| General |
| |
|
|
|
MKS offers the convenience of quickly and accurately establishing,
e.g. prior to each |
| |
chassis alignment operation, whether the systems has suffered
any measurement |
| |
accuracy. This is done by attaching precision supports for
the measuring sensors |
| |
at the front and rear of the runways on each side of the rack. |
| |
|
|
|
MKS is a tool for the continuous quality assurance of the
chassis alignment workplace |
| |
by the user. |
| |
|
|
|
MKS can only be installed an chassis alignment lifts/racks
with runways above floor level. |
| |
|
|
|
MKS is not suitable nor is it to be used for performing
adjustment and leveling work on the |
| |
lift/rack. |
| MKS Installation |
| |
|
|
|
Following installation of the lift/rack and leveling of the
runways by the lift supplier and |
| |
installation of the alignment console by its supplier (including
adjustment of the sensors |
| |
on the adjustment device), the MKS should be installed by
its supplier in the presence of |
| |
the operator (dealer personnel). This includes provision of
documenting the reference |
|
|
values via the transit measurements. |
|
|
|
|
|
The runways of the lift/rack are lowered completely. This
is the start and finish position |
| |
for all chassis alignment operations. The sensors are inserted
into the MKS brackets |
| |
at the sides of the runways, adjusted to the zero position
with the aid of a spirit level fixed |
| |
with clamping screws. |
|
|
|
|
|
Drive a mid-range car onto the turntable and sliding platforms.
Remove the arresting pins |
| |
from the turntables and sliding platforms or unlock the sliding
platforms. |
| |
|
|
|
The camber and toe-in reading displayed on the MKS screen
are reference values. On |
|
|
computer - aided systems these can be set to zero after entering
the password. Password |
|
|
information can be obtained from the manufacturer of the equipment. |
|
|
|
|
|
The reference values on non - computer - aided systems cannot
be set to zero, and must |
| |
therefore be noted or printed out for comparison purposes. |
| |
|
|
Use of the MKS
|
| |
|
|
|
If the MKS screen displays toe-in and camber readings >
5' + 1 digit jump before an |
|
|
alignment operation, then the entire system must be checked
( sensors inserted into the |
|
|
MKS brackets at the sides of the runways, runway lowered completely
and loaded with |
|
|
a vehicle). |
|
|
|
|
|
In computer - aided systems with special MKS display, Impermissible
reference value |
| |
deviations are automatically marked in red. On systems without
the special MKS display, |
| |
the noted basic reference values must be compared with the
current MKS values to |
| |
assess the accuracy of the system. |
| METHOD 1: |
| Lift/rack Platform |
|
| |
|
 |
|
|
Runway level comparison ( bottom to top ) with |
| |
sensor on the vehicle,
q2, -8, 2 (comparison of |
| |
camber readings between runways completely |
| |
lowered and lifted and leveled). |
| |
|
|
|
For camber reading deviations ( > 2' + 1 digit ) the |
| |
runways must be adjusted by the supplier |
| |
( using a transit ). |
| |
|
|
|
For < 2' + 1 digit (i.e. OK), the MKS deviation is |
| |
probably due to the aligner. |
| METHOD 2: |
|
| |
|
 |
|
|
Check the sensors of the alignment console with |
| |
the calibration device ( included with the aligner |
| |
console package ) and adjust if necessary. If |
|
|
this falls to reveal significant deviations at the |
| |
sensors, then the MKS deviation is probably due |
|
|
the lift/rack ( after adjusting the sensors call up the |
| |
MKS values again if necessary ). The lift/rack |
| |
should only be checked and adjusted by supplier. |
