John Bean's Tru-Point Available with 360-View Camera

Snap-on Inc.’s John Bean Tru-Point advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) calibration is now available with a new 360-view camera calibration.

“By staying true to the commitment made for Tru-Point, the John Bean engineering group has released an innovative software update that is made available with the use of the TGT-05 kit,” says Jordan Krebs, product manager, John Bean. 

“With the new procedures available starting with the 1.6.0 software update, Tru-Point now has 360-view camera calibrations that do not require the use of lasers, tape measures, plumb-bobs or drawing on the floor, simultaneously making the process more streamlined and comprehensive.”

John Bean customers can use the TGT-05 kit to calibrate the 360 cameras for a variety of manufacturers including Audi, Bentley, Ford, Lamborghini and Volkswagen.  

The kit attaches to opposing corners of the 360 mats on either side of the vehicle and serves as a reference point for the Tru-Point cameras to ensure the actual mats are straight, square and properly aligned to the vehicle’s cameras before beginning calibrations.
