CloseMOT – Light vehicles
Cars, light commercial vehicles and corporate fleets account for the bulk of a vehicle inspection centre’s workload. Discover Capelec’s range of equipment designed specifically for light vehicle inspection centres and repair workshops.
Passenger cars, light commercial vehicles, company cars: this is the segment with the highest volumes, where turnaround time directly determines the centre’s profitability. Every step in the process that is avoided and every instance of re-entry that is eliminated translates into more vehicles being inspected.
Our light vehicle inspection equipment is designed with this in mind: high-performance and space-saving, the systems operate seamlessly, with clear interfaces and results transmitted to the data entry workstation via a secure connection.
An increasingly diverse fleet
Petrol, diesel, hybrid, LPG, electric: a light vehicle testing centre now handles a wide variety of engine types in a single day. The configuration of the emissions test bay must take this into account, otherwise the centre risks having to turn vehicles away or improvise procedures.
Lighting systems are becoming increasingly complex
LED, matrix and adaptive headlight systems are becoming increasingly common in newer vehicles. Adjusting them requires a headlight alignment unit with a CCD camera that is compatible with halogen, xenon, LED and AFS systems, operating within a correctly sized measurement area.
Devices that evolve in line with protocols
The modular design of our equipment allows us to keep pace with regulatory changes through software updates, without having to replace the device.
This is the area most affected by regulatory changes. Multi-gas analysers, opacimeters and combined units ensure reliable and rapid measurement and data transmission for all engine types tested.
Combined gas analysers and opacimeters allow a mixed fleet to be processed at a single workstation, using a single interface — a significant time-saver when petrol and diesel vehicles alternate throughout the day.
Roller brake testers are suitable for most civil engineering chassis. Robust and easy to use thanks to their remote control and touchscreen, they feature scalable test procedure software.
They are complemented by skid plates, play plates and suspension test benches, as well as a headlamp aligner for checking the light beam. Together, these form the line along which the vehicle travels, station by station.
A centre’s performance does not stem from the isolated performance of each piece of equipment, but from how they work together: the layout of the workstations, the movement of the vehicle, and the automatic transmission of measurements to the data entry station.
This is why we approach a light vehicle project by looking at the operations and the premises before considering the product range: the same equipment can result in very different turnaround times depending on its layout.
A complete light vehicle production line comprises four families of equipment, which we supply either separately or as a complete line.
