Front axle toe-in inspection process and apparatus |
摘要 |
An apparatus for inspecting the toe-in for a vehicle front axle assembly includes a fixture having a pair of clamps for engaging the axle spindles. The fixture is adjustable to accommodate different length axles and one of the clamps is rotatable to accommodate the toe-in setting. A position indicator is attached to one of the clamps and a position sensor is attached to the other clamp for generating an actual value signal representing the toe-in setting. A bar code reader scans labels on the axle parts to generate an identification signal to a computer. The computer compares the actual toe-in value signal with a desired toe-in value associated with the identification signal in storage to determine whether the axle is "good" or "bad" and generate an appropriate visual display. A label with manufacturing data is printed and attached to "good" axles.
