Abstract:
A method of aligning a property for testing in a dynamometer cell is provided, including the steps of: mounting a laser travel car to each of four risers in a repositionable manner; mounting a laser to each of the laser travel cars in a repositionable manner; securing a dyno cart into a cart receiving station between the four risers; calibrating each of the lasers; preparing the dyno cart to receive the property; mounting the property to the dyno cart; orienting the various lasers based, at least in part, upon predetermined optimal alignment dimensions to thereby provide a set of target locations; orienting the property such that predetermined locations of the property align with the set of target locations to ensure appropriate property orientation during testing; and removing the dyno cart from the cart receiving station for delivery to the dynamometer cell.
