LAUNCH                          X-631/ X-631+ Wheel Aligner                          Introduction 1-1 Introduction Thank you for using X-631/X-631+  wheel aligner manufactured by Launch Tech Co., Ltd. DefinitionX-631/X-631+ CCD wheel aligner adopts the charge coupled device (CCD) with high resolution, the clinometer with high precision and the accurate optics imaging system. X-631/X-631+ is a device designed to measure the wheel alignment parameters and compare them with the specifications provided by vehicle manufacturer. It also gives instructions to the user for performing corresponding adjustments so as to get the best steering performance and reduce tire wear. The wheel aligner compares the measured results with the original data of vehicle manufacturer and gives instruction to the user for adjustment, so its databank should contain enough information. X-631/X-631+ Wheel Aligner contains wheel alignment databank of over 10,000 vehicle types all over the world. User can also add new vehicle wheel alignment data in the databank when necessary. When Is Wheel Alignment RequiredzThe driver has to firmly hold the steering wheel to maintain a straight-ahead driving. zAbnormal wear of tires occurs, such as single side wear, concave-convexity wear and featheriness wear. zToo heavy or too light steering, or shaking at high-speed driving. zWhen the tire(s), steering knuckle or shock absorber are replaced. zWhen the vehicle is impacted. zWhen the vehicle has covered the first 3000km or 10000km. Main Vehicle Alignment ParameterThe wheel alignment mainly consists of camber, toe-in, kingpin inclination, caster, etc. They are designed mainly to improve the steering performance and driving stability of the vehicle, and reduce tire wear. Camber Camber is the leaning of the wheel inwards or outwards from the vertical.    If the road wheel leans outwards from the vertical, it has positive camber and when leaning inwards from the vertical - negative camber, looking from the front or rear of the vehicle. See Fig.1.1.    Fig.1.1  Camber is measured in degrees. Toe-in and Toe-out The toe setting is the amount by which the front or rear wheels point inwards or outwards at the front of the wheel in relation to each other (see Fig.1.2).    When the wheels point inwards they are said to toe-in. Toe-in figures are given a positive value. Conversely when the wheels point outwards they are toe-out and the figures are shown as a negative value.  Fig.1.2  The purpose of correct toe is to ensure that the wheels run parallel when the vehicle is driving. An incorrect toe setting may affect the stability and controllability of the vehicle. Kingpin Inclination (Steering Axle Inclination SAI) Kingpin Inclination (KPI or SAI) is the angle of inclination of the king pin towards the centre-line of the vehicle from the vertical (see Fig.1.3).
LAUNCH                          X-631/ X-631+ Wheel Aligner                          Introduction 1-2  Fig.1.3  Correct Kingpin Inclination can equalize the loads applied on bearings so that the life of bearings can be prolonged and the controllability of steering is improved.  Without the inclination, the controllability of the steering may be affected; further more, the vehicle weight and the ground counterforce may cause significant stress in the axle and finally damage the axle.  Correct inclination of king pin is also helpful for the vehicle to restore its straight-ahead position after steering.   Kingpin Inclination is determined when the vehicle suspension is designed. It is not service adjustable.   Caster  Caster is the tilting of the kingpin either forwards or backwards from vertical, as viewed from side of the vehicle. See Fig.1.4  Fig.1.4  When the king pin is tilted backwards from the vertical, caster is positive. When the king pin is tilted forwards, caster is negative.  Caster angle influences the directional stability of the steering. To increase the tendency of the steering to self-centre, the steering will normally be designed with positive caster. Thrust angle The thrust angle is defined according to the driven mode of vehicle. zRear wheel driven: the thrust angle equals half of the toe-in difference between the two rear wheels. As shown in Fig.1.5. zFront wheel driven: the thrust angle equals half of the toe-in difference between the two front wheels. zFour-wheel driven: the thrust angle equals half of the toe-in difference between the two front wheels plus half of the toe-in difference between the two rear wheels.  The thrust angle is defined as positive when the thrust line is towards left and negative when the line is towards right.  If the thrust angle is not zero, the vehicle will have the side-moving trend. In this case, adjust the front toe-in of the drive wheels first, and then adjust the toe-in of driven wheels.  Fig.1.5 Wheelbase Difference Wheelbase difference is defined as the angle between the joint line of the centre of two rear wheels and that of the front wheels. It is positive when distance between the centre of the right wheels is large than that of left wheels; and negative otherwise. If the tread is available from the vehicle specifications, then the wheelbase difference can be also expressed by angle. See Fig. 1.6
