This laser-assisted wheel alignment system is the most common and most widely sold system of all in our range of products.
The system is also the oldest in our catalogue but has been improved and updated over the years. It is no coincidence that it is this JOSAM equipment that has been exported to most countries around the world. It is simple, demands minimum maintenance and is manually operated. Additional software for Windows is available as a complement for calculations, data storage and printouts.
The JOSAM laser AM system for alignment of axles and wheels and also for distorted chassis is a quick and accurate system at low cost.
The PC console is mobile and comes equipped with a screen that can be raised or lowered to the desired height.
It also comes with a storage cabinet for the measuring heads as well as the computer and printer and is completely free from cables if so desired.
For the measuring heads as well as the computer and printer and is completely free from cables if so desired.
The Truckaligner wheel alignment system for commercial vehicles has been developed for the measurement and adjustment of all wheel angles on heavy vehicles and is now also available in a PC version.
It allows for a high degree of automation so that the technician can quickly and simply measure the vehicle. The quality of the alignment process can be checked step by step.
Together with turntable and Play Detector, the PC/handheld computer, measuring heads, wheel adapter, frame gauges, and target scales constitute a complete set of equipment for advanced and precise wheel alignment.
All wireless communication takes place with Bluetooth® technology.
It now comes with a completely new database management system and expanded order storage. This function, called the JOSAM homebase, makes it very simple for the user to create orders, take measurements and make reports. In the actual measuring part of the system, the JOSAM truckaligner II, there is the possibility of measuring wheel angles in a well-thought out flow of information and work on the basis of the limit values recommended by the manufacturers.
The handheld computer version is based on the Windows CE operating system and is equipped with an 8 inch LCD screen for easy reading.
This portable computer communicates with the measuring heads without the use of cables and a keyboard and printer can be added via USB connections. The powerful, rechargeable battery provides an operating time of more than 8 hours.
The handheld computer is specially designed for a tough workshop environment and can be carried around or used inside the vehicle. It is ideal for mobile measuring or in the service pit.
The equipment is approved and recommended by most truck and bus manufacturers.
The software is not only a database for handling and printing wheel alignment data from an ordinary PC.
We have eliminated the need to compensate for a manual run-out of a distorted rim.
With the measuring methods which are used with the JOSAM truckaligner 180 wheel alignment equipment for commercial vehicle a diagnosis can be carried out on a vehicle faster and more simply than before, without a reduction in precision.
The vehicle that comes in to the workplace can be diagnosed quickly and efficiently, which benefits your business and gives more work opportunities. Carrying out a diagnosis no longer needs to take much time.
Two different methods of measuring toe, out of square and parallelism
The commercial wheel alignment system can be used in two different ways. Depending on how the workplace is laid out, and what possibilities there are in the facility, the vehicle can either be rolled or lifted in order to carry out the wheel alignment.

Is it possible place target scales in the workplace for correct wheel alignment?
Yes! With the JOSAM i-track wheel alignment system for commercial vehicle a diagnosis of the alignment of a vehicle is faster and more efficient than ever before. Set aside one or more places in the workshop which are allocated for wheel alignment and perform measurement diagnoses on an assembly line basis.
The biggest difference compared to the earlier system, is that the target scales for the JOSAM i-track are mounted on the walls or the floor of the workplace. The only things that are mounted on the vehicle are the wheel adapters and the measuring heads. This means that vehicles, which earlier were difficult to measure on account of a lack of appropriate places to mount the measuring equipment, can now be measured without any problems.
Examples of vehicle types where there were earlier difficulties are buses, minibuses, and light trucks. Now one can measure these vehicles quickly, simply and with precision.
The JOSAM speedfactory is a cordless wheel measuring system, where PC software, with the help of a pulsing laser and active measuring scales, gives quick and exact measuring results to the operator. The system is intended for use by the manufacturers of trucks, trailers and buses, where one concentrates on the measurement of wheel angles which can be adjusted during production. The focus has been on developing an effective and user-friendly measuring method for toe, out of square, and parallelism between axles.
The method
The measuring method works by using the geometric centre line of the vehicle as a reference. With the help of self-centering frame gauges at the front and back of the vehicle, one easily finds this centre line.
Since the active measuring scales are placed on extensions equally far out from the centreline on each side of the vehicle, measurement references which are parallel with the centre line are established.
The software for the PC which accompanies JOSAM speedfactory has a userfriendly graphic user interface. The user is guided step by step through the work flow.
Before measuring the wheel angles, a play detector is used to ensure that all bushings and bearings are free from excess play.
This is necessary in order to determine wear and tear on wheel suspension and steering systems.
The checkup itself is carried out by driving the axles, pair by pair, over the plates. When the axle is placed onto the plates the brake is applied. The play is analyzed on the opposite side of the plate which has been set in motion, i.e. if you shake the left side the play is checked on the right side. The operator steers the movement of the plates by means of a control handle that has a built-in light as well.
One of a kind aluminum light weight tools
Finally, you can have lightweight camber/caster correction tools. These aluminum alloy tools are strong, durable, and safe to handle.
Set-up is a fast and easy one man job with our 200 ton system. No more bad backs and smashed fingers. JOSAM has reduced the weight by over 60% as compared with similar equipment.
With JOSAM´s aluminum components, assembly is hassle-free. These tools can virtually make an old man young again, and add years to the productive life cycle time of an alignment technician.
