Multi Point Pulling Of Car And Truck Frames. So What Is It?
As modern vehicles have evolved, so have the requirements for their repairs. Cars and trucks are now designed with meticulous precision and close tolerances, and the corresponding repairs demand exactitude in the restoration process. One crucial strategy in this restoration journey involves pulling the vehicle's frame at multiple key points Simultaneously, a technique known as "multi-point pulling."
Here, we provide authoritative insights on leveraging your frame-straightening equipment for an effective "Multiple Simultaneous Pulling With Equalized Pressure" Advantage. It is a rather scientific way of vehicle structural straightening by reversing the damage exactly the way it became misaligned. This multiple simultaneous pulling method provides a host of advantages and time savings in the production process.
1. Equip Yourself With An Effective Frame Machine
Your frame rack should be robust enough and designed to provide multi-point frame straightening. A full-sized frame rack with at least two pulling towers sets an ideal basic stage for this. The towers' ability to traverse the entire rack perimeter and their adjustable collars for limitless pulling angles make them indispensable. Extra rams and down-pull attachments can further help to focus corrective force precisely where required. American Freedom Frame Machines accomplish this with a hand-held button-controlled unit that activates all towers to pull simultaneously with equalized pressure. In the hands of a seasoned auto body repair tech, they can essentially reverse the damage exactly as it was misaligned.

2. Measurement is Key
Pre-repair measurements provide accurate estimates and help detect any concealed damage. Innovative Live Measuring Documentation systems save time by measuring the entire vehicle simultaneously and guiding the setup process. For newer vehicles with aluminum components, use aluminum collet attachments, as traditional magnetic attachments won't work, and steel ones could corrode the metal. Pro Line Systems is a distributor of the American Freedom line of frame machines that provides this essential quality.
3. Secure Anchoring
Proper vehicle anchoring to the frame rack is crucial to avoid pull-diminishing flex and potential frame damage. Ideal anchoring points are usually the four corners of the vehicle's center section due to their strength and alignment control. Consider adding supplemental holding components such as the Body Loc Truck Frame Vise Clamps for full-frame vehicles and truck frames for multi-point pulling.
4. Real-time Dimension Monitoring
During a multi-point pull, frames can move in multiple directions simultaneously. A multiple-point Live measuring system is capable of tracking all dimensional changes in real time, this is an essential advantage and is highly recommended in the industry. Combined with up-to-date vehicle repair data, this system will pinpoint frame deviations, enabling accurate pulls and assuring alignment with OEM specs. The Eclipse 3D Laser Live Measuring System does this flawlessly in real time.
