The Contact Evolution measuring system - the only one of its kind in the world - represents an electronic system projected towards the future of engineering. Born from the basic principles of a calibration machine, it has enormous potential for development and further future applications. We recently added a function to allow measurement of the external panels of the vehicle (with wheels on the ground!) With mechanics mounted. Thanks to its sophisticated and advanced software and hardware, it can guarantee maximum measurement accuracy (+/- 0.5 mm over a length of 5.4 meters).
• Lightweight boom: 2.7m length for 5.4m extension • Aluminum and carbon fiber construction • 5-axis movement • Bluetooth communication (cable available) • Guided and talking system • Battery on board, without cables • Height-adjustable mobile telescopic tripod • Diagnosis can be saved, printed or emailed • Can be used with any bench or two-post lift • No adapters and / or extensions are required • Can be used on the bench together with templates • Each joint has 40,000 positions
Ground measurement
Car Bench Contact Evolution's latest measurement software allows the operator to quickly measure a vehicle to properly diagnose and identify damage without lifting the vehicle or placing it on a jig bench. This process ensures a successful first inspection by reducing additional estimates. This process will take a maximum of 7 minutes.
The global insurance market today does not allow much time for bodyshops to make a correct estimate due to the long preparation times required. Vehicles must be taken on a lift in a busy environment, lifted, stripped of plastic guards and covers, measured, all guards and covers must be put back and the vehicle lowered again (not to mention removing the doors to obtain the lateral measurements of the vehicle which alone would take about 2 hours per side).
In addition, it is necessary to measure the first check on the aluminum turrets when the car is resting on the floor with suspension in tension to detect any cracks in the structure and not to be raised from the ground. Only Contact Evolution is able to carry out this task without unnecessary extensions, adapters and tolerances that these could possibly introduce. Finally, given its compact size, Contact Evolution can be taken to the vehicle no matter where it is, even if it is in the middle of a road, for true instant measurement.
All the above functionalities of the Contact Evolution software have been developed by working in close and confidential collaboration with numerous and prestigious OEMs who are already moving in this direction for the future. Lifting a vehicle for damage assessment will no longer be a requirement soon.
