There is a frequent request in the Internet: what diagnostic equipment is essential for automotive service centers? And it is not surprising because owners of contemporary service centers understand that quality service, time saving and professional approach are the most important factors for customers. This needs can be covered if you hire experienced specialists and equip the enterprise with diagnostic test benches and testers. Let us consider several offers on an example of MSG Equipment inventions.
What does the test bench for starters and alternators look like?
To conduct quality alternator and starter test, the equipment should imply a wide range of functions, easy control and protection from getting injuries and electric shock. Our alternator test benches MS002 COM and MS004 COM have such properties.
The former is a floor equipment (for testing any alternators starting from small cars to trucks and buses). The latter is a table and a smaller version (for testing electric units with a lower power). This equipment gives an opportunity to diagnose starters and alternator voltage regulators and alternator itself and to detect malfunctions which caused irregular work or failure of electric part of start-up and power-feeding mechanisms. How can a starter be tested? The process of testing units is simple enough and consists of the following stages:
- starter/alternator /voltage regulator mounting on the operating platform;
- fixing and connecting to the test bench terminals;
- selection of settings on the display or the control panel;
- result recording
On the screen you will see the main operating characteristics of the vehicle electric assembly which will help to determine the cause of possible malfunctions.
Everything is simple, fast and informative!
What equipment for diagnostics and repair of air conditioners does exist?
To check air of cars, the best solution would be to buy a special air conditioning testing equipment avoiding the use of lots of various measuring instruments. With such equipment you get reliable diagnostic results of the unit having spent a minimum of time and effort.
For example, AC recovery machine MS111 can easily help you assess the condition of compressors in general, as well as check operation of the control valve and clutch of rotary, spiral, piston and axial-piston compressors. This air conditioning test rig can also pump out the refrigerant, vacuum the climate system. Moreover, bench test auto AC compressor has the function of storing and printing the results of testing which is very convenient when reporting to the client. The whole process of testing the compressor will take several minutes.
If customers of your car service would like to clean the climate system, you will offer a flushing stand MS101P. This mobile and compact equipment will clean the pipeline and all hard-to-reach places of the air conditioning system for 1-5 runs it will make the whole system work perfectly! All that is needed is a removable filters and flushing liquid.
In the future, we plan to produce other equipment for auto-conditioners. For novelties follow on our site servicems.eu.
Use of the test bench for shock absorbers
Diagnostics of shock absorbers is a young but very demanded direction provided by automotive service centers. After all, expensive cars demand expensive spare parts and to repair the original shock absorber is cheaper than to buy a new one.
If you receive a failed shock absorber of any type, you will be able to estimate its performance on the shock absorber testing machine MS1000+. The shock absorber test bench has two control modes - manual and automatic, reliably fixes the unit while testing, checks it under load, and records testing results.
A business on repair of shock absorbers is a profitable and still less competitive one, so the financial investment in the test bench will pay off fairly quickly. Diagnostic equipment for cars of such a level as shock absorber test rig MS1000+ are produced abroad only at a much higher price!
Use of the test bench for brake calipers
How to check the brake caliper performance quickly? We have already solved this problem by inventing the test bench MS300. It combined both a workbench and a diagnostic tool for testing calipers under load. Also MS300 can test operation of the electromechanical parking brake actuator. The main advantages of this equipment are high functionality and economy of the workshop space.
Test bench for power steering system
Repair of power steering system is one of the most popular services provided by automotive repair shops. In this niche MSG Equipment presents several variants of power steering testers for steering racks and gears, single- and double-circuit power steering pumps. You can buy both stationary stands (power steering testing machine MS502M, power steering pump tester MS604) and mobile (MS505, MS603N). Such equipment will help to determine such malfunctions of hydraulic power units as leak of hydraulic fluid, hanging of the pressure reducing valve, wear of oil seals, sealing cups and other components. Besides, power steering pressure tester MS603N is not only a diagnostic, but also a flushing stand. It cleans the power steering system of harmful impurities and heavy deposits increasing its resistance to breakage.
Peculiarities of testing of electric power steering racks
Electric power steering raks, columns and pumps are gaining popularity with automotive manufacturers because they have improved performance and maintainability. When installing them, there is no need to use hydraulic fluid, which means that problems with leak are no longer actual. However, electric units can also fail and you will need a specialized equipment to diagnose them and we have it as well.
We have the Controller MS561? it tests EPS units, simulating operation of a car in real conditions.
7 minutes and you know everything about failures of electric power steering system! You can set different loads while monitoring various parameters of the unit operation. Connect the diagnostic scanner and read all the errors of the EPS control module which emerged in the process of operation in the vehicle. By the way, to test the units, you do not have to dismantle them from the car. Software update and vehicle database can be obtained via the Internet and completely free of charge. And it means that MS561 is the equipment for diagnostics of EPS system suitable for all brands of cars.
Now you know which professional diagnostic equipment should be placed in the workshop if you consider yourself to be a successful entrepreneur with the maximum number of customers and the minimum number of competitors.
You can buy MSG Equipment test benches in any convenient way. Feel free to contact us.
