MAHLE Aftermarket has unveiled the TechPRO ADAS solution, which allows workshops to adjust and calibrate driver assistance systems quickly and easily using just a single digital calibration panel. MAHLE says the new system saves technicians valuable time and money and the tool is continuously updated online to cover new vehicles.

TechPRO ADAS is a multi-brand tool that provides workshops with the opportunity to capture new calibration business. Olaf Henning, Corporate Executive Vice President MAHLE Group and General Manager Aftermarket says, “In upcoming years, both the number of driver assistance systems and the percentage of passenger cars and trucks equipped with these systems are expected to grow significantly. This will greatly change the way that workshops work.” He adds, “With our TechPRO ADAS, we make the job easier. Unlike the tools already on the market, only one digital calibration panel is needed to precisely adjust the radar sensors and cameras. Updates are installed automatically to give workshops a solution that is optimally adapted to handle new developments in the field of driver assistance systems.”

MAHLE say that multi-brand workshops have always faced challenges with the calibration of different manufacturer’s systems because the sensors vary depending on the vehicle model. In the past, this led to high investment and operating costs, as it required a number of different calibration panels, suitable working areas, and long calibration times. The TechPRO ADAS from MAHLE uses one digital calibration panel, thereby reducing calibration time and keeping space requirements to a minimum. This in turn lowers the cost of acquisition and ongoing operations.

TechPRO ADAS interacts with the digital calibration panel to produce precise results quickly. To recalibrate an assistance system, the workshop technician just connects the TechPRO diagnostic tool to the appropriate control units using the onboard diagnostics. The calibration panel is set up according to the manufacturer’s directions and adjusted automatically. Next, the TechPRO diagnostic tool shows what exactly needs to be done and guides the workshop technician through each of the steps.

The calibration system covers many European makes that are equipped with driver assistance systems, and market coverage is being continuously expanded.
