Help Identify Alignment Tool

I've reached out to Racetec repeatedly, but they're not interested in responding. Which leads me to believe this is proprietary but figured someone might know.

Looks like a string alignment system with built in measurements from the front / rear of the rim and adjustable to set height and distance from
Hub center. I'd love one of these!

Whomp… It seems a much faster to setup and read measurements vs smart strings.

I know it's turn plates on platform. It's the alignment tool itself that's exciting.

This is very different from the common box string systems (eg. Smart Strings).

Thanks - Someone on Instagram found them and shared it. But this is great to update everyone.

Another option that I've been using is from CSM. Believe they give discounts to nasa members too. Made in the US too if you care about that. The customer support is awesome.

Yes, those are incredible. Just outside of my budget.

Do you have the leveling stands too or is your garage perfectly level?
