The Wielander + Schill telescopic measuring rod, the Auto-Messfix system, offers an ideal solution for assessing vehicle body damage, precisely measuring structural damage, and checking dimensions after straightening work. This professional measuring tool guarantees high accuracy and flexibility, even on the most difficult-to-reach surfaces.
The Auto-Messfix system is designed to provide maximum support in every critical phase of the vehicle body repair process. The telescopic design allows the measurement range to be adjusted over a wide scale, while the special measuring heads ensure that measurements can be taken even in narrow, hard-to-reach places or for distances between non-parallel surfaces.
The included measuring template (871008) facilitates the determination of hole distances, which can be crucial during repairs requiring precise alignment. Found on the measuring rod holders threaded screws prevent the accidental shifting of the rods during measurement, thus ensuring the stability of the set dimensions and the reliability of the reading.
This measuring system is an indispensable tool for every specialist aiming to return to factory dimensions during vehicle body restoration work.

The modular design of the system allows for the procurement of necessary accessories to meet specific requirements. Main set elements, such as measuring rods and holders, are also available separately as spare parts or for additional measurements.
Measuring Rod (Long) – Part Number: 874026
This main element ensures measurements between 950 mm and 3260 mm can be taken. The telescopic mechanism enables precise and reliable measurement during the assessment of structural damage, as well as checking the dimensions of body parts after straightening. The stable design minimizes longitudinal displacement.
Measuring Rod Holder – Part Number: 874027
The holders are responsible for fixing the measuring rods in the desired position. These precision components ensure that the rods cannot slip during measurement, which is essential for millimeter-accurate results.
Measuring Tips (Short, Straight, and Angled) – Part Numbers: 874020 and 874021
The specially designed tips enable measurement between points where conventional measuring tools cannot reach, or where surfaces are not perpendicular to each other. The angled tip is particularly useful for complex geometry body parts.
Fixing Screw – Part Number: 874024
These screws serve to fix the measuring rods in the holders, securing the set length and preventing accidental adjustment during handling while measuring.
The Auto-Messfix telescopic measuring rod primarily provides outstanding assistance in the following areas:
Damage Assessment: Quick and accurate measurement of the structural integrity of vehicles involved in accidents.
Dimensional Control: During straightening and repair processes, it is necessary to verify whether the body has regained its original dimensions. This instrument plays a critical role in quality assurance.
Measurement of Hard-to-Reach Points: Thanks to the special tips, the distances between internal reinforcements, subframe points, and other hidden surfaces can also be easily determined.
Determining Hole Distances: With the help of the included measuring template, the distances between the centers of holes can be verified, which is essential when replacing components requiring precise alignment (e.g., door hinges, engine mounts).
This telescopic measuring system reflects Wielander + Schill's commitment to reliable, durable, and innovative instruments that optimize body repair processes.
