Starters and alternators
DIAGNOSTIC EQUIPMENT FOR STARTERS AND ALTERNATORS
The repair of the starters and the alternators is a popular service at the automotive market due to the several reasons:
- the repair is more financially attractive to a client, besides, the repaired units are as reliable as the new ones;
- the mentioned units fail quite often – in a view of the ambient atmosphere impact, the fair wear and tear, or the mistakes during a vehicle operation;
- the repair of the starters and the alternators is not complicated and doesn’t require many special tools, besides, the components are mostly always available.
The alternator of a modern car – rather complex unit integrated into the car board network by a digital bus, and controlled through the different protocols. For that reason, the diagnostics of the modern alternators requires the usage of the special equipment.
The design of a starter, in comparison to an alternator, remains mostly the same all the time, yet, the diagnostics of its electric elements (electric motor and solenoid valve) cannot be effected without the special devices.
MSG Equipment offers the special equipment line for the diagnostics of the starters and the alternators that solves three tasks:
Express diagnostics – without unit dismounting
This equipment line can check if the unit operates well and if there’s need to dismount it from a car to find out the failure reason and for the further repair.
Diagnostics of the dismounted units
This line includes the test benches that make it possible to reveal the defected unit assembly and make the control test after the repair to be sure in its quality.
Diagnostics of the unit assemblies
The testers of this line checks the unit assemblies: diode bridges, stator winding coils, voltage regulators, starter solenoid valve. The testers are used when the diagnostics of the unit is not possible at the test bench due to the mechanical damages of the unit. That’s why the unit is dismantled first to enable the diagnostics of its assemblies. It eliminates the multiple disassembling/assembling of the units to find the failed unit assemblies.
The software that is updated free of charge allows the equipment remain relevant during the entire equipment life span.
When you buy the equipment from MSG Equipment, you get the costless technical support during the warranty period as well as once it ends.
MSG Equipment also offers the training course ‘Diagnostics and repair of starters and alternators’. Completing the course, you’ll know how to test the mentioned units with the usage of the modern equipment and how to recover their performance capacity.
