In the structure of a car, the engine's timing system is like the beating of the heart, controlling the ignition and power sequence of each cylinder to ensure that the engine runs efficiently and smoothly. The timing sensor gun, as an important tool for the detection and maintenance of this system, has become an indispensable assistant for automobile maintenance technicians due to its high accuracy and convenience. Timing sensor gun, also known as ignition timing detector or timing gun, is a professional equipment specially used to detect engine ignition timing. By sensing signals when the engine is running, it accurately measures and displays key parameters such as ignition advance angle, speed, closing angle, etc., helping technicians quickly judge the status of the engine timing system and providing accurate basis for subsequent maintenance and adjustments.
2. Working principle
The working principle of the timing induction gun is based on electromagnetic induction and signal processing technology. When the engine is running, the spark plug of one cylinder sparks and generates an electrical signal. The timing sensor gun captures this signal through its built-in sensor and converts it into visual data. At the same time, the timing sensor gun is also equipped with a flash light or LED indicator light to synchronously display the position of the engine timing mark, allowing technicians to visually observe the size of the ignition advance angle.
