Stories of Millimeters: Episode 5
The Matrix Wand uses a simple, straightforward process to assist collision professionals, automotive manufacturers and insurance providers in repairing vehicles to ensure the safety and functionality is restored as the OE intended following a collision.
Safety and Evolution of Auto Design
In 2018, 92.7 percent of consumer vehicles produced included at least one Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) feature. By 2022, all vehicles manufactured in the United States will be required to have automatic braking systems.
Who We are.
Industry Experience & Expertise
Matrix is passionate about collision repair and dedicated to helping the industry improve profitability. Employing 100+ years of combined experience and expertise in the collision industry, we are prepared to serve our customers at the highest level.
Award-Winning Technology
The Matrix Wand concept emerged in 2006 from the question: “Why do we need targets?” With that question in mind, the product was designed, extensively tested and developed. In November 2012, the Matrix Wand was publicly launched at the SEMA show and quickly won the prestigious Best New Product Award for the collision repair and refinish division at the SEMA New Product Showcase.
Customer Service & In-Field Training
We understand the value of excellent customer service. Our in-field training technicians and inside customer service team are ready to answer any questions you may have, including assistance in planning, installation, on-site training, troubleshooting and maintenance.
How It Works:
The Matrix Wand is the tool of choice for body shop professionals to quickly identify hidden damage and improve work flow through the shop. Prior to the Matrix Wand, blueprinting each vehicle that arrived in the shop was time-consuming and often cost-prohibitive. Tearing down each car to find hidden damage on the frame machine consumes valuable time, labor and shop floor space. Within a matter of minutes, simple diagnostic measurements can be performed to identify hidden damage, to:
- Ensure accurate estimates the first time, to reduce supplements while increasing efficiency and profitability throughout the repair process.
- Blueprint the work to be carried out and the parts required.
- Verify the repair by comparing points to the Mitchell Reference Database, which is integrated into the FenderBolt™ Software.
- Provide documentation to insurance companies and customers, to improve customer satisfaction and reduce liability.
01
Image the Vehicle
Use the targetless handheld Matrix Wand to take 3D images of the vehicle with minimal teardown. Captured images can be used to measure:
- Suspension
- Control Arms
- Cradle Positioning
- Toe Angle
- Caster Angle
- Camber Angle
- Strut/Knuckle Symmetry
- Sensor Placement
- Gaps
02
Capture the Data
Use the proprietary FenderBolt™ Software to download the 3D images and data points to your computer. This process is quick and easy, giving you the ability to capture visible and hidden damage on the fly.
03
Measure Fast and Accurately
Use the FenderBolt™ Software to start measuring any point on the vehicle:
- Zoom in on the image and select any point you would like to measure.
- Virtual 3D measuring can see through solid objects, allowing precise measurement across any section.
- Estimate and repair more accurately by identifying “damage” areas versus “trusted” areas, or utilize the integrated Mitchell Reference Database to compare points to factory specifications.
- Compare and analyze in all three dimensions to identify hidden damage.
- Calculations from the Matrix Wand and its Repair Analysis Software are accurate within +/- 1mm, so you can be assured measurements are spot on!
04
Document and Blueprint
Document the damage to share with insurance companies and customers. Blueprint the job to assure work is carried out and parts ordered with the greatest efficiency.
05
Repair and Verify
Carry out the repair and use the Matrix Wand to assist with accuracy. This includes sensor angle positioning, hanging doors, verifying alignment, and checking suspension. Capture a final measurement to verify the car is repaired back to specification and document to minimize liability.
