St. Louis—Hunter Engineering has announced that Kia has approved Ultimate ADAS for its North American dealer and collision repair network.
Kia is Hunter’s first Korean automaker to provide approval, bringing its OEM total to eight for the alignment and static calibration system, joining Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Nissan, Infiniti and Subaru. Ultimate ADAS is Hunter’s system for eliminating error-prone manual layouts common to static ADAS calibrations, combining alignment technology with a guided target placement system for around-the-vehicle coverage.
Gimbal-mounted lasers replacethe inexact guesswork of strings, plumb bobs and tape measures to cut setup time by 70 percent for some procedures. The laser gimbals and onscreen guidance increase target placement precision by automatically compensating for non-level floors, monitoring for placement errors, and confirming accuracy with laser measurements each step of the way.
Ultimate ADAS provides documentation that confirms placements, procedures, before-and-after measurements and more, accessed directly via HunterNet 2, Hunter’s customer portal.
The system now includes dynamic and static calibration coverage for a total of 19 OEMs, supporting more than 7,400 static ADAS procedures and accounting for more than 90 percent of vehicles in operation.
