The Ranger® CRT380R Alignment System is a highly accurate, four-wheel, wireless alignment system for domestic and foreign cars and trucks. It features 8-CCD technology, Bluetooth® data transfer and our refined ProSpec® Alignment software that was designed for simplicity and speed.

All alignment steps from start-to-finish are clearly shown with vibrant animation and graphics providing a faster, more profitable and far easier to understand alignment procedure. This unique combination of user-friendly functionality and ease-of-use enables any business owner interested in providing alignment service as an additional profit source to do so with a minimal investment and training. ProSpec® software includes the essential software tools to perform fast, accurate alignments with factory results. It’s easy to use, consistent and precisely-measurable, and requires minimal supervision. Technicians proceed easily and receive immediate feedback and correction. Simplistic read results enable you to also identify potential problem areas specifically related to suspension components.

ProSpec® software was designed to give your wheel alignment service the best possible efficiency. It gives you the option of selecting the most effective measuring routines before starting wheel alignment procedures. Standard option for a program-guided routine with initial and final measurements - rapid procedure for measurements without caster steering angle and/or runout compensation - or free measurement for checking individual values as required.

The Ranger CRT380R aligner combined with ProSpec® results-driven software guarantees:


• Increase in bottom line revenue
• 30 percent average increase in read-rate accuracy
• Fewer costly re-reads and investigations
• Decline in come-backs and customer complaints

Check out the following features that make the Ranger CRT380R Wheel Aligner your best choice:

*Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) is the next generation of rechargeable batteries that emerged after NiCd (Nickel-Cadmium Battery). They use hydrogen absorbing alloys in their negative electrode (anode) and nickel oxide in their positive electrode (cathode). NiMH batteries are more environmentally friendly than NiCd, and offer much greater battery capacity per volume than NiCd. Another major advantage of NiMH over NiCd is their ability to accept a charge at any time without suffering from "memory effect”.

Power is supplied to the measurement sensors by built-in rechargeable batteries. The alignment values are determined with optical measurement using CCD line cameras (Charge-Coupled Devices) and 4 infrared light sources in each measurement sensor. There is a camera in the main housing, a second on the boom. Each CCD camera is illuminated alternately by 2 IR light sources; this requires a skewed position of the CCD lines in the cameras by 45" with respect to both light beams. One light source inside the camera beams directly from above onto the CCD line. This light source is built into a pendulum and handles the measurement of camber and steering axis inclination. The second light beam falls from the opposite measurement sensor in the horizontal direction onto the same CCD line and handles the measurement of the toe angle. The CCD camera line is divided into 1024 adjacent segments. From the beam intensity on the different segments, it is possible to calculate the beam deflection and thus the corresponding angle. Here an upstream lens that reduces the point-shaped light beam to a line and the ability of the downstream camera electronics to detect the lightest area of the light line achieve high precision. The individual control procedures and data streams are transmitted between the measurement sensor and the receiver in the equipment cabinet via infrared.

The 8-CCD wireless measuring sensor system consists of 8-CCD cameras which are fitted within the horizontal sensors (toe) and vertical sensors (camber and angle of steering inclination). As shown below, the 8 sensors form an enclosed 360° measurement field.

Bluetooth&regis a completely different way to form connections between the wheel sensors and the aligner computer. You can think of it as a cable- replacement technology that uses the 2.4 GHz (ISM) band. With Bluetooth you don't need to do anything special to initiate communications – the devices find each other automatically and start conversing without user input.

Signals are omni-directional and can even pass through walls. The devices don't need to be perfectly aligned and don't need an unobstructed line of sight. Bluetooth devices use a combination of the Personal Identification Number (PIN) and a Bluetooth address to identify other Bluetooth devices. The transmission scheme (FHSS) provides another level of security in itself. Instead of transmitting over one frequency within the 2.4 GHz band, Bluetooth radio transmission uses fast frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) technology, allowing only synchronized receivers to access the transmitted data so that interference from other RF sources is highly unlikely. Both Bluetooth and WLAN can co-exist within the same environment.
