Choosing the Right Autel ADAS Calibration Solution for Your Shop

Originally published by Body Shop Business on Oct 14, 2024

 

The MaxiSYS IA900 and IA700 Calibrations Systems

Autel has been at the forefront of developing ADAS calibration solutions since it debuted its first frame system, affectionately known as Big Red, in 2018. Throughout these many years, Autel has continuously improved the technology and workflow of the entire ADAS calibration process. In addition to that spirit of innovation, the MaxiSYS IA900 and just-released IA700 systems demonstrate Autel’s commitment to providing its users with solutions that make their shops more efficient and profitable.

The sheer number of vehicles on the road with ADAS (180 million in North America) and the increasing array of mechanical and collision repairs and services often affecting those systems, requiring ADAS servicing or calibration, necessitate that your shop develops an ADAS calibration strategy—sublet to a dealer, an ADAS calibration shop, or a mobile calibrator or to perform the calibrations in-house. If you bring ADAS in-house, you will find no better solution partner than Autel.

In addition to offering industry-leading vehicle and system coverage, we back our products with expert-led training and support. And 40% of our staff is in research and development, so you can be confident that our products will continue adapting to the evolving automotive technology and protocols.

Let’s examine our two latest systems and see which fits your shop best.

IA900 Laser

MaxiSYS IA900: 4-Wheel Alignment and Complete ADAS Calibration System

The IA900 Frame system performs four-wheel alignment and ADAS calibrations. It features a 24-inch touchscreen that displays illustrated instructions, live readings, required tools, and adjustment locations.

The system features six high-resolution cameras for automatic height monitoring and robotic frame movement for precise alignments to 0.02 degrees, optical positioning of calibration frame to the vehicle for quicker and more accurate calibration setup, and to offer un-level floor compensation, enabling the unit to adjust for precise calibrations no matter the condition of the shop floor.

Systems offer comprehensive diagnostic, repair, service, and reporting capabilities powered by the Autel MaxiSYS Ultra, MS919, and MS909 tablets (purchased separately or included with system packages). Aligner-only, Aligner, and Lane Departure Warning (LDW) calibration packages with targets and patterns and All Systems ADAS calibration with a camera, radar, lidar, and around-view monitoring packages. LDW and All Sytems pattern and calibrator upgrade packages are also available.

IA700 Targets

MaxiSYS IA700 In-shop or Mobile Optical Positioning System

The MaxiSYS IA700 is a modular ADAS calibration system with a robotic crossbar and six high-resolution cameras providing alignment precheck, optical positioning calibration setup, an unlevel floor compensation industry-leading vehicle, and all systems ADAS calibrations.

Offered in frame-only, Lane Departure Warning (LDW), and All-Systems ADAS calibration packages. Compatible with MA600 and IA900 targets, it enhances the speed and accuracy of optical positioning for MA600 users and doubles calibration capacity for IA900 users without extra targets. The frame disassembles for easy transport and storage and includes tire clamps with camera targets, a steering wheel lock, brake chocks, a power supply, an alignment aid, and a frame cover.

Systems offer comprehensive diagnostic, repair, service, and reporting capabilities powered by the Autel MaxiSYS Ultra, MS919, and MS909 tablets (purchased separately or included with system packages).

We’ve been producing ADAS calibration systems for six years, so we’ve gained a lot of institutional knowledge. However, we would be dishonest if we didn’t acknowledge that our users are our best teachers and that we consistently seek and listen to their feedback on how we can improve our systems. That’s why we mean it when we say partner. Learn from us and from our customers on how an investment in Autel equipment is an investment in your shop’s success.
