Laser Aligner AXIS200 enables measurements while in driven position. No lifting of vehicle is
required.
Measurements can be taken fast and reliable on all types of motor vehicles ( with specific
accessories provided).
In case of suspected eye injury through laser beam impact consult a ophthalmologist immediately!

Laser head is free rotatable. Ensure that laser beam output opening is
directed downward to the floor after mounting of laser heads and before
switch on of diode laser.

Upgrade kit for double steering axles Part No. 922 000 002
2 pcs. Additional turning plates 2 pcs. Laser heads with magnetic feet and grab
arms for trucks
6 passenger car adaptors, 2 measuring stands, 4 clamping arms, 2 passenger car toe scales
(1.800 – 2.880) mm
Example:
Indication right: 0
Indication left: 4 scale lines out
Turn steering wheel until both laser points point
at 2 scale lines outward(Illustration 4)
(Illustration 4)
Now the front wheels are in alignment with the frame,
seen in driving direction.
Example: Ø 10

Rim diameter 60 cm 10

2 2
Rim diameter∙ 10
In the Example, draw lines with chalk on the bottom on
the right and left-hand side 3 m in front of and behind
the laser point.
The total distance between the laser points and the
markings behind the front axle and in front of the front
axle always has to result in the rim diameter multiplied
by 10. (illustration 6). Ø 10
2
I.e. 1 long scale line on the toe scale corresponds to 1 mm.
(Illustration 6)
Example:
The laser point on the right-hand side behind the
front axle points at the 7th long outward scale line, (Illustration 8)
i.e. the front axle has a toe-in of 7 mm.(Illustration 8)
Important:
The position of the laser point on the front left-hand
side toe scale must not be changed - adjust, if
necessary! (Left front wheel at zero)
(Illustration 10)
Important:
The position of the two laser points on the magnetic
scales must change. Adjust, if necessary.
(Illustration 11)
(Illustration 13)
(Illustration 14)
(Illustration 17)
(Illustration 20)
(Illustration 21)
(Illustration 23)
Example:
The laser points at 20° at the left wheel (wheel at the
inner circle). The laser points at 17°30‟ at the right
wheel (wheel at the outer circle). The relative
steering angle at the right-hand side amounts to
2°30‟. Illustration 23
(Illustration 25)
Remark:
The rims and the magnets have to be clean.
Example:
Laser point behind right rear axle points at the first
long scale line outward; i.e. the rear axle has a toe-in
of 1 mm. (Illustration 26)
(Illustration 26)
Remark:
The value indicated of this axle mismatch is important
for further axle inclination measurements (point 6.4),
and has to be noticed for the adjustment of the scales!
Example:
Driving direction left
Magnetic scale = 0
Driving direction right
Magnetic scale = 1 long scale line outward.
I.e. axle Mismatch in relation to the frame = 5 mm to
the right.
Example:
Adjust the right magnetic scale to the value of the
axle mismatch measuring.
Left magnetic scale to 1 (illustration 28)
1/2 difference = 0.5 to the frame center line
(see table on axle mismatch. Page 46)
(Illustration 28)
7.1 Preparations
(Illustration 29)
7.2 Reading of total toe
Example:
The laser point on the right-hand side behind the
front axle points at the 7 long outward scale line, i.e.
the front axle has a toe-in of 7mm.
(Illustration 30)
Toe alignment
Important:
The position of the left-hand laser point on the front
toe scale must not be changed- adjust, if necessary!
(Left front wheel at zero)
(Illustration 31)
Example:
1 long scale line inward. Direct the laser beam to
the rear. Read the value. 1 long scale line outward.
Difference: 2mm toe in = total toe
Important:
On the left hand side the laser point must remain
permanently at zero.
Example:
6 long scale lines at the left inward from zero.
6 long scale lines at the right outward from zero.
Mismatch of second axle to first axle. (Illustration 33).
(Illustration 32)
Important:
Make sure that the „straight ahead position“ value
of the first axle is not changed when adjusting the
second connecting rod.
Check:
Take one laser measuring head from the right-hand
side of the second axle and fix it at the left-hand side
of the first axle. The value on the first axle must also
be zero.
(Illustration 33)
(Illustration 34)
Now the rear toe scale is shifted until the laser point
on the left and right-hand side indicates two long
scale lines (illustration 35).
(Illustration 35)
Note:
Make sure that the “straight ahead position“ of the
steering wheel is not changed when adjusting the
rod.
(Illustration 36)
In order to set the left wheel at a toe of zero the toe
rod is turned until the laser points both on the front
and rear left-hand side indicate identical values. For
the present example, this means one scale line
outward from zero on the front left-hand scale and one
scale line outward from zero on the rear left-hand
scale (illustration 37). In order to set the right wheel at
a toe of zero, the right toe rod has to be turned until
the laser points both on the front and rear right-hand
side also indicate identical values.
Note:
After finishing procedure, the „straight ahead
position“ must automatically be recreated.
(Illustration 37)
(Illustration 40)
Final Check:
The laser point must not move laterally
on the toe scale when turning the
wheel.
(Illustration 42)
11 Maintenance
11.1 Maintenance
Please consider that the laser measuring heads and the accessories are precision instruments.
Make sure that these instruments are used and maintained with utmost care.
The lense of the laser head can be cleaned with a dry and soft cloth,
if necessary. Do never clean with alcohol or any other liquids.
To open the battery compartment in the laser housing, (Figure 43) unscrew the black cap.
(Figure 44)
(Figure 45)
)
Open the housing on the back side by
unscrewing the four screws.. (Figure 46)
