Video: Collision Blueprinting with Alignment Equipment

Learn how the ADASLink scan tool leads a tech through the pre-scan and use of extenders and ride height targets.

An alignment is usually called for prior to ADAS calibrations, because if the wheels aren’t going straight, then neither are the cameras or radar. This means the system won’t work as intended, which can have serious results. Blueprinting, as Babcox Media’s Joe Keene explains, helps ensure that all collision damage has been properly repaired and the vehicle is ready for alignment and calibration.

Joe demonstrates in detail how the ADASLink scan tool leads the technician through the pre-scan, including use of extenders for a more comprehensive view and ride height targets to make sure the vehicle is level. As systems change and more thorough documentation is required, Hunter will meet the demands. The step-by-step onscreen guidance of ADASLink ensures no steps are missed, eliminating guesswork and providing a precise and thoroughly documented calibration for more than 25 million vehicles.

The innovation of the Lincoln Highway wasn’t just about building roads—it was about putting them on the map. The Wyoming Historical Society notes that the abandoned routes laid down by the Union Pacific railroad from 1867 to 1869 were often the best, and sometimes the only, east-west path available when developing the Lincoln Highway. In fact, staying so close to the rail line meant that the Lincoln Highway had about 100 crossings of train tracks throughout the state.
