JOSAM and TruckCam Join Forces With Amazing Results

Late last year the Josam and TruckCam brands, worldwide specialists in heavy duty wheel alignment, joined forces to launch a new camera system to measure wheel angles.

Now working together, these dominant trademarks within the heavy duty alignment market, have developed a common division for commercial vehicles in the Car-O-Liner Group.

Introducing their brand new product at the 2014 Automechanika in Frankfurt, their new creation generated a lot of buzz and excitement from truck and bus workshops, as well as tyre service centres everywhere!

Launched under the Josam brand, the new heavy duty wheel alignment system is called JOSAM Cam-Aligner, and is a result of the best of both manufacturing worlds.

Some of the advanced new JOSAM cam-aligner features include:

• Camera technology with targets and sensors operating with the vehicle’s centre line as reference.
• A modular system that can measure all wheel angles in extensive configurations and align the ACC Adaptive Cruise Control of various vehicles. Furthermore, it can be combined with a frame check module to analyse chassis distortions and may also be used for quick diagnosis of the axle geometry.
• Roll the vehicle 180 degrees for automatic run-out, and measurements of toe and camber are taken in a matter of minutes. By adding two more wheel adapters, two axles can be measured simultaneously with 50% less operating time.
• Wireless technology for transmitting data between sensors and the PC-software. A new Graphic User Interface guides the operator through the measuring process and prints out reports of the wheel angle values before and after alignment. During adjustment, “live” values are shown on screen to determine proper alignment.

JOSAM cam-aligner handles wheel angles such as toe, steering box position, camber, out of square, parallelism and axle offset. For turning axle angles caster, KPI, Toe Out On Turns as well as max turn are measured. Everything is performed within the shortest possible time, including set up.
