产品概述

The non-contact automotive four-wheel aligner CEMB Argos is a special equipment for measuring and adjusting the positioning of the wheels of the assembled vehicle. Through the robot, the automotive four-wheel is positioned and measured/judged, and adjusted online according to the results to ensure that the wheel positioning meets the design parameters and requirements. This positioning instrument adopts non-contact laser measurement and laser irradiation imaging processing technology, which has the characteristics of high measurement accuracy, small repeatability error and stable operation;The control part of the locator is controlled by a computer, and the processed test data is transmitted to the computer system in real time, so that the functions and test items of the system are more perfect.

In terms of measurement, Argos adopts the form of no clamp, target plate, no need to install or set any adapter on the wheel, no need to touch the vehicle, and it only takes 5 seconds to detect the front and rear axle external inclination angle and front beam data. The measurement includes real-time data such as the single wheel front beam, total front beam, outward inclination angle, inward inclination angle, backward inclination angle, propulsion angle, steering angle, steering wheel inclination angle, etc. of the entire vehicle, and is adjusted online according to the measurement.The equipment is through static measurement and adjustment, which can repeat the measurement of the front beam and tilt of the wheel, and the monitor on the control cabinet and the operator's display in the pit display the measured values in real time. Among them, the rear inclination of the main pin and the internal inclination of the main pin are measured indirectly. By turning the steering wheel left and right, the rear inclination of the main pin and the internal inclination of the main pin are calculated and displayed on the liquid crystal display.

The system adopts 4 fixed column fixed host systems and cameras (the host system and cameras are not exposed), no moving parts bring about accuracy loss, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the measurement; the equipment adopts 4 groups of 8 cameras for positioning detection. When the vehicle enters the work area, the auxiliary camera (vehicle cruise) is automatically triggered, the positioning of the vehicle on the turntable is automatically tracked and matched, and the system automatically starts the measurement.The device can automatically preselect vehicle data, and can be operated by wireless pad control to ensure convenient operation of personnel. The locator device program with automatic real-time detection function and automatic calibration technology does not require periodic calibration of the locator camera. ARGOS can be installed on any positioning lift or pit without any obstacles around the lift or wheels, providing flexible layout conditions for inspection line stations and vehicle factory offline inspection.

Working Principle

Human eye recognition is the recognition of the same object by 2 eyes, and then the analysis of the object seen by each eye to obtain the overall stereoscopic size and image of the object. Simply put, an eye recognizes an object as a plane, which is very questionable for measuring an object, and through the recognition of the same object by both eyes, and through "brain" processing, an object's "depth", that is, 3D size, can be obtained.

Argos uses the same principle: paired camera sets are in structures called “scanners”. This allows a fixed and slightly separate position calculation for each pair of cameras to define both, and an image of each scanner to calculate the depth of the object it sees. This is the most advanced "structured light three-dimensional scanning technology" in the industry at present.Using the patented structured light 3D scanning positioning technology, there is no need to compensate for the vehicle positioning process, and there is no need to brake for rear inclination measurement, which reduces the operation steps and human error in principle.

Core Strengths

■No clamps, target plates, no need to install or set any adapters on the wheels: no damage to the rim due to clamps, no measurement errors due to manual errors in clamping, and no clamping and disassembly time. ■Contactless laser measurement: without touching the vehicle, it only takes 5 seconds to detect the front and rear axle external inclination angle and front beam data, which is suitable for detecting line metronomic operation. ■Structured light 3D scanning positioning technology (patented): No personnel cart compensation, no braking (rear inclination measurement), shorter process, better repeatability. ■4 fixed column fixed mainframe systems and cameras, the mainframe systems and cameras are not exposed, and there is no loss of accuracy caused by moving parts, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the measurement. ■Four sets of 8 cameras perform positioning detection to ensure measurement accuracy and stability; high-precision digital images provide more accurate data, accurately capture small changes in each angle, and independently measure each wheel. ■Unique ultra-wide field of view, fully capture the measurement target, can perfectly measure the long wheelbase of high-end cars; digital camera flash coverage, real-time synchronization to provide dynamic data. ■Auxiliary camera (vehicle cruise) automatic trigger: the system automatically tracks and matches the position of the vehicle on the turntable when the vehicle enters the work area, and the system automatically starts the measurement.

■Fully automatic pneumatic turntable system: It can be automatically locked and loosened as needed, and the vehicle can be positioned and released with the pneumatic floating platform. ■Wireless pad control and automatic preselection of vehicle data: The device can automatically preselect vehicle data, which can be operated by wireless pad control to ensure convenient operation of personnel. ■Automatic real-time detection and automatic calibration: The equipment has a patented automatic calibration technology to ensure the stability of the measurement and effectively adapt to the impact of day and night and seasonal temperature changes on the platform and equipment; there is no need to do regular calibration of the positioner camera. ■Measurement can be done on a low platform: The device can be measured on a low platform, can be installed on any positioning lift or pit, and there is no obstacle around the lift or wheel. ■Repeatable measurement: This equipment is a static measurement and adjustment, which can repeat the measurement of the front beam and tilt of the wheel. The monitor on the control cabinet and the operator's display in the pit display the measured values in real time. ■The positioning program automatically detects in real time, and cooperates with remote control and wireless scanning guns, label printers and other peripheral configurations to facilitate data entry and result tracing of the detection line. ■It is necessary to configure fixers that can be easily disassembled and installed to facilitate the installation and maintenance of the equipment between stations.

Structure and detail display

Scanners and cameras:Argos uses pairs of camera sets mounted in a structure known as a “scanner”. Each pair of cameras images the same object in a fixed and slightly separated positional relationship, and the image of each scanner calculates the depth of the object it sees, the most advanced “structured light three-dimensional scanning technology” in the industry today.The whole machine uses 4 groups of 8 cameras for positioning detection, with high-precision digital images and digital camera flash coverage, real-time synchronization to provide dynamic data, and can independently measure each wheel.

Pneumatic floating platform:The positioning floating platform mechanism consists of a front axle pneumatic turntable (adjustable wheelbase) and a rear axle side slide. The turntable floats 360 degrees and is pneumatically locked, with an adjustable wheelbase of ± 210mm on one side and a side slide on the rear axle. The equipment is equipped with a fully automatic pneumatic turntable system, which can be automatically locked and loosened as needed, providing two states of release and restraint for vehicle positioning, and is used in conjunction with the automatic measurement process.

Calibration trolley (frame):With the equipment, the benchmark frame is provided, and the factory carries out three-coordinate measurement; the measured three-coordinate data is sent to the manufacturer to calculate the front beam angle and external inclination angle of each wheel; through the calibration procedure, the front beam angle and external inclination angle are compensated to the four-wheel positioner for correction. The equipment itself has an automatic real-time detection function and automatic calibration technology, which eliminates the need for periodic calibration of the positioner camera. The standard frame is mainly used for accuracy verification and system correction scenarios.

Steering wheel aligner:The steering wheel aligner adopts 220V power supply voltage, alignment accuracy ± 0.1 degree, and the measurement range is plus or minus 45 degrees; the communication function is industrial wireless Bluetooth 100 meters, and the data interface is Bluetooth serial port with API; the charging dock is immediately charged. The steering wheel aligner and steering wheel level are used together to measure the steering wheel deflection angle and fix the steering wheel before adjustment to ensure that the measurement and adjustment are carried out in the correct steering wheel attitude.
