When the outcome of body repairs can have a profound impact on vehicle safety, accuracy is a vital starting point in the repair process.
Fast and precise upper and lower body measurements are the groundwork from which repairers can pursue quality repairs.
Car-O-Liner with its global reputation for dependability, has shown this important step does not have to happen at the expense of efficiency in the workshop.
Advanced and accurate
The Car-O-Tronic Advanced System has built a reputation as one the fastest, most accurate and easiest three-dimensional measuring system available on the automotive repair market.
Car-O-Liner brings a sophisticated measuring system into the workshop that has a simple objective; to raise the quality of every diagnosis, that in turn will deliver shorter cycle times and increase workshop efficiency and profitability.
The system begins with the hardware; the advanced Car-O-Tronic measuring slide equipped with sensors that also has built-in remote controls that can deliver data in real time, three times per second.
Car-O-Liner’s renowned innovation and experience with workshop equipment is reflected in the design, its compatibly with any alignment bench and its ease of use including ease in moving around, changing batteries and smart-LED light to indicate correct measure points.
Once in place the Car-O-Tronic measuring slide then delivers real-time data to the easy- to-use Vision2 software.
Car-O-Tronic links wirelessly with the Vision2 software and in turn, can be linked to the Car-O-Data information system, giving access to a comprehensive data base on the majority of vehicle models and makes.
A major advantage of this wireless system is technicians can manage the entire measuring process without having to be at the computer.
Vision2 measuring software
Car-O-Tronic communicates wirelessly with Vision2, Car-O-Liner’s state-of-the-art measuring software that guides the entire repair process and performs automatic centring, measuring and documentation.
Vision2 comes in three versions beginning with the basic X1 System for lower-body measuring and the X2 for lower- and upper-body measuring and includes a high measurement point adapter. The X3 can be used for upper-body point-to-point measuring on vehicles, including full frames, light trucks and SUV’s and has multiple features including a suspension diagnosis check, to find bent suspension parts during the repair process, as well as surface damage diagnosis.
The worldwide VIN decoding system integrates with the world’s largest vehicle dimension database and has multimedia support for the EVO universal system for anchoring, fixturing and holding.
Any vehicle, any time
The Car-O-Data subscription service covers nearly all new and updated vehicles – presently more than 16,500 models in total – and consistently provides access to current and reliable measurement data.
The vehicle measurement data service also generates updates for about 300 new vehicles per year. The Car-O-Data Index, accessible from the Info Centre menu, allows the system to update the workshop’s vehicle database instantaneously over the Internet. New interim data sheets and reference data for numerous new and old vehicle makes including model, body code, wheelbase, year are updated and available for downloading regularly .
The new vehicles are measured and compiled continuously by the dedicated international Car-O-Data team working in cooperation with automotive manufacturers around the world.
The database is also image based to ensure easier location of correct measuring points. Other advanced features include animated set- and clamping positions for easy and accurate mounting while holding and anchoring data.
