Non-contact 3D measurement

We are experts for contactless wheel alignment: We have been manufacturing and selling our 3D measurement probes worldwide for over 15 years. Our probes work on the principle of stereophotogrammetry, i. e. 2 synchronously operating
cameras record images of the illuminated tire and use them to generate a 3D model from which all relevant chassis parameters such as toe and camber can be determined reliably and quickly. The probes are connected to a measuring computer via GBit Ethernet.

The different models have particular strengths in different applications, so we can offer the perfect solution for every system. For data evaluation in a wheel aligner, we recommend our VisiWheAl measurement software for all sensor types.

Overview over our measurement probes

Measurement probe: VisiCon dPP Gen2

VisiCon dPPGen 2
The Classic Reloaded

The VisiCon dPP Gen2 combines proven measurement technology with state-of-the-art hardware and a future-proof software architecture. It enables the precise, real-time measurement of toe, camber, and other chassis parameters and ensures maximum process reliability in vehicle production.
Thanks to automatic tire detection, time-consuming vehicle-specific parameterization is no longer necessary, which significantly reduces commissioning and retrofitting times. At the same time, the proven differential image method ensures high measurement accuracy and reliable compensation for extraneous light, even under demanding production conditions.
Optionally, the height of the wheelhouse edge can be measured synchronously, allowing additional chassis and vehicle parameters to be determined in a single measurement process.

Your benefits at a glance

  • Faster and more efficient processes thanks to automatic tire detection
  • Greater process reliability through automatic quality assessment of each measurement
  • Improved measurement quality through enhanced image processing
  • Wide measurement range for a wide variety of vehicle types
  • Future-proof technology thanks to a modern hardware and software platform
  • Compatible with the existing dPP generation and therefore ideal for retrofit projects
Measurement probe: VisiCon VisiScan

VisiCon VisiScan
The Innovative

The VisiCon VisiScan is a high-performance 3D measurement probe for chassis measurement. Four highly dynamic laser scanners specifically illuminate the areas of the tire sidewall and wheelhouse edge relevant to the measurement, enabling the simultaneous capture of toe, camber, and wheelhouse edge height in a single measurement process. At the same time, the selective illumination provides greater protection against stray light and disruptive reflections.
A high signal-to-noise ratio and low sensitivity to extraneous light ensure reliable measurement results even under demanding production conditions.
Thanks to automatic measurement range detection, no vehicle-specific parameterization is required. Combined with the wide measurement range, this allows the VisiScan to be used flexibly for different tire sizes, rim types, and vehicle models.

Your benefits at a glance:

  • Reduced cycle time through simultaneous measurement of toe, camber, and wheelhouse edge height
  • Protection against stray light through selective illumination of the measurement area
  • Faster and more efficient processes through automatic tire detection
  • Greater process reliability through automatic quality assessment of each measurement
  • Wide measurement range for a wide variety of vehicle types
Measurement probe: VisiCon dPPTwin

VisiCon dPP Twin
The Flexible

The VisiCon dPP Twin is a compact alternative to the classic dPP probe and is specifically designed for test benches with limited space and short measurement distances.
Since its integration into existing systems does not require extensive structural modifications, it is particularly well-suited as a replacement for technically outdated 2D measurement technology (e.g., Perceptron).
The two measuring heads can be flexibly positioned relative to one another, thereby enabling the measurement of a wide range of tires. This allows the measurement system to be easily adapted to different vehicle types and the specific space constraints at the test bench.
The proven measurement method precisely captures toe, camber, and other chassis parameters while reliably compensating for interfering extraneous light.

Your benefits at a glance:

  • Short measurement distance of 420 to 620 mm—ideal for retrofitting older systems
  • Flexible positioning of the measuring heads for different vehicle types
  • Quick integration into existing systems
  • High measurement accuracy even in the presence of extraneous light, thanks to proven measurement methods and stable algorithms
  • Proven measurement technology and software
