The Mercedes-Benz Adapter Kit EVO System represents a significant advancement in automotive repair technology, specifically designed to enhance the precision and efficiency of Mercedes-Benz vehicle bodywork. This comprehensive system, developed by Car-O-Liner, is engineered for professional auto body technicians who demand the highest standards in structural repair.
At the heart of this system lies the EVO universal anchoring, holding, and fixturing concept. The Mercedes Evo system is intelligently divided into three complementary kits – EVO 1, EVO 2, and EVO 3 – each designed with a specific function, yet seamlessly integrated to tackle a wide spectrum of repair challenges. These kits can be utilized independently or in conjunction, providing unparalleled versatility for any repair scenario your workshop encounters. The modular design ensures that a limited number of components delivers maximum utility, streamlining the repair process and saving valuable time. The EVO system’s vise-like grip at multiple anchoring points eliminates the need for extra pull towers and chains, further optimizing repair time.
Decoding the Mercedes EVO System Components
EVO 1 Basic Anchoring: This foundational kit serves as the cornerstone for anchoring, holding, and providing essential side support during structural repairs. EVO 1 includes three robust towers, a multi-purpose clamp for diverse applications, a track plate for stability, an adapter with bushings for precise fitting, a chain holder for secure pulling, a downpull for vertical force application, and a torque bar designed for heavy-duty operations. EVO 1 provides the essential tools for initiating and managing complex structural repairs.
EVO 2 Extended Anchoring: Expanding upon the capabilities of EVO 1, the EVO 2 kit provides additional equipment to further enhance anchoring, holding, and side support during intricate structural repairs. EVO 2 adds two extra pull towers and track plates for increased anchoring points and stability. It also incorporates specialized tools tailored for rear axle bracket work, torque bar extensions for extended reach and leverage, and adjustable holders for versatile positioning. EVO 2 is the ideal enhancement to EVO 1, facilitating the efficient handling of even the most advanced and complex repair procedures on Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
EVO 3 Holding and Fixturing: EVO 3 is specifically engineered for creating custom fixtures to securely hold new components in place during critical processes such as welding, bonding, or riveting. When combined with EVO 1 and EVO 2, and further enhanced by the Car-O-Tronic Vision2 X3 electronic measuring system, the complete Mercedes EVO system becomes a comprehensive solution adaptable to all Mercedes-Benz models. EVO 3 includes adjustable fixture heads for precise positioning, lockable universal joints for flexible angles, a secure lock handle, and an all-purpose mini-clamp designed for frame rails, inner fenders, and strut towers. This kit is crucial for ensuring perfect alignment and secure holding during component replacement and joining.
