3.6 Measuring sensors with CCD camera
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 MINI Cooper and 2008 MINI Cooper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
The measuring sensors are each equipped for automatic measurement with two CCD cameras and their own processor for the cableless infrared transmission of data with integrated batteries.
Benefits:
- No temperature deviation
- Very high measuring resolution (the track could theoretically be measured in angular seconds)
- Single track range of more than ± 9 degrees for the constant display of toe-in when changing the tie-rod ends
- Exact system accuracy, i.e. when carrying out measurements at the vehicle following rim
run-out compensation, the toe-in and camber measurements are accurate to 2 angular minutes
