Supertracker upgrades STR1 wheel aligner with green lasers

Supertracker has updated its STR1 laser half cab and trolley to feature green lasers. The use of green lasers said to improve the visibility, precision and clarity of the laser line. Green lasers also work in both normal workshop lighting conditions as well as outdoors and over a longer distances, in comparison to the traditional red lasers.

According to the company, the human eye is inherently more sensitive to green light due to the photopic response, a phenomenon where the eye’s peak sensitivity falls around 555 nanometers, which coincides with the wavelength of green light. This heightened sensitivity allows green lasers to appear brighter and more visible than red lasers to the human eye.

Green lasers also “offer clarity and precision” due to the brightness, an important factor in environments requiring pinpoint accuracy. Supertracker has now brought green laser enhancements to wheel alignment. Now offering a notable advantage for use on track days, with race teams, as well as in mobile wheel alignment, plus tyre shops, MOT stations, used car centres and even with operators who are colourblind.

The new STR1 green laser wheel alignment system, which is manufactured in the UK, is available as a wall hung solution as a space saving option or on a trolley as a mobile solution. Both of which are designed in a neutral grey and black. Now supplied with a 9V battery, for increased battery life of over 16 hours and supplied as standard with hangers to fit up to 24-inch wheels, with the ability to easily and accurate measure toe and thrust angle. The STR1 can also be upgraded to measure Camber and Castor with use of a Digital Camber Castor Gauge.
