Corghi Exact 70 Wheel Alignment System

The Exact 70 uses eight camera sensor heads rather than the four most alignment systems get by with, and the whole case for the machine follows from that. With cameras reading the front and the rear of the vehicle at the same time, there is no repositioning step and no second scan - the measurement is taken once, from every wheel, and the technician moves straight to adjusting. On a bay doing volume, the time saved is not in the measurement itself but in everything that no longer has to happen around it.

It is a wired-or-wireless system, and that is a genuine either-or rather than a paid upgrade. Sensor heads communicate over industrial-grade radio when you want to be free of cables, and run wired when the shop environment argues for a physical connection. Anyone who has fought radio interference in a building full of running machinery will recognise why keeping both options on the same hardware matters.

What it measures, and how it guides the technician

The system reads the angles that alignment work actually turns on - toe, camber, caster, thrust angle and setback - at high resolution, and it runs on Corghi's established alignment software platform. The interface is built to lead rather than merely display: animated cursors and colour indicators show at a glance whether a value sits inside its permitted range, and the guidance walks a technician through the procedure step by step.

That guidance is worth more than it sounds. Alignment is a job many shops do intermittently, by whoever is free, and the gap between the technician who does it daily and the one who does it monthly is where comebacks come from. Software that narrows that gap changes the economics of offering the service at all.

Run-out compensation, and why it is not optional

A wheel that is slightly bent, or a hub that is worn, will report an angle that the car does not actually have. Compensating for that is the difference between an alignment and a number. The Exact 70 offers several run-out compensation methods - push-pull, two-point and three-point, and single-sensor - so the technician can use the one that suits the vehicle and the lift rather than being locked into a single routine. It also supports manual toe curve measurement and adjustment for work where loading conditions and dynamic behaviour have to be accounted for.

Built for the floor it stands on

The sensor heads are constructed for daily handling: protective housings, and optical filtering that keeps bright ambient light from corrupting a reading, which matters in any bay with a roller door open onto direct sun. The hardware is designed to tolerate vibration, temperature swings and general wear, and the system is intended to pair with an alignment lift or drive-on rack so the heads sit at a workable height without compromising accuracy.

Sensor management is part of the package rather than an afterthought. An external battery charger is supplied for the heads, and the dock holds the charging stations - which sounds mundane until you have run a bay where the heads live on a bench and one is always flat.

Room to grow into driver-assistance work

The Exact 70 is compatible with Corghi's universal calibration system, so the same platform extends to driver-assistance calibration as that work arrives in the shop. This matters for a purchase of this size: the vehicles that will be in your bays at the end of this machine's service life will need calibration work that barely existed when it was designed, and a platform that can be extended is worth more than one that cannot.

Maintenance and keeping it current

The software guides periodic checks so measurement integrity is verified rather than assumed. Sensor maintenance - cleaning the optics, verifying alignment of the heads - is accessible rather than a service call. Because the software runs on a stable embedded Windows environment, updates and data synchronisation are manageable in-house, and the vehicle specification database, which runs to many thousands of models with their specification limits, can be expanded as new vehicles appear.

Perfect For

• High-volume alignment bays, where eliminating a repositioning step from every job compounds across a week.
• Tire shops adding alignment to existing traffic, where guided software matters more than raw specification.
• General repair shops whose alignment work is done by whoever is available that day.
• Shops planning for driver-assistance work and unwilling to buy a platform that cannot follow them there.

What our data does not tell you

We would rather be straight about the gaps than publish a specification table full of plausible figures. Our record for the Exact 70 does not contain its floor space, its ceiling requirement, its electrical supply, its weight, or the sensor battery endurance. It does not say whether turnplates are included, nor how the vehicle database is kept current commercially. Those are all reasonable questions and we will get written answers from the manufacturer for any of them - just ask before you order rather than after. Confirming that your bay, your slab, your lighting and your electrical supply suit the system remains the customer's responsibility.

Certification, stated honestly

Our product record for this system lists no third-party safety or performance certification. That is an absence in our data, not a finding that no such document exists - the manufacturer may hold approvals we simply have never been sent. We will not imply a listing we cannot show you. If your insurer, a franchise standard or a local inspector requires a specific certification, tell us which one before ordering and we will obtain the manufacturer's written answer rather than leave you to find out at an audit.

Shipping and delivery

This system ships freight within the lower 48 states, with the rate quoted live at checkout so it reflects current carrier pricing rather than an estimate. You need a way to receive it - 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 the shipment before you sign for it and write any damage on the bill of lading at the point of delivery. Optical equipment does not always show freight damage from the outside, so open and check rather than signing on the strength of an intact carton.

Warranty

The warranty term for this system is not stated in our product data, so we are not going to paraphrase one. Our warranty claims page sets out 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 applies regardless: do not disassemble a sensor head or the cabinet before a claim is filed. On calibrated optical equipment, opening a unit to investigate can invalidate both the warranty and the calibration. Record the fault, contact us, and let the claim start before anything is opened.
