Wheel aligner gives workshops more space and time BEISSBARTH’S WEB-BASED WHEEL ALIGNER, Q.LIGN, ADDS REVENUE THROUGH FAST ALIGNMENT CHECKS eissbarth has tapped into the ‘internet of things’ to give workshops back more space and time in the design of its revolutionary new Q.Lign aligner, making the workshop of the future more profitable. The Q.Lign Compact offers a web-based solution which does away with the traditional PCbased cabinet and trolley. Its wireless functionality allows control and display of the alignment process via a workshop tablet, laptop, or smartphone — whichever is preferred. This frees up valuable workshop space for headlight or ADAS calibration equipment, and gives the technician more space around the vehicle to carry out the alignment. Beissbarth’s rethink of the process puts speed and efficiency at the heart of the alignment, by taking advantage of the connectivity already available around us. It is this kind of innovation that has seen Beissbarth at the forefront of technology throughout its 120-year history. This web-based wheel aligner is a world first.

Another key element in Q.Lign’s speed is Q.Grip — the quickest way to attach targets to wheels without contacting the rim. The smart gripping system allows adjustment between different wheel sizes in less than a second and its three-arm design holds securely for accurate results, without any slippage or risk of damage to the rims. Designed to fit into the fast-paced workshop environment, the Q.Lign will revolutionise wheel alignment.
