Abstract
An apparatus for measuring the dynamic characteristics of the vehicle wheel alignment in non-contact fashion with high accuracy is disclosed. A laser light source ( ) emits a laser beam of a predetermined geometric pattern toward the wheel side surface. A laser beam control device ( ) controls the width of the laser beam in such a manner as to be radiated only in a predetermined range of the wheel side surface. Two laser light sources ( ), ( ) emit non-parallel laser beams. A photdetecting device ( ) receives the two laser beams and converts them to two corresponding image data. A processing unit calculates the distance between the two images based on the two image data and calculates the wheel alignment based on the same distance.
