The present invention relates to an adjusting apparatus having an optical aimer that includes a reflector for adjusting parts of a motor vehicle, in particular distance warning radar, headlights, or an axle; having an emitting device that emits a collimated beam; and having a vertical adjusting device for orienting the reflector at a certain angle to a floor of a measuring station forming the contact plane of the vehicle. An exact vertical alignment or orientation at a certain tilt angle to the floor of the measuring station is achieved by simple measures, in that the emitting device is positioned in a vehicle region remote from the aimer, at a specific, defined level of the vehicle above the measuring-station floor and may be adjusted for emitting the beam at different elevation angles relative to a line parallel to the measuring-station floor, and the vertical adjusting device has a diaphragm unit, which is situated between the aimer and the emitting device and has a vertically adjustable diaphragm, whose level is adjustable in such a manner that the beam directed at the reflector and passing through the diaphragm passes through it again after being reflected at the reflector.

1. An adjusting apparatus, comprising:an optical aimer including a reflector for adjusting a part of a vehicle;an emitting device that emits a collimated beam; anda vertical adjusting device for orienting the reflector at a certain angle to a floor of a measuring station forming a contact plane of the vehicle, wherein:the emitting device is positioned in a vehicle region remote from the optical aimer, at a specific, defined level of the vehicle above the measuring-station floor and is capable of being adjusted for emitting the collimated beam at different elevation angles relative to a line parallel to the measuring-station floor, andthe vertical adjusting device includes a diaphragm unit situated between the optical aimer and the emitting device, the diaphragm unit including a vertically-adjustable diaphragm whose level may be adjusted such that the collimated beam directed at the reflector and passing through the vertically-adjustable diaphragm passes through the vertically-adjustable diaphragm again after being reflected at the reflector. 2. The adjusting apparatus as recited in claim 1, wherein:the part includes one of a distance warning radar, a headlight, and an axle. 3. The adjusting apparatus as recited in claim 1, wherein:the reflector is supported on a support of the optical aimer, so as to be able to swivel about a horizontal axis,the emitting device is attached to a vehicle wheel as an extension of a wheel axis, using a holding device, andthe vertically-adjustable diaphragm is positioned next to a further wheel, on another support standing up on the measuring-station floor, so as to be displaceable and securable in an adjusting position. 4. The adjusting apparatus as recited in claim 3, wherein:the vertically-adjustable diaphragm includes a horizontally running, slit diaphragm, andthe emitting device includes a laser unit.
