WheelTracker/ EngineTracker
The systems operates on all road conditions (durability cobblestone roads, pot holes, etc) in all weather conditions. The measurement data is streamed continuously through analog or digital TCP/IP connection into your standard data acquisition system or laptop.
 WheelTracker

The EngineTracker is based on the same technology but specifically designed to measure the motion of the engine while driving. Up to 4 WheelTrackers and 1 EngineTracker can be connected to 1 compact lightweight controller unit.

Key features

  • Synchronized measurement of 4 wheels and engine
  • External synchronization (Master & Slave mode)
  • High accuracy (0.08mm)
  • Data output: digital (TCP/ IP) or analog
  • Igel/ Kistler wheel force transducer compatible
  • 12VDC power supply with internal battery backup
  • Optional engine measurement set-up

 Metris EngineTracker for engine motion analyis

Key benefits


  • Non-contact optical measurements
  • Compact set-up
  • Short set-up time (less then 1 hour per wheel)
  • Low added mass to the wheels
  • Full spectrum for dynamic measurements
  • Plug & play via optional analog outputs
  • All weather: waterproof/ dust resistant (IP65), winter package available
  • Low power consumption

Applications

  • Dynamic Kinematics and Compliance (K&C) evaluation in conjunction with wheel force transducers
  • Measuring change in toe & camber angle (e.g. during slalom)
  • Lap recording for road simulators on test and race tracks
  • Wheel packaging test
  • Full speed performance tests
  • Emergency stop and ABS testing
  • Vehicle dynamics test (bump steer, roll steer, dive)
  • Ride and handling test
