Runout Compensation

A measurement preparation process that compensates for wheel and target mounting variation before alignment readings are used for adjustment.

Alignment function

Recommended whenever possible for accurate measurement.

Runout compensation helps remove the influence of wheel, clamp, target and mounting variation. SureAlign™ supports multiple compensation methods so workshops can select the right process for accuracy, bay space and vehicle limitations.

1
Standard runoutBackward/forward movement is the recommended method whenever conditions allow.
2
Constraint optionsSplit, one-way forward, one-way backward and raised runout support different bay constraints.
3
Technician workflowVisionCue™ can assist the technician during the movement and target tracking process.

What it does in the workflow.

This page explains the function from a workshop and technician perspective, not as a service manual.

STANDARDRecommended method

Use standard roll compensation whenever possible for maximum confidence.

SPLITForward/back/forward

Useful when bay layout or workflow requires split movement.

ONE-WAYForward or backward

A practical option when movement is limited in one direction.

RAISEDWheels unloaded

For heavy vehicles or short runways where rolling is difficult.
