Digital Vision Positioning System
The DAS 3000 system utilizes patented technology along with industrial-grade sensors to measure the distance and angles of the targets in relation to the vehicle, providing the most accurate and precise calibration available in the industry. Digital VPS gives confidence that the system is set-up correctly and eliminates the need for manual processes which can often leave room for error.
Integrated Target Storage
Camera targets and floor mats are conveniently stored in the calibration unit keeping your work area organized. Targets are easily accessible and safely stored for accurate vehicle calibrations.
Camera and Radar Calibrations.
By utilizing digital vision positioning technology, Bosch's DAS 3000 significantly improves the calibration process. The solution decreases set-up and labor time while simultaneously increasing efficiency and tractability without sacrificing accuracy.
Speed and Efficiency
The system offers a step-by-step walk-through of set-up and service procedures, from Auto-ID of the vehicle to camera and radar target set-up for calibration – all integrated right into the tool software. Workflows are streamlined and consistent across OEMs for the fastest, most efficient experience without leaving the platform.
OE Coverage
Bosch’s position as the world’s largest automotive supplier allows for global OE coverage development directly with the OEMs. Bosch has calibration coverage on all major OE platforms and continues to co-develop as new vehicles are designed.
PrecisionThe DAS 3000 utilizes industrial-grade digital cameras to automatically measure vehicle distance and angles required for calibration. This allows the user to adjust the positioning without having to manually measure and reduces the potential for error.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q. How does distance measurement work with the DAS 3000 S10?
A. The camera and reference board are used for distance measurement. The camera measures the distance between the adjustment device and the reference board, making set-up precise and efficient.
Q. Will sunlight, weather or other environmental conditions affect ADAS camera calibrations?
A. Yes, sunlight, clouds & other environmental conditions may affect the success of both static & dynamic calibrations by casting shadows, reflections or creating poor lighting conditions.
Q. What is the direct footage measurements required in a shop for static calibrations?
A. The space needed for static calibrations can vary by OEM, vehicle or calibration type. Bosch recommends a space of 45ft x 30ft free from obstructions, with a level floor to accommodate most static calibrations. Please refer to the Bosch DAS 3000 Technical Brochure for more details on facility recommendations.
Q. What are the variety of calibrations performed for static?
A. Each manufacturer specified the distance, height and width of the target and the type of target required. DAS 3000 has optimized configurations while still conforming to manufacturer requirements.
Q. Can the DAS 3000 be used with front end alignment equipment?
A. Yes, the DAS 3000 operates with in ground and raised alignment equipment, with a vertical floor offset of up to 12" in height.
Q. Which original equipment manufacturers require static or dynamic calibrations?
A. There are a variety of methodologies that vary by the different car companies:
- Some are STATIC exclusively
- Some are DYNAMIC exclusively
- Some are both, a STATIC + DYNAMIC component
In general, the North American OEMs use mostly dynamic, the Asian & European manufacturers use Static or Static + Dynamic component
Q. For typical static calibrations, what is the time required for the calibration to be performed?
A. The time required to set-up & perform the calibration depends on the car manufacturer and can vary from 20 to 45 minutes to upwards of an hour. Bosch's DAS3000 system has simplified the processes for efficient calibration and reduced the set-up & calibration time to 10-15 minutes or less in most instances.
Q. What is the best way to clean the targets?
A. The best way to clean the targets is by using a window or screen cleaning solution and a clean cloth.
Q. Why do we need to stand clear of the camera targets during calibrations?
A. One must stand clear of the camera targets so the vehicles camera view is clear and unobstructed to the camera targets during calibration.
Q. Why must we remove all metal objects from in front of the vehicle for radar calibrations?
A. One must remove all metal objects from in front of the vehicle during a radar calibration because radar waves can reflect off of any metal surface, back to the vehicles radar, potentially providing inaccurate feedback to the vehicles radar controller during calibration.
Q. How do I account for ambient light or shadows?
A. There are a few options to solve problems with ambient light, sunlight and shadows. The first option is relocating the vehicle to an area with more controlled lighting. Another option is blocking out sunlight coming in from windows.
Q. How do I register for live trainings?
A. Once purchase is complete, a private link will be provided to register for live trainings.
Q. Will the Bosch DAS 3000 be compatible with future ADAS technologies?
A. Yes, the DAS 3000 was designed to be flexible and modular for expansion to future technologies. The fixture will accept Bosch accessories to perform heavy-duty truck calibrations as well as automotive LIDAR calibrations when those technologies become prevalent in the industry.
Q. Is technical support included?
A. The DAS 3000-1 includes all the standard technical support of our diagnostics tools as well as a full 12 months of Enhanced ADAS Support from our professionally-trained ADAS technical support team. Our technical support team can answer questions, troubleshoot, assist virtually with issues relating to ADAS calibrations and recommend solutions to help get the job done right.

Q. If the ADS 625 is sent in for repair and a loaner is sent out, how do I calibrate the DAS 3000 BAP camera?
A. If your scan tool is sent in for repair, and a loaner scan tool is provided, the Vision Positioning cameras of the DAS3000 will require "Pairing" to the loaner scan tool with the QR Codes which came with your original DAS3000.
Q. What if I’ve lost or misplaced the QR codes which came with my original DAS3000?
A. Bosch maintains a database of all DAS 3000 camera serial numbers & QR codes. Contact Bosch ADAS Technical Support for assistance.
Q. Will the DAS 3000 require periodic maintenance or calibration?
A. Yes, like all precision measurement shop equipment, periodic maintenance and calibrations are required. Consult the user manual or the Bosch ADAS Technical Support team for assistance.
