Features




DigiSmart™ Technology

The Arago V3D relies on 3 DigiSmart imaging cameras to provide real-time 3D measurements. Two of the imaging cameras automatically capture the wheel targets on the vehicle, and the third imaging camera establishes the distance between the other two cameras.

Advanced software enables the imaging cameras to automatically adjust their height when the vehicle is raised or lowered, ensuring the targets are always in view, and allowing the technician to perform adjustments at a comfortable working height. Technicians will also enjoy the benefit of being able to perform rolling compensation without lifting the vehicle. The safety and convenience of raising the vehicle to an optimal working height will reduce technician fatigue and correction times, resulting in an increasingly productive workforce and increased profits.
