LDW calibrations are one of the cornerstone calibrations that the repair community and end customers have widely adopted. If you are a glass shop, these calibrations are quickly becoming standard as more and more vehicles get equipped with the front camera for lane departure features. To have a complete service for installing windshields, it’s essential to have an LDW calibration setup.
On the collision side, the need for these front camera calibrations is also steadily increasing. While these LDW packages have traditionally been geared towards the Auto glass industry, there are two key reasons to consider these packages.
Firstly, manufacturers commonly price these packages very aggressively. If you were to purchase the frame, the diagnostic tool, and each target individually, you would be paying significantly more.
Secondly, the LDW package is a great foundation that can easily expand to include more types of calibrations when the time is right. Whether you're looking to add front radars, blindspot modules, 360 views, and more. ADAS Depot can help you grow your capabilities by recommending the right equipment.
Lane departure camera calibration kits for windshield and collision repair shops will allow your business to provide comprehensive and safe repairs. It helps you maintain compliance with both manufacturer and repair industry standards. Not only does this mean you keep more work in your shop, but proper calibration can protect your shop from being liable if the same vehicle is in another car accident while using their ADAS features.
At ADAS Depot, we carry several LDW calibration packages from the leading brands: Autel, Texa, Launchtech, and Topdon.
The frame is the foundation for all LDW packages. They provide the platform to properly place and orient targets to provide precise calibrations required for LDW systems. We carry frames from the most trusted industry brands including Autel, Texa, Launchtech, and Topdon.
LDW targets make up the majority of different and unique targets that you will need across all calibrations. It is common for each manufacturer to require a particular target based on the modules that they choose to install in their vehicle. Therefore it's important to know which makes and models you will come across the most, and ensure that you have those targets ready for use.
Buying the correct target which pairs with your calibration system is important for one main reason. Each manufacturer tends to have a unique mounting system that they have created to hang a target from their calibration frame. If you try to interchange targets, you risk being stuck with a target that cannot properly mount to the frame you have.
As the brains of most automotive repair jobs, diagnostic tablets come in many different types. If a diagnostic tablet is capable of ADAS calibrations, then you can be confident that LDW/front camera calibrations will be included. Once the target is placed in the correct orientation, the diagnostic tablet will trigger the pre-programmed calibration process in the camera module.
We offer some of the most trusted and reliable LDWS calibration equipment on the market and help you learn how to use it effectively. Still not sure which system to order for your shop? Call us at (925) 566-8545 or email us today.
