The JOSAM Cam-Aligner uses patented camera technology with the vehicle chassis centreline as the measurement reference, rather than relying on the wheel itself as the primary reference. It measures toe, camber, caster, KPI, toe-out-on-turns, maximum steering angle, steering-box position, axle offset, out-of-square and parallelism. Its rolling measurement method allows toe and camber to be measured with the vehicle in its normal driving position, eliminating axle lifting and conventional run-out compensation; standard run-out measurement remains available when required. Wireless data transmission connects the measuring units to the computer, where guided software processes the measurements and generates before/after alignment reports

The PN166 is an indoor high-pressure nitrogen generator designed around a 145 PSI / 10 bar nitrogen output and an integrated 118 L external nitrogen storage tank, providing a stored-pressure buffer for repeated tyre-service operations. The system is supplied with a 10 m standard hose and two quick couplers, enabling direct connection to service equipment. Its high-pressure configuration is specified for motorcycles, cars, light trucks, buses and painting applications, making the stored nitrogen supply suitable for a broad range of automotive-service requirements.

The combination of 10 bar delivery pressure and 118 L storage capacity is the key technical advantage: the generator does not depend solely on instantaneous nitrogen production when servicing larger-volume tyres or multiple vehicles. The supplied quick-coupling arrangement also allows the generated nitrogen to be delivered directly to the application without additional connection hardware.
