Measuring instruments for the automotive industry

End-of-line inspection, design validation, batch qualification: Capelec provides manufacturers, equipment suppliers and subcontractors with reliable, reproducible and traceable instruments, designed and manufactured in France — and adaptable to your production environment.

Measurement solutions integrated into industrial processes

Manufacturers, equipment suppliers, subcontractors: industrial players require reliable measurements at very different stages of their production chain — design validation, end-of-line inspection, batch qualification, endurance testing.

Our instruments are well-suited to these applications because they are designed for repeated and documented use, and because we have full control over their electronics and software, enabling their seamless integration into an existing production environment.

Reproducibility and traceability

In an industrial context, an isolated result is of little value: it is the ability to reproduce the measurement under the same conditions, and to keep a record of it, that counts.

Integration with existing systems

Our in-house expertise in software and electronic circuit boards enables us to adapt data exchanges to work with your production or quality control tools, rather than imposing a closed system.

A culture of end-of-line inspection

We apply to our own production the very standards we sell: our ISO 9001-certified quality system is based on an end-of-line inspection that checks and validates each device before dispatch.

Adaptability

An industrial requirement is defined in terms of the quantity to be measured, the expected accuracy, the throughput rate and integration constraints.

Our design office develops the mechanical, electronic and embedded software components in-house. It is this integration that enables the customisations required by these projects — a test bench configuration, a data interface or a specific measurement procedure.

A significant proportion of our business is dedicated to research and development, in collaboration with universities and research institutes specialising in pollution control, lighting and embedded electronics technologies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can Capelec adapt equipment to meet industrial requirements?

Yes. Capelec’s in-house design office develops the mechanical components, measurement electronics, optics and embedded software. This integrated approach enables the customisations required by industrial projects: a specific test bench configuration, a data interface or a particular measurement procedure.

Are the measurements reproducible and traceable?

Capelec instruments are designed for repeated and documented use. In-house software development enables us to adapt data exchange to work with your production or quality control tools, rather than imposing a closed system.

What equipment is required for end-of-line testing?

The CAP2900 robotic headlamp beamsetter is designed for end-of-line inspections; brake testers, suspension testers and skid testers, as well as emissions analysers, complement the tests depending on the product manufactured.

Is Capelec’s production certified?

Yes. Capelec’s industrial organisation is ISO 9001:2015 certified, and each device is inspected and validated at the end of the production line before dispatch.
