Calibrating the next generation T&M products

Due to the development of semi-autonomous and autonomous vehicles within the next few years,the requirements posed on testing and measurement (T&M) procedures in the end-of-line will continue to increase. As a pioneer of test stands for driver assistance systems, Dürr Assembly Products has anticipated this future trend and has developed a new generation of test stands. The new concept is based on years of experience in developing and designing test stands for the calibration of today’s driver assistance systems, as well as being based on the cooperation with our customers and manufacturers of driver assistance systems.

With innovations such as monitors that display static and dynamic calibration patterns as well as an unprecedented concept for flexible positioning of the calibration devices around the vehicle, the new x-around is perfectly suited to calibrate the next generation of driver assistance systems and perform further function tests. This will ensure that the end-of-line is also ready for an integrated and flexible testing of the latest driver assistance systems.

A booth that surrounds the complete test stand and blocks external light sources enables identical and reproducible calibration conditions for all vehicles. To cover different sensor positions, the separate positioning systems for the calibration devices are mounted on the same supporting structure, thus allowing flexible movement in three dimensions. By means of a contactless measurement system, body height and vehicle symmetry can be measured and taken into account during the sensor calibration process. The consideration of the dynamic axis of travel is also possible at any time due to data transfer from wheel alignment stands located in front of the booth.

Custom-made master gauges with the point lasers and distance measurement devices are available for test stand calibration, enabling a fast and efficient check of the different calibration targets and systems. For flexible control of the separate test stand components and tasks, Dürr Assembly Products provides the in-house automation software x-line as well as x-tronic products for ECU communication.
