An optical scanning system for measuring and/or controlling a vehicle and/or parts of a vehicle, wherein the vehicle is arranged on a support surface. The optical scanning system comprises two optical reader apparatuses, which are arranged on said support surface, on opposite sides of the vehicle, and are provided with respective optical image capturing devices configured to provide respective data/signals encoding one or more images of the vehicle, an electronic system, which is designed to process the data/signals in order to construct one or more three-dimensional images of the vehicle. The optical image reader apparatuses each comprise a calibration target, which lies on an approximately horizontal support surface and is arranged immediately adjacent to the optical image capturing device of the relative optical image reader apparatus at a predetermined distance from it.

A vehicle service system comprising a calibration apparatus, which is designed to calibrate an ADAS sensor of a vehicle, a calibration device and a position detection system, which comprises, in turn, two optical apparatuses, which are arranged on opposite sides of the vehicle and are configured to capture first images containing images of the vehicle. The optical apparatuses have respective positioning targets, which are oriented so as to face the calibration apparatus. The position detection system further comprises two cameras, which are mounted on the calibration apparatus so as to be arranged in lateral positions on opposite sides with respect to the calibration device. The two cameras are optically oriented towards the optical apparatuses so as to capture the images of the positioning targets.

Vehicle service system and operating method thereof

An air conditioning recharging machine includes a pair of flexible hoses connected to the air-conditioning system and a recharging assembly to supply a refrigerant fluid to the air-conditioning system through the flexible hoses. The machine has a discharging assembly to discharge the refrigerant fluid from the air-conditioning system and a valve distributor body, which is provided with a series of inlets/outlets hydraulically connected to the flexible hoses, to the recharging assembly and to the discharging assembly. The valve distributor body is in the form of a monobloc made of rigid material which is provided with straight inner through-ducts, each of which extends in the monobloc so as to have the two axial ends which are arranged on two respective faces of said monobloc opposite one to the other, and are each closed by a respective solenoid valve coupled to the face itself.

An anchoring system designed to anchor a position detector on a support plane in a predetermined lateral position relative to a vehicle. The anchoring system comprises a positioning plate, which is firmly fixed on the support plane in the predetermined lateral position, a flat base, which is firmly fixed to the position detector and is designed, in use, to be laid on the positioning plate, magnetic devices, which are arranged on the flat base and on the positioning plate and are structured so as to magnetically attract one another so as to firmly anchor, though in a removable manner, the base of the position detector on the positioning plate.

Maintenance apparatus of an air conditioning system mounted on a motor vehicle. The maintenance apparatus comprises: two external ducts, a discharging circuit, which is connected to the ducts to receive the carbon dioxide contained in the air conditioning system at a first pressure and a first flow rate and is structured so as to discharge the carbon dioxide received into the environment, a measuring apparatus, which is configured so as to measure the amount of carbon dioxide that passes through the discharging circuit, and a pressure and flow rate reducing device, which is structured so as to reduce the first pressure and the first flow rate of the carbon dioxide to the be measured to a second predetermined pressure and to a second predetermined flow rate, respectively.
