The Balance Gauge: An innovative car body measuring tool developed based on field expertise.
Due to its practicality, this is a car body measuring instrument
that can be used on a daily basis for all kinds of car body measurements.
The two key features underlying its practicality.
Compass shape
The unique compass shape and adjustable angle of the gauge’s tip enable measurement in previously inaccessible areas and even facilitate measurements between points obstructed by obstacles.
Magnetic ball-shaped tip
Due to the spherical ball-shaped measuring base point being magnetically attached, the measuring base point tip remains in place situationally regardless of the angle. Consequently, it can access positions that were previously inaccessible. Furthermore, operators can achieve precise measurements by solely focusing their attention on the final measuring point.
Key Features of “The Balance Gauge”
Secure a magnet cap or similar attachment device to the starting point of measurement. Determine and mark the desired endpoint to be measured, and then begin the measurement process by spreading the gauge body on the compass.
You can set it up in hard-to-reach locations, adjust the direction of the points, and place them in any other desired spot.
The undamaged side of a vehicle can serve as a reference template for the damaged side. By initially measuring and aligning the gauge based on the undamaged side, it can be seamlessly transferred to the damaged side to assess any variations or discrepancies.
By utilizing the ball-shaped magnetic base point, operators can effortlessly achieve precise measurements by solely focusing on the endpoint.
The gauge itself weights a mere 650g, making it light weight and fatigue-free even during extended usage. Additionally, its specially designed carry case offers efficient space-saving, ensuring hassle-free storage. Its exceptional portability allows for easy transportation, making it ideal for on-site quotations.
By effortlessly avoiding obstacles and selecting measurement points, this device accurately measures the straight-line distance between two points, even in previously challenging locations. Its precision allows for accurate measurements of desired linear points, and it also offers the potential for creative adaptations in 3D measurements.
