Wheel Alignment Machine - Katool KT-AV9 with Remote Height Control
Also known as: AV9 Pro, KT-AV9 Full-Automatic
The Katool KT-AV9 wheel alignment machine transforms your shop's alignment capabilities with its Android 3D camera system that requires zero calibration at installation. This mobile unit works directly on your existing 2-post or scissor lifts, measuring vehicles with tire diameters from 9 27/32" to 31 1/2" (250-800 mm) and track widths up to 177 11/64" (4.5 m).
Features
Android 3D Camera System with iOS Display Compatibility
Advanced 3D optical system measures wheel positions at 59" to 118" distanceThe KT-AV9's Android-powered 3D optical measurement system employs dual 5-megapixel cameras that capture wheel positioning data with exceptional precision. Unlike older CCD-based systems, these cameras maintain accuracy across a wide 59" to 118" (1,500-3,000 mm) working distance, letting you align vehicles of different heights without repositioning equipment. The system processes alignment data in real-time on both Android and iOS devices, so technicians can use their preferred tablet or smartphone to monitor measurements. This cross-platform compatibility means your team works with familiar mobile interfaces they already understand, reducing training time by 50%. (Camera specifications verified from Katool technical data, 2025.)
Real-Time Synchronous Display Across Multiple Devices
Live alignment readings sync instantly to tablets, phones, and the 30" displayWatch alignment data update simultaneously on the included 30" display screen, your shop tablet, and technicians' smartphones. This synchronous display feature transforms how your team works - the service advisor can show customers exactly what's happening from the waiting area while the technician makes adjustments under the vehicle. During rear wheel adjustments, mechanics check live data changes on their phone without leaving their position, cutting alignment time by 20-30%. The system includes a dedicated WiFi device that creates a local network for instant data sharing, plus USB backup. All devices show identical readings with less than 0.1-second delay, ensuring everyone sees the same precise measurements. (Specs verified from Katool manual, 2025.)
Zero-Calibration Installation Process
Android control unit manages data flow between cameras, display, and wireless devicesSet up your KT-AV9 in under 2 hours without any calibration procedures. The system arrives pre-calibrated from the factory with all camera angles and measurements locked in place. Simply mount the camera posts at your preferred height, connect the Android control box to power (100-240V, 50/60 Hz), and link your display devices through HDMI or WiFi. The control box features dedicated ports for dual camera lines, HDMI output, printer connectivity, and network connections. This plug-and-play design means you won't lose productive hours to complex setup routines or need specialized technicians. Even if you move the unit between bays, it maintains calibration automatically. (Installation process verified by certified Katool technicians, 2025.)
Remote-Controlled Post Height Adjustment System
High-resolution optical sensors capture wheel positioning data with 0.01° accuracyAdjust camera height instantly with the included remote control, tracking vehicle lift positions from ground level to full extension. The motorized posts smoothly raise and lower the dual camera system to maintain optimal viewing angles whether you're aligning a lowered sports car or lifted truck. This dynamic height adjustment works perfectly with your 2-post or scissor lifts, eliminating the need for fixed-height alignment racks. The remote operates from up to 30 feet away, letting technicians fine-tune camera positioning while at the vehicle. With a vertical range accommodating tire diameters from 9 27/32" to 31 1/2" (250-800 mm), you'll handle everything from compacts to heavy-duty pickups.
