ADAS 36 Choosing the right ADAS calibration system for your workshop As ADAS calibration becomes a routine workshop requirement, choosing the right equipment is increasingly important. From physical and digital targets to mobile systems, diagnostics and reporting, workshops need to consider not just vehicle coverage, but accuracy, workflow and how the system will fit their business, as Hella Gutmann explains. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) are now the norm in most vehicles entering independent workshops, making camera and sensor calibration an increasingly essential workshop capability rather than a specialist service. As demand for calibration grows, investing in the right equipment represents a significant capital decision. However, selecting a system is not simply about choosing equipment that can initiate a calibration sequence. Workshops need to consider available space and vehicle coverage, while ensuring the system can deliver verifiable accuracy and compliance. One of the key considerations is how calibration targets are managed, positioned and stored. Physical and digital systems offer different advantages depending on the type of work a workshop undertakes. For workshops considering ADAS calibration for the first time, modular physical systems, such as Hella Gutmann’s CSC-Tool SE, can provide a cost-effective and scalable approach. High-quality modular frames feature spring-supported cross-members for simple, single-operator height adjustment, while low-profile base supports allow radar positioning and mechanical wheel clamps can integrate with four-wheel alignment systems. The modular approach also allows workshops to expand vehicle coverage as required, purchasing additional target panels as specific vehicle marques enter the workshop. For technicians working outside a conventional workshop environment, mobile calibration systems, such as Hella Gutmann’s CSC Mobile, offer greater flexibility. Compact physical systems can be transported in a van, providing multi-brand camera and radar calibration capability for mobile technicians.
