Do sensors need to be calibrated?
The accuracy of even the most precise and most sensitive measurement instrument or measuring system can deteriorate through wear, aging and environmental influences. It should, therefore, be recalibrated at regular intervals.
What happens if a sensor is not calibrated?
This can cause the sensor to misalign or not function correctly. ADAS calibration is necessary to ensure the sensor is in the right position and to get the best accuracy possible. ADAS is a highly complex system. Its components tie into a central computer system to provide a variety of functions.
What equipment does not require calibration?
Mechanical tools such as dies, drills, hammers, and screwdrivers do not require calibration because they do not produce measurements. As such, only tools that produce measurements need regular calibration.
Is calibration mandatory?
In many industries, calibration is indeed mandatory to ensure compliance, maintain quality, and meet regulatory requirements.
