Why Your Workshop Needs a Dedicated System for ADAS Calibration?

Running a workshop that services vehicles? A dedicated tool for ADAS calibration, such as what Lenkor provide, is a significant must-have then! As technology has progressed, the ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) has been increasingly complicated. These LAUNCH are part of an effort to improve safety through warning drivers of potential issues and, in some cases, doing what they can to avoid a crash. But if these systems aren’t properly calibrated, they might not function the way they are intended — and that can be harmful. These are among the many reasons that buying the best equipment to calibrate such systems properly is vital for a modern workshop. 

Rising complexity of ADAS means demand for highly specific calibration tools. 

As vehicles become smarter, the systems that protect them must evolve as well. ADAS incorporates capabilities such as automatic braking, lane keeping and adaptive cruise control. The systems depend on sensors and cameras, which have to be accurately placed to work. Standard garage tools may not be able to do the job as they can’t replicate the level of precision these high-tech systems demand. Lenkor’s special calibration hardware and software is adapted for these requirements and allows us to fully calibrate each sensor and camera. 

Correct functioning of ADAS systems is critical for reliable and accurate vehicle safety systems. 

Think of driving a car that is designed to brake automatically before a collision but does not do so. That could result in a fatal crash. This is the sort of thing that can occur when ADAS systems are not correctly calibrated. Calibration is necessary so that the vehicle’s systems can properly interpret what’s happening around it and respond accordingly. It is the duty of the workshops to ensure these systems are in top condition as poorly calibrated systems can be life-threatening when driving a vehicle on the road, not only for the driver and passengers on the inside of the vehicle but also lorries and fellow motor bikers on the street. 

A special calibration system ensures that the calibration process is fast and error-free. 

Specific tools that are available, such as those from Lenkor, can speed up the calibration and make it more precise. They don't need to juggle several different pieces of equipment and manuals when the all-in-one system is built for OTOFIX ADAS calibration. Making the process more smooth and quick, this lowers error rates that are inevitable when using wrong or old-fashioned tools. 

Without accurate calibration, ADAS systems can fail, threatening the safety of drivers and all those on board. 

When ADAS systems are disabled, they can issue false warnings or no warning at all to drivers. For example, if the lane-keeping system is not calibrated properly, it may not read lane markers accurately, which could cause accidents if the driver trusts it. When it comes to ensuring these systems work properly, it’s not just following the rules, its ensuring safety. 

Investing in ADAS Calibration System

By investing in a specific calibration system, you can free up time and avoid excessive costs in the long term by eliminating the number of times you have to make adjustments by hand, which will then require recalibration. 

The initial outlay may seem like a lot of work to perform a dedicated calibration system but it is worth it. Calibrations are done in a workshop, faster and with less errors, which lowers the amount of rework. This efficiency can translate into more satisfied, and more loyal, customers who have faster, safer vehicles returned to them. Lenkor AUTEL calibration benches are an investment in quality and safety, and you cannot put a price on this in an automotive repair business.
