CCD Wheel Alignment Purchase Guide
When planning to purchase a wheel Alignment Machine, you may encounter terms like 3D and CCD. But how exactly do these high-tech devices differ from traditional laser wheel alignments? Let's get straight to the point and take a closer look at CCD wheel alignments—their differences compared to laser and 3D wheel alignments.
CCD Wheel Alignment: Principle and Functional Analysis
CCD stands for Charged Coupled Device. Unlike traditional laser alignment systems, which use light beams, CCD models utilize advanced camera technology, enabling precise alignment within seconds.
From a user perspective, their operating principle is similar to that of a Laser Wheel Alignment: four measuring heads (one for each wheel) are quickly and easily clamped to the wheel hub surface.
CCD wheel alignments are not new—in fact, they have been around since the early 1990s. Their popularity has increased significantly since then. Why? They offer several significant advantages over laser systems...
Advantages of CCD Wheel Alignment
• While laser wheel alignments can produce good results, they are time-consuming and labor-intensive to operate. Basic laser systems can only measure front wheel alignment, requiring manual rotation of the laser to inspect rear wheels. Camber and caster angles also require additional manual measuring tools. These issues are eliminated with BATTLE-AXE CCD wheel alignment systems.
• Accuracy: Similar to 3D wheel alignment systems, CCD systems offer exceptional accuracy that traditional laser systems cannot match. If you have stringent tire alignment requirements, CCD systems are a worthwhile investment. CCD technology dates back to the 1990s, and few manufacturers maintain this technology. Currently, the BATTLE-AXE wheel alignment system is the most accurate in the industry and is used in a wide range of scenarios.
• Speed: Of the three technologies, CCD wheel alignment is undoubtedly the fastest and easiest. A skilled operator can complete system startup and sensor installation in under five minutes.
• Flexibility: Unlike most systems, CCD wheel alignment systems are portable and adaptable to any lift. They can be easily moved when not in use, allowing for field rescue work or rapid transfer between lifts as needed. Many 3D wheel aligners must be fixed in front of the lift.
When 3D is taking over global wheel alignment machine market. CCD type is still not replaceble because of its longer available wheelbase compatitability, much less installation space and so on. BATTLE-AXE is now known the best CCD wheel aligner machine factroy in the world. For consultance please kindly contact Frank +8615917290902(wechat and whatsapp)
