Corghi Exact Linear: measure the car before you sell the job Most alignment systems start the same way - jack the car, clamp four heads onto four rims, compensate, and only then fi nd out whether the vehicle needs anything. The Exact Linear changes the order of those steps. Its pre-check runs touchless and clampless: nothing is attached to a wheel, no clamp goes near a painted or machined rim, and the technician gets a reading before the job is committed. That single change is what this page is built around, because it is the one that alters how an alignment bay earns money. Consider what a clampless pre-check makes possible. A car arriving for a tire fitting can be rolled through and measured in the time it takes to write the ticket. A customer who says the steering pulls can be shown a screen instead of a quote. And the shop stops spending twenty minutes of clamped setup on vehicles that turn out to be within tolerance. The alignment itself is still a full, clamped, precise job - the pre-check simply stops being part of the sales conversation and starts being evidence. What it is The Exact Linear is a camera-based, three-dimensional aligner using a pair of high-resolution cameras to read all four wheels at once. It reports the angles a technician actually adjusts, tracks them live while the adjustment is being made, and compensates for run-out dynamically so that a bent rim or a worn hub does not quietly poison the reading. Sensor communication can be wireless over industrial radio or wired where the shop environment makes a cable the more dependable choice, and the same machine supports both rather than forcing the decision at purchase. Who it suits Tire shops adding alignment - the pre-check converts existing traffic into alignment work without lengthening the visit. General repair shops where alignment is one of several services and the operator changes from week to week; the guided software matters more here than raw speed. Dealership service departments facing driver-assistance calibration work, since the platform is compatible with Corghi's universal calibration tooling for camera, radar and lidar systems. High-volume alignment specialists who care about how many cars pass through a bay in a day rather than how any single measurement is taken. Planning the bay A camera aligner is a bay decision, not a machine decision. The cameras need a clear, unobstructed sightline to the wheels for the whole length of the measurement, which means thinking about where the column stands relative to the lift, where people walk, and what gets parked in the line of sight on a busy afternoon. The system is designed to work over a lift or a pit, and the sensor heads are built for the knocks of a working shop, with optical filtering that keeps ambient light from corrupting a reading. What we cannot tell you from our own records is the floor space this configuration occupies, the ceiling height it wants, or its electrical requirement - those figures are not in our product data, and we would rather say so than publish a number you might pour concrete around. Ask us and we will get the installation drawing from the manufacturer. Confirming that your bay, your slab and your supply are suitable remains your responsibility, and it is far cheaper to establish before delivery than after. The software is the part you live with Alignment hardware tends to be compared on optics and specifications, but the operator spends the day inside the software. This platform is a refinement of Corghi's established alignment interface: selectable tutorials for procedures a technician does not run every week, live graphical readouts while the adjustment is being turned, warnings when a value leaves the specification limits, and prompts to recheck where a recheck is needed. Results can be stored against a customer or a vehicle and printed for the file - which is what turns a completed alignment into something you can hand across the counter. The vehicle specification database covers tens of thousands of models and can be expanded as new vehicles appear. Firmware and database updates are applied as they are released, which is the honest answer to how long a system like this stays useful: as long as its data keeps up. Calibration and upkeep The system ships calibrated from the factory. After installation it needs periodic checking rather than routine recalibration, the optics and mechanical parts are reachable for cleaning, and the software walks the technician through the calibration sequence rather than assuming prior knowledge. That is worth weighing against systems whose calibration is a service call. Certification, stated honestly Our product record for this system lists no third-party safety or performance certification. That is an absence in our data rather than a finding that no such document exists - the manufacturer may hold approvals we do not have on file. We are not going to imply one either way. If a specific certification is required by your insurer, your franchise agreement or a local inspector, tell us which one before you order and we will get a written answer from the manufacturer rather than leave you to discover the gap at installation. Shipping and delivery This system ships freight within the lower 48 states, quoted live at checkout so the figure reflects today's rates rather than a stale estimate. You need to be able to take it off the truck - a dock, a forklift, or a terminal pickup arranged with the carrier. Residential delivery carries an additional fee, shown at checkout before you pay. Inspect everything at delivery and write any damage on the bill of lading before signing. A clean signature closes the door on a freight claim, however clear the damage looks the following morning. Warranty Our product data does not state the warranty term for this system, so we are not going to summarise one. The warranty claims page covers how a claim is opened with us, and we will confirm the manufacturer's current terms in writing before you order if you ask. One rule holds regardless of the terms: do not open up a unit before a claim is filed. Self-diagnosis is the most common way a valid claim becomes an invalid one. Record the fault, contact us, and let the claim start before anything is disassembled. CORGHI EXACT LINEAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT SYSTEM The Corghi Exact Linear Plus 3D Wheel Alignment System is built for workshops that want state-of-the-art alignment performance with maximum flexibility and ease of use. With its camera-based alignment technology, this system brings precision, speed, and expandability to modern vehicle servicing. From the moment a vehicle arrives, the alignment process is made smoother by features such as clampless sensor operation, intelligent software support, and the ability to handle even advanced driver assistance systems calibrations. At its core, the Exact Linear Plus 3D system uses a pair of high resolution “HI-Q” cameras in a 3D format to capture alignment data from all four wheels quickly and accurately. This dual camera design enables live angle tracking and compensates for run-out dynamically, eliminating errors caused by hub or wheel irregularities. The system reads values such as camber, caster, toe, thrust angle, and cumulative alignment metrics, offering the technician real-time feedback while adjustments are made. Its intuitive interface helps guide the operator step by step, ensuring that even complex adjustments can be completed confidently. One standout characteristic of the system is its wireless capability. Using 2.4 GHz industrial radio technology, the sensors can communicate wirelessly with the main processing unit, reducing cable clutter and improving efficiency in tight workshop environments. Despite the wireless capability, the system retains support for wired connections for added reliability in challenging signal environments. This hybrid approach ensures that no matter the layout or shop constraints, the Exact Linear Plus 3D remains functional and dependable. The software architecture is based on a refined version of Corghi’s Exact Plus platform, delivering both visual clarity and operational control. It runs on a Windows Embedded base and features selectable tutorials, real-time graphical indicators, and a built-in vehicle specification database covering tens of thousands of different models. The technician can recall custom settings, store alignment results by customer or vehicle, and generate printouts with ease. The display shows live adjustment values, warns when out of spec limits, and directs rechecks where needed, helping to reduce rework and improve throughput. Physically, the wheel alignment system is engineered to integrate seamlessly with lifts or pits. The camera housing and sensor heads are robust enough to endure typical shop conditions. The Exact Linear Plus 3D system supports touchless and clampless pre-check alignments, meaning no wheel clamps or contact with rims are required during initial scanning. This reduces risk of scratching or damaging wheels, and speeds the pre-alignment process. Every measurement is processed with differential image techniques to compensate for ambient reflections, lighting changes, and slight movements, increasing reliability even in difficult lighting conditions. Beyond traditional alignment tasks, the system is ready for future calibration needs linked to advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS). It is compatible with Corghi’s PROADAS universal calibration tools, enabling the same platform to support camera, radar, and lidar calibration tasks as required by many modern vehicles. This future-proof capability extends the system’s usefulness as vehicle technology evolves. Maintenance and calibration are made simple. The system ships factory calibrated, and after installation only periodic checks and calibration are required. The optical and mechanical parts are easily accessible for cleaning, and the software includes routines to guide the technician through calibration sequences. Firmware updates and specification database expansions can be applied when needed, ensuring the system stays current with evolving vehicle models and standards. The Corghi Exact Linear Plus 3D Wheel Alignment System offers a compelling balance of performance, automation, and expandability for alignment shops that want to stay ahead in a rapidly changing automotive landscape. Its combination of wireless intelligence, precise optics, guided software, and ADAS readiness makes it a professional choice for accurate, high throughput alignment operations.
