Aladin 8 Alignment System - Kwik-Way

Specifications

The Kwik-Way Aladin 8 Alignment System, identified by model number 594-0001-00, is a comprehensive computerized wheel alignment solution with a shipping weight of 630 lbs. It features a set of four advanced sensors equipped with internal optical encoders for rapid and precise alignment readings. Wireless communication is handled via integrated Bluetooth™ technology, providing an extended range and reliable connection. Each sensor includes an on-board control panel with LED indicators for toe and camber, allowing technicians to operate the system from any wheel location. The system is housed within a deluxe mobile cabinet, which features a drawer, a locking door, and serves as a docking station for sensor storage and recharging.

The integrated computer system includes a 2.53GHz Intel processor, 512MB RAM, an 80GB SATA hard drive, and a 16X DVD/CD drive, running on Windows™ XP. Peripheral equipment consists of a 19-inch color monitor, a color inkjet printer, speakers, a full-size keyboard, and a mouse. An Uninterruptible Power Supply (500VA UPS) is included to protect the system's electronics. The system comes with Kwik-Clamps (part number 594-4400-04), which are patented 3-point self-centering wheel clamps designed to adjust from 10 to 26 inches. These clamps feature tire grabbers for a secure hold on tires up to 36 inches in diameter, and nylon lip adapters and rim pegs to prevent scratching of alloy or powder-coated wheels. Additionally, it includes a steering wheel lock with spring and a brake pedal lock. The system comes pre-loaded with the latest U.S. vehicle specifications, including a free first-year renewal.
