Initially developed as OEM tools for several automotive manufacturers, Hunter’s ADAS calibration system is now being brought to the aftermarket. 

The solution offered by Hunter stands out for its precision and ease of use. It allows technicians to calibrate vehicle sensors, cameras, and radar systems with a high level of accuracy. 

The system consists of an alignment machine paired with a control analyzer developed in collaboration with Bosch, which allows interface with the vehicle. The analyzer includes a comprehensive diagnostic suite that goes beyond ADAS system calibration alone. Targets are sold individually rather than as a full set, allowing equipment buyers to select only those that match their needs based on the vehicle mix in their customer base. 

Static calibration: the space constraint 

In an ideal world, the space required to perform 100% of static calibration procedures for driver-assistance systems is 40 ft by 60 ft, with no physical obstructions—an area that very few independent workshops have. 

Yes, but… 

Hunter’s objective is to help users realize that 80% of calibration procedures can be performed with just 10 feet of clearance in front of the vehicle’s bumper. According to Dan Wood, Regional Manager for Quebec at Hunter, this represents a significant revenue opportunity for repair shops that is currently underutilized due to the misconception that a 40 ft by 60 ft space is always required. 

Integrated training 

Training is included with the purchase of the equipment. New owners also gain access to the university.hunter.com online platform. 

Hunter’s ADAS machine is an essential tool for servicing modern vehicles. It ensures the reliability of advanced safety systems while improving workshop efficiency and profitability. In a context of rapidly evolving automotive technology, this type of equipment is becoming indispensable to guarantee the safety of drivers and passengers.
