The World’s First Voice-controlled Passenger-car Wheel .

microline 5000The world’s first voice-controlledpassenger-car wheel alignment system.Top-class suspension technologycalls for a top-class wheelalignment system.Driving safety and comfort are powerfulslogans for automobile manufacturersand motorists alike. For this reason, thesuspension technology of almost all newmodels is improved and more finelytuned than before. That means more andmore kinematic settings for thesuspension and even closer tolerances forthe target values.The average tolerance today for theoverall toe angle is 10 minutes. That isequivalent to the overall measuringprecision of older wheel alignmentequipment! The microline’s measuringprecision is 1 minute of angle. This is ayardstick that will be valid for many yearsto come. It is not by chance thatAudi/VW, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Ford,Mazda, Opel, Peugeot, Porsche, Renault,Toyota, Rover and many othermanufacturers throughout the worldrecommend microline measuringtechnology to their dealerships.Enter the world of state-of-the-art wheelalignment technology. Meet the world’sfirst voice-controlled system: themicroline 5000.N E T ZWERKFÄHIG

Passenger-car wheel alignmenthas never been so easy!Beissbarth has been settingnew standards in wheelalignment technologycontinuously for many years.In 1979, for example, with theworld’s first system based on ageometric dynamic axis. Or in1985, with the first colourmonitor system. In 1991,Beissbarth was the firstmanufacturer to launch CCDmeasuring sensor technology,8-track toe sensing system andinfrared data transfer on theworld market: the microline4000. In 1999 this developmentwas outperformed by themicroline 5000, the world’s firstwheel-alignment system withoptional voice control. Yousimply tell the microline 5000the value you wish to work onand the system displays therequested data on the screen.Your advantage: both hands arefree for adjustment work!Together with radiotransmission of measured dataand a battery mode forcableless operation of themicroline system, wheelalignment has never been aseasy.The microline 5000 –a world first – wasawarded the FederalGerman InnovationPrize in 2001.

You say the word.Both hands free for adjustment work.You tell the system via the headset to displaythe measured value. Then you have both handsfree for suspension adjustment.

Cableless measuringwith five timeshigher precision.Precision: 1 minute of angle.With CCD infrared measuringsensors.The precision of the measurement systemis vital for perfect wheel alignment. Inorder to guarantee precision as high as 1 minute of angle, each sensor isequipped with two CCD cameras. Theangle is therefore determined by twoinfrared beams. For your needs, thistechnology means: all suspension datacan be displayed permanently and withhigh precision on the microline’s colourmonitor. Naturally with a comparison oftarget and actual data.CCD infrared measuringsensors have many additionalpractical advantages: Measurement precision unaffected360 measuring zone forpermanent precision control andscope for additionalmeasurements.No wires. No cables. The microline 5000eight-track toe sensing system creates aclosed 360 measuring zone around thevehicle. There are distinct advantageshere: display of the measured valueswithout a tangle of cables; scope foradditional measurements at the rear axle(important for body damage); aprogramme for vehicles equipped with aspoiler and permanent monitoring of thesystem’s precision during measurementand suspension adjustment. Deviationsare automatically displayed on the colourmonitor.Innovative, exemplaryprecision control:The 360 infraredmeasuring zone mustsurely make themicroline 5000 the bestsystem now availableon the world market.by temperature Very high resolution: theoreticallythe toe angle could be measured inseconds of angle Single toe zone with more than 11 degrees for consistent displayof toe angle when replacing trackrod ends The system is accurate to 1minute of angle for toe and camberafter rim runout compensation.Precise and clear:standard 2-dimensionalmeasured-value displays.

Measurement in battery mode.Radio transfer of measured data.Optional: Voice control.The system displays therequested measured value at yourcommand.The voice control facility on the microline5000 is completely new on the worldmarket. You tell the system via headsetwhat it should do and what values youwant displayed. You can see immediatelywhat advantages you have especiallywhen adjusting the suspension settings:both hands free for adjustment work.That’s what we call efficiencyimprovement at Beissbarth. Of course youcan also operate the system via thestandard MF keyboard and mouse.The microline 5000measuring sensorwith radio antennafor transmission ofmeasured data to thesystem’s computer.Specially practical: measuring bypure battery power.The microline 5000’s interchangeablebatteries keep the system immediatelyoperational around the clock. You simplyexchange the sensor batteries for thesecond set (optional) in the charger:taking measurements in the batterymode without a cable in sight is sosimple and saves so much time!The measured data reach the PCunit by radio transfer. Evenwithout line-of-sight contact.This is currently the quickest cablelessform of data transfer. Data are alwaysdisplayed on the colour monitor, even ifthere is no visual link with the receiver.What’s more, the sensors’ radio system isso perfectly tuned that you can acceptmeasurements at up to four workstations simultaneously.Practical: themeasuring sensorshave easy-to-replaceinterchangeablebatteries for cablelessmeasurement.

System software:Networking individual workstations such as brake testing,wheel alignment, exhaustemission testing or enginediagnosis cuts costs considerablybecause you don’t have to entercustomer data more than once.ASA networkcompatibility andmultimedia capability.Standard: the complete softwareon one CD with clearance codes.A CD-ROM with the software you haveasked for accompanies your microline. Ifyou need further software – no problem!Via a clearance code which you receivefrom us, for example by e-mail, you canopen this software on your CD-ROM andintegrate it into your microline system.It’s as easy as that with Beissbarth.Runs on the microline system:the ASA workshop networkmanager.There is no new measuring system fromus that is not suitable for full networking.Naturally! The microline is compatible viaAWN with current commercial softwareand with other workshop equipment.Animated, three-dimensionalmeasurement displays.Measurement displays can also beanimated in three dimensions. Youremployees and customers can follow theindividual angle settings more easily andunderstand why precise wheel alignmentis so important for roadholding andsafety.Practical: multimedia capabilityand online diagnosis.The microline software runs on Windows2000 and offers you a whole series ofadvantages: for example, simultaneouswork in several programs, a networkconnection to other systems or softwareupdates via Internet. We have even gonea stage further. In future, we can log intoyour new microline system via Internet orISDN at your request and carry out adiagnosis. Almost all system faults oroperator errors can be determined innext to no time – anywhere in the world.
