ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for measuring the angle between two members is disclosed. A wheel aligner has a projector mounted on each front wheel of the vehicle to project a beam toward the other projector. Each projector has a detector to sense the presence of a beam from the opposite projector. Each projector has a plurality of light sources to project a plurality of beams, one at a time, in a diverging pattern. Circuitry is provided to identify the beam which is detected, at any angle of toe of the wheel, to thereby give the angle of toe.
