individual probe rods, each of them contains two CCD cameras. All eight CCD
cameras are arranged as a rectangle via infrared beams.
zWireless transmission including RF transmission and Bluetooth transmission mode.
zLarge capacity (4000mAh) Lithium battery with low power consumption and dormancy mode of design. At least 500
times for charging and discharging.
zProfuse vehicle adjustment animation and HELP information; Language operating prompt function.
