摘要： A wheel examining system for examining a two-axle or three-axle vehicle is provided. The wheel examining system includes a wheel examining apparatus for examining a wheel in particular as to its alignment. A wheel guide apparatus is provided for guiding a wheel into a predetermined examining site. The wheel guide apparatus includes a plurality of rollers arranged in different levels and orientations so that the wheel may be smoothly and properly guided into the examining site. A three-axle vehicle examining system includes three different examining sections one of which may be shifted in a transverse direction to determine a discrepancy in alignment of three axles. A wheel examining apparatus includes a roller clamp unit which includes left-hand contact rollers and right-hand contact rollers which may be brought into the opposite sides of a wheel. A pair of left-hand and right-hand angle detectors are provided in association with the left-hand and right-hand contact rollers to thereby detect the orientations of the opposite sides of a wheel independently. A floating support structure constructed by using a plurality of linear motion guide units is also provided.
