The system is purpose-built for one job: fast, precise, repeatable wheel alignments. A mobile six-camera frame captures camber, caster, toe, and thrust angle on U.S., Asian, and European vehicles from \u003cstrong\u003e1975 to current production\u003c\/strong\u003e, with continuously updated OE alignment specifications loaded by server-based Auto VID.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe guided workflow starts with vehicle identification, then steps the technician through an all-systems pre-scan, undercarriage inspection, and tire tread depth and pressure analysis before measurement begins. Real-time feedback during adjustment shortens iteration loops and reduces the number of \"re-check, re-measure\" cycles per alignment. The auto-tracking crossbar follows the vehicle as the lift moves, holding precise target alignment without manual repositioning between measurement passes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeyond standard alignment, the IWA500 handles the cases that slow most bays down: \u003cstrong\u003ebump steer\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eraised-vehicle adjustment\u003c\/strong\u003e for limited-clearance designs, \u003cstrong\u003ewheel-off mode\u003c\/strong\u003e for tight suspensions, and \u003cstrong\u003eSAS (Steering Angle Sensor) calibration\u003c\/strong\u003e to properly complete alignments on ADAS-equipped and electronic-steering vehicles. Autel's MaxiToe feature centers the steering wheel during toe adjustment without a steering wheel holder, simplifying a step that traditionally requires extra hardware and a second set of hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IWA500ACT is fully portable bay-to-bay — there is no fixed installation. Detailed pre- and post-alignment reports document every job for the customer, the insurer, and the shop's records, and the reports save, print, or share digitally from the tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMobile six-camera frame\u003c\/strong\u003e — captures camber, caster, toe, and thrust angle; bay-to-bay portable\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eServer-based Auto VID\u003c\/strong\u003e — instant vehicle identification with OEM alignment specifications loaded automatically\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGuided graphical workflow\u003c\/strong\u003e — all-systems pre-scan, undercarriage inspection, and tire tread depth and pressure analysis before measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore measurements\u003c\/strong\u003e — rolling diameter, symmetry values, camber, caster, toe, thrust angle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced functions\u003c\/strong\u003e — bump steer, raised-vehicle analysis, wheel-off adjustment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaxiToe\u003c\/strong\u003e — centers the steering wheel during toe adjustment without a steering wheel holder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSAS (Steering Angle Sensor) calibration\u003c\/strong\u003e — completes the post-alignment task required on ADAS-equipped and electronic-steering vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuto-tracking crossbar\u003c\/strong\u003e — automated crossbar positioning follows the vehicle as the lift moves and maintains target alignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePre- and post-alignment reports\u003c\/strong\u003e — detailed OE-spec verification reports; save, print, or share digitally\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible with Autel's Bluetooth handheld inclinometer for Mercedes-Benz alignment workflows (inclinometer sold separately)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVehicle coverage:\u003c\/strong\u003e U.S., Asian, and European models, 1975 to current production\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eADAS-equipped vehicles:\u003c\/strong\u003e SAS Relearn supports post-alignment requirements on modern electronic-steering and ADAS vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMercedes-Benz alignment:\u003c\/strong\u003e pair with Autel's Bluetooth-enabled handheld inclinometer (sold separately) to support Mercedes-Benz alignment workflows\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBay placement:\u003c\/strong\u003e bay-to-bay portable; no fixed installation required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIWA500 mobile six-camera wheel alignment frame\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e10.1-inch touchscreen wireless MaxiAlign IWA500 tablet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBluetooth MaxiVCI V200 vehicle communication interface\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAutel-branded metal rim-storage cabinet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour (4) tire rim clamps with positioning targets\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTwo (2) wheel chocks\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBrake pedal depressor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSteering wheel holder stand tool\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEquipment cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTablet holder\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAC power cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e12\/24 V power cord\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWarranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne-year limited warranty covering the IWA500 alignment system, MaxiAlign IWA500 tablet, and rim-storage cabinet.

The IWA500ACT adds the Autel-branded metal rim-storage cabinet for organizing the four rim clamps and accessories between jobs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes the IWA500 handle ADAS calibration?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IWA500 is a wheel alignment system, not an ADAS calibration system. It performs Steering Angle Sensor (SAS) calibration as part of the post-alignment workflow on ADAS-equipped vehicles, which is what most alignments on modern electronic-steering vehicles require. Full ADAS calibration (radar aim, camera target placement, LDW, BSM, etc.) is handled by Autel's IA700, IA900, and IA1000 family of ADAS calibration systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it work on alignment-rack lifts or scissor lifts?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IWA500 is a mobile, free-standing frame designed to roll bay-to-bay. It works alongside any properly equipped alignment-capable lift; the system itself does not require a dedicated lift.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs installation included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe IWA500ACT ships in a packaged configuration.
