GERMAN SOFTWARE DESIGN

Designed in Germany for the complete alignment workflow.

SureAlign software is designed in Germany. Qualified partners can specify the compatible measurement sequence and feature level for their operating model. KJC confirms the final functions against the selected hardware configuration and production specification. A higher version number does not by itself indicate a better alignment machine — hardware, options, vehicle data, and regional configuration also determine capability.

FEATURE REFERENCE

Every published function, explained in one guide.

This guide documents 50 SureAlign functions across measurement, runout compensation, alignment analysis, adjustment, productivity, and integration. Open a function to review its purpose and the conditions that affect availability.
