3D Wheel Alignment History

Nov 29, 2024

The development history of wheel alignment machines can be summarized in detail as follows:


1. **Early Development Phase**:

- The world's first automobile was manufactured by the Benz brothers in 1885.

- Beissbarth company was established in 1899.


2. **Application of Optical Positioning Technology**:

- In 1955, Hunter developed the first optical positioning system known as Lite-A-Line.


3. **Emergence of Computerized Positioning Systems**:

- In 1969, Hunter developed the first computerized positioning system, F60/70 Compute-A-Line.


4. **Application of CCD Technology**:

- In 1991, Beissbarth developed the first CCD technology-based alignment machine, microline 4000.


5. **Development and Application of 3D Technology**:

- 3D wheel alignment machines, with their high measurement efficiency, low failure rate, and high-tech elements, have been widely recognized by users and have gradually replaced traditional laser and CCD wheel alignment machines.

- The year 2010 is considered the beginning of the 3D wheel alignment machine era.


6. **Innovation of Intelligent Wheel Alignment Machines**:

- In 2008, Sanjie Yi Company in China launched the world's first intelligent wheel alignment machine.

- In 2011, Shenzhen Wanlike developed an intelligent alignment machine that automatically selects frequency using ZIGbee wireless communication technology, unaffected by environmental interference.

- In 2013, Shenzhen Tianyuan Technology developed the first fully automatic adaptive mobile 3D wheel alignment machine in China.


7. **Technological Foresight and Development Trends**:

- Currently, there are 3D wheel alignment machines on the market, and Wanlike Technology has developed intelligent wheel alignment machines that automatically select frequency without being affected by environmental interference. Ordinary 3D measurement methods, intelligent through-type, and non-contact measurement will be the development trends of wheel alignment machines, and in the future, car wheel alignment measurement will be more simple, fast, and accurate.

- With the development of IoT technology, wheel alignment machines will be seamlessly connected with other vehicle sensors and diagnostic systems to achieve comprehensive monitoring of vehicle health status. At the same time, the application of augmented reality (AR) technology will provide intuitive visual guidance, simplifying the complex alignment adjustment process.

- Wheel alignment machines will integrate more functions, such as tire wear monitoring and suspension system health assessment, becoming a one-stop automotive maintenance solution.


After nearly 10 years of development, 3D four-wheel aligner has evolved into a new generation of 3-camera positioning instrument without beam. It is characterized by two separate camera modules, which take up less space in the store, and people and cars can pass through. It is a high-end product of 3D four-wheel aligner.


These development milestones mark the progress of wheel alignment machine technology, from the initial optical positioning to computer-assisted systems, and then to modern 3D technology and intelligent wheel alignment machines. Each technological innovation has greatly improved the efficiency and accuracy of car maintenance and repair.
