In the fast-paced world of collision repair, waiting for rental fixtures or struggling with outdated universal systems is no longer an option. Vehicle architectures are more complex, materials are increasingly mixed, and structural tolerances have tightened dramatically due to the rise of ADAS and EV battery platforms.
For modern body shops, the solution is the Celette Cameleon: a universal jig system that combines the accuracy of dedicated fixtures with the flexibility of a modular toolkit. The Celette Cameleon allows you to build a custom fixture for virtually any vehicle on the road—right now, in your own shop.
The Hybrid Concept: Measure AND Hold
Unlike electronic measuring systems that only “see” the damage, the Cameleon is a physical anchoring system. It enables technicians to:
Measure: Check X, Y, and Z coordinates with ±1 mm accuracy.
Hold: Secure the new chassis leg, pillar, or strut tower firmly in space.
Repair: Weld and bond with the confidence that the part cannot move.
This “Hold and Weld” capability is critical for OEM certifications, ensuring that the vehicle geometry is locked in before the first spark flies. The Celette Cameleon enhances this process by providing unmatched precision.
Three Modular Kit Levels for Every Workshop
The Cameleon system is scalable. You don’t buy a new machine; you simply add more “lego blocks” to your kit as your needs grow.
Digital Intelligence: Powered by WebTools AI
Hardware is nothing without data. The Cameleon connects wirelessly to Celette WebTools AI, our cloud-based software platform.
No Guesswork: The software shows exactly where to place each elements using 3D images.
Huge Database: Access over 5,000+ vehicle evolutions (European, Asian, American, and Luxury markets).
Cameleon Side Gantry: Mastering Vertical Repairs
Modern impacts often affect the B-pillar, roof rails, or door apertures. The optional Side Gantry add-on extends the Cameleon’s reach vertically.
Applications: Side impact correction, door hinge alignment, and EV battery cage protection.
Precision: Ensures the door fits perfectly before painting, eliminating “trial and error” adjustments.
Universal Compatibility — Even Beyond Celette
Already own a different bench? No problem.
With specific Adapters, this system can be mounted on selected non-Celette frame machines (such as Car-O-Liner, Globaljig, or Spanesi benchmarks). This allows workshops to upgrade their fixturing accuracy to Celette standards without replacing their existing lifting platforms.
Why OEMs and Insurers Prefer Cameleon
Repeated Accuracy: It uses the same coordinates as the stamped factory parts.
Traceability: Repairs are documented and verifiable.
Cost Control: Eliminates rental fees and shipping delays for dedicated fixtures.
Conclusion
The Celette Cameleon is not just a tool; it is a strategy. By bringing OEM-grade fixture capability in-house, workshops reduce cycle times, cut rental costs, and ensure that every vehicle—from a city car to a luxury EV—is restored to its exact factory specifications.
