摘要

The vehicles (2) are moved on a conveyor (5) and a device (21) connected to the control unit (19) detects the position of the vehicle tail (4) relative to the slide carriage (12, 16) or to the brush washers (8,9) thereon. A start switch (22) is coupled to the position detector so as to start up the slide carriage for synchronized movement at the right time when the vehicle tail is in position. A device for detecting the contours of the vehicle can be provided in front of or in the washing plant.
