Designed to guarantee safety and comfort while driving, the ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) are ever more common in latest-generation vehicles.
Cameras, radars, LIDARs and sensors must be recalibrated when replaced, but even when actions that affect them are required, such as: replacing the windscreen and bumper, repairing the suspensions, aligning the wheels, changing the tyres, replacing the engine control unit, etc..
Knowing how to intervene in this field is strategical to keep pace with the times and be able to offer customers first class assistance.
TEXA helps repair professionals operate on these sophisticated active safety devices, with a complete multibrand offer that includes:
TEXA’s solutions allow performing static and dynamic calibrations and resetting the ADAS correctly, guaranteeing the safety of the drivers and of who carries out the diagnosis and calibrations.
guides mechanics step-by-step throughout all the phases, thanks to the helps sheets specifically developed for each vehicle, offering a very wide CAR, TRUCK and BIKE coverage, at least 30% higher compared to other solutions on the market.
In case of any doubt or question on the calibration procedures, TEXA offers an ADAS Call Center line: a quick, competent and accurate contact to respond to any need. The service is included in the subscription to TEX@INFO Car Call Center*.

For the calibration of radars, lidars, cameras and sensors, TEXA has designed and engineered RCCS 3 EVO, a top of-the-range solution that includes the best production technology and exceptional components.
The version allows a wide range of possibilities of use: it can be used with the toe and thrust axis check kit, or in optical alignment mode. The Bluetooth distance measurers, which can communicate directly with the IDC5 software, make sure the unit is positioned properly by means of a guided procedure.
Thanks to the great ease of use and accuracy of the RCCS 3 EVO system, you can work in an even more simple and precise way guaranteeing the accuracy of the final result and maximum safety both for the driver and for the technician performing the calibrations.
Furthermore, it is important to highlight that it does not deform nor resize the images.
This way workshops are sure to operate in the most proper and safe way, without risking to alter the vehicle’s behaviour on the road.
Thanks to continuous software updates that each time offer new vehicles and eventually new panels, and to the essential help sheets edited per make and model, users are sure to complete any operation with maximum precision and to the highest standards, relying on an extraordinary coverage.
An actual Mini PC built into the unit, installed in the version RCCS 3 EVO with Monitor, guarantees the use of an intelligent system that synchronises the ICD5 software and the TEXA unit perfectly.
The images of the panels are transmitted and positioned automatically, based on the vehicle selection made. They are displayed through a linear, safe and quick process.
RCCS 3 EVO is made up by a very robust main support, which height can be adjusted thanks to its electrical operation. Using practical knobs, it can be easily tilted to the side and forward.
Furthermore, a knob allows even millimetric side movements. There is another laser level at the top of the unit that is useful for locating the centre of the vehicle simply by pointing at its front logo.
The horizontal adjustment bar is equipped with two distance measurers and a reflecting plate, the latter with a central laser for the front radar’s aiming.
RCCS 3 EVO is much easier to move around the workshop thanks to its new oversized castor wheels.
This technological equipment allows positioning RCCS 3 EVO and aligning it correctly with respect to the vehicle and to the ground easily, with absolute precision and in complete safety.
Before any calibration, other than verifying the alignment of RCCS 3 EVO with respect to the vehicle, it is important to also check the ride height of the vehicle you are working on.
To this end, in order to offer an even more complete and professional service, RCCS 3 EVO, can be equipped with four CCD electronic detectors that can be installed either on the wheels, using the rimclamping system, or on the sides of the horizontal adjustment bar.
The lightness of the detectors and the absence of connection cables between the front and the back, confer maximum practicality and absolute accuracy when measuring the vehicle angles.
Truly a complete, turnkey job.
The high accuracy when checking the vehicle ride height is also guaranteed by the use of the TOE AND THRUST ANGLE CHECK, the software application that allows carrying out two types of operations:
These procedures are essential for preparing the vehicle for the following camera and/or radar calibration phase.
The operator first fits the four CCD detectors to the wheels and checks wheel alignment. He then removes the CCD sensors from the front wheels and mounts them on the RCCS 3 EVO’s adjustment bar to align the structure correctly with respect to the vehicle’s thrust line (referred to the back axle).
Below there is a practical example of unit alignment and wheel toe using the dedicated software:
Other than the version with toe and thrust axis check, RCCS 3 EVO is also available in the highly performing optical alignment mode. This configuration uses wheel clamps and was designed to complete all the operations on radars and cameras in a quick and precise way.
Latest generation laser technology
The Bluetooth distance measurers provided by TEXA are the ideal solution to meet the most severe professional and precision criteria requested by workshops worldwide.
Thanks to a clear and precise messaging system all the vehicle preparation phases are extremely easy and quick.
The POSITIONER management software will guide the operator step by step to position the RCCS 3 EVO unit safely.
Below there is a practical example of positioning the unit using the dedicated software:
CCS 2 Dynamics is the transportable solution by TEXA for the calibration of cameras on cars, light commercial vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles.
