Hi Speed Audit Headlamp Aiming with Pneumatic Centering Platform


Hi-Speed Stand Alone Headlamp and ADAS Auditing with Pneumatic Centering Platform.

The high speed audit headlamp system utilizes an automatic Y and Z positioning gantry similar to what is used on production machines. Combined with the pneumatic centering platform, it provides for a means of auditing a wide variation of vehicle model headlamps with the Fori high resolution camera system. The high speed audit system provides improved throughput compared to manual headlamp audit systems. High speed headlamp audit applications require the platform be mounted to the plant floor, so an entrance ramp is included for pulling into the platform, and backing off. The system also provided the means for adding floor targets for a calibration check of the surround view camera system. The equipment can be utilized for adding other ADAS calibration devices in the future.

Automotive End of Line Testing Systems - Centering Platforms for ADAS Calibration

(2) Pneumatic centering platforms were provided for centering the vehicle during the ADAS calibration process. The centering actuators also included integrated string encoders to track the actual position of the vehicle for verifying centering within tolerance as required by the customer ADAS specifications. The project required the platform be mounted to the plant floor, so entrance and ramps were included for pulling into the platform and driving off. Heavy duty roller saddles were included for this system to handle the high throughput of the heaviest vehicles. The system also provided the means for adding floor targets, for a calibration of the surround view camera system. Additional ADAS devices were also integrated with the supplied centering system.

End of Line Testing--Advanced Driving Assistance Systems (ADAS)


Fori Korea supplied an Advanced Driving Assistance System (ADAS) to accommodate several vehicle platforms and test a variety of safety features.

Features:

  • Safety Testing: Lane departure warning, automatic headlights, over speed prevention, traffic signal recognition, distance warning
  • Results: Decreased infrastructure, increased production rate, accommodation of future vehicle models
adas2 ADAS test benches certify the operation of the vehicle cameras related to Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Automatic Head Lights (AHL), Over Speed Prevention (OSP), Traffic Signal Recognition (TSR) and Distance Warning (DW). The ADAS system also validates functionality of the vehicles radar system which detects the moving elements in front of the vehicle from a significant speed and the operation of the vehicle. Examples include Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Advanced Emergency Braking System (AEBS) and Forward Collision Warning (FCW). Another test completed by the ADAS is the AVM (Around View Monitor). This process is completed with four cameras (front, rear, two for side mirrors) and then displays the image captured by the cameras to the operator in their cones of vision (e.g., help for the blind spots, help for the car parking). The ADAS system has reduced the infrastructure required for the various sensor testing that is completed on production vehicles. The system allows multiple tests to be completed in one station.
