The new machine allows connection to most automotive transmission units, including double clutch and CVT types, and is capable of completing a flush and fluid exchange in 20 minutes for the transmission, torque converter and radiator.
The CAT-501S uses load cell weighing technology and software to provide accurate results and a near 100 per cent fluid exchange.
Once complete, technicians are provided with a printout, and the new synthetic fluid restores lubricating and friction coefficients back to their original specifications.
Dave Richards, Launch UK managing director, said: “The product will sit alongside our current diagnostic offering and is in keeping with our aim to provide garages with cost-effective, easy-to-use and time saving solutions for daily workshop use.”
Launch UK is offering one year’s free access to its database, including images of adapters to use, fitting locations, drain and level plugs, and tips regarding correct procedures.
The supplier says that prolonged use of transmission fluid which has exceeded 76,000KM will affect transmission units.
