Corghi Exact 60 Manual |top| Site

The Corghi Exact 60 is a legacy CCD wheel alignment system known for its durability and precision in professional automotive workshops. While newer 3D systems have become common, the Exact 60 remains a staple due to its reliable infrared sensor technology and user-friendly interface.

Below is a comprehensive guide to its operation and maintenance, based on technical specifications and standard Corghi procedures. Core Features of the Corghi Exact 60

The system is built around a central unit and four measuring sensors (headboards) that use infrared CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) technology to calculate alignment angles. corghi exact 60 manual

Measurement Accuracy: Features goniometers and inclinometers to measure toe, camber, and caster with high precision.

Software Interface: Operates on the "EXACT" software platform, typically housed in a wheeled cabinet with a professional PC and monitor. The Corghi Exact 60 is a legacy CCD

Database: Includes a vast vehicle databank for passenger cars and light commercial vehicles. Operating Procedures (Manual Summary)

The standard workflow for the Corghi Exact 60 involves several critical steps to ensure accurate data. 1. Vehicle Setup and Pre-Check Routine maintenance (daily/weekly)

Before mounting sensors, ensure the vehicle is in a condition suitable for alignment: Check tire pressure and tread wear. Inspect suspension components for excessive play.

Position the vehicle on a level lift and center the front wheels on turntables. 2. Mounting Sensors and ROC

Mount the four CCD sensors onto the wheels using self-centering brackets (standard 10" to 21", expandable to 26").

ROC (Run Out Compensation): This procedure is mandatory to eliminate errors caused by rim distortion or mounting unevenness. In the manual procedure, you must rotate the wheel to the positions indicated by the software. 3. Measurement Process EXACT 6000 Aligner Assistance Manual | PDF | Floppy Disk


Routine maintenance (daily/weekly)

  • Daily: Clean turntable and tools; inspect clamps and duckhead.
  • Weekly: Check and top hydraulic/oil levels; lubricate pivot points.
  • Monthly: Inspect hoses/fittings; check foot pedal return springs.
  • Replace worn duckhead/demount inserts and clamp pads as needed.

Step 5: Applying Correction Weights

  1. Open the hood.
  2. The display will show two values:
    • Inner Plane (Left number): Unbalance on the inside of the wheel.
    • Outer Plane (Right number): Unbalance on the outside of the wheel.
  3. Positioning: Rotate the wheel by hand slowly. The displays usually have position indicators (LEDs that rotate around a circle). When the LED is at the top (12 o'clock position), that is the spot for the weight.
  4. Attachment:
    • Clip-on weights: Hammer the weight onto the rim flange at the indicated position.
    • Adhesive weights: Peel the backing and stick the weight on the inner/outer rim surface as per the selected ALU mode.

3.2 Bead Breaking (First side)

  1. Release the swing arm lock and position the bead breaker disc 2–3 mm from the rim edge.
  2. Press the green hydraulic pedal (bead breaker advance). The disc pushes the tire sidewall down off the rim seat.
  3. Release the pedal; the disc automatically returns.
  4. Rotate the rim 90° and repeat until the entire bead is broken on both sides of the tire.

Step 3: Selecting Balancing Mode

  • Standard (Steel): For wheels where weights are clipped onto the edges.
  • ALU (Alloy): For wheels requiring adhesive weights on the inner or outer face. Press the ALU key to cycle through available configurations (ALU-1, ALU-2, etc.) depending on where you plan to stick the weights.
