The Techmor LASER Alignment System (LA-1) provides precision, non-contact measurement of wheel steering angles, and camber angles. For use on tracks or rigs. Measures Toe, Bump-Steer, Ackerman, Camber Gain, Rear Axle Steer, and more. The System Includes a LASER generator, which mounts on the wheel center, and a LASER receiver, which mounts on the chassis. The resultant measurements (2 angles) are output as analog voltages, CAN messages, RS232 serial, wireless, or USB.

Details
Measure Tire Pressures with high accuracy. System uses the Techmor Wireless Link to measure pressure on-track. Highest quality aerospace pressure sensor, with Titanium valve stem mount.
Details
Wireless system measures axle torque and transmits to in-car receiver. System consists of two instrumented axle shafts with transmitter units, and a single in-car receiver. Output is analog (0-5V).
Details
Use as a cable replacement for 0-5V analog signals, or choose from a variety of pressure, load-cell, temperature, LCD screens, USB, and digital CAN bus models
Measure Tire Temperatures using this carbon fiber, triple Infra-Red sensor. Internal Microcontrollers provide ambient temperature compensation. Accurately tracks inner, middle, and outer tread temperatures for chassis setup, and tire analysis.
Details
Steering Wheel Quick-Release Coupler with internal torque sensing. Output signal is proportional to driver-applied torque. Can be combined with an SG-1 (sold separately) for 0-5V output.
Details
Amplify strain-gage, load-cell, torque-cell, or pressure sensor outputs to convert a mVolt output to a 0-5V high-level signal. Gain from 70 to 1280 and offset up to 5V for bi-directional loads or torques.
Measure front splitter loads in tension (downforce), and compression (track contact). These load cells connect the splitter to the bumper, to gather information for car setup. Standard load range is 250lb tension, 1000lb compression. 0-5V output.
Measure electrical current from -120A to 120A. Simply run a DC cable through the ring, and the unit output (0 to 5V) is proportional to current. Applications include current measurement of batteries, alternators, fans, pumps, chillers, etc.
