ADAS systems rely on precise measurements and angles to function correctly. Any deviation from the recommended specifications can result in an inaccurate calibration. If the floor is not level, the vehicle’s position and orientation can be affected, resulting in errors in the calibration process. This can cause the ADAS system to provide incorrect feedback to the driver, potentially leading to unsafe driving conditions.
Tru-Point cameras automatically adjust the height of the target to insure it is in the perfect field of view while moving the equipment and target stands around the vehicle.

HOW TRU-POINT WORKS
OEM specifications require the center of the calibration target to be perfectly in line with the center of the vehicle’s camera.
Most manufacturers indicate that checking the floor level is critical for proper calibration.
If the floor level is not possible, correcting the height of the calibration target is mandatory to compensate.
Finding a truly leveled floor is difficult to do and can be costly.
Poor calibration impacts the vehicle’s ability to operate properly causing liability issues for the shop and exposing drivers to danger.
Tru-Point validates the vehicle’s alignment, placement of the ADAS accessories around the vehicle, and compliance with OEM specifications.
The pointer target is used to map the precise roll and pitch of the floor in 3D space. The sensors on Tru-Point then tie the floor, vehicle, and itself together in 3D space. This provides a unique view of the vehicle and serves to guarantee accurate placement for each of the vehicle’s ADAS components.
