Functional description
Alignment of SCT 418
The "Bosch ADAS Positioning" software will guide the
user through the alignment process for the SCT 418
step by step. The work steps depend on the selected
sensor, vehicle and accessories.
Front camera calibration
For front camera calibration using the SCT 418, the
CTA 2xx-x and CTA 3xx-x calibration boards are re‐
quired. The calibration boards must be attached to the
SCT 418 at the required height and positioned at the
required distance from the front of the vehicle. Use the
magnetic slide to attach the calibration boards to the
SCT 418.

The calibration boards are attached to the measuring
bar during the calibration process. The two cameras
(A) for detecting the reference boards on the vehicle
are located at the outer edges of the measuring bar.
3 different positions (B) of the cameras allow detecting
the calibration boards in different vehicle positions.
The pitch angle (D) and the roll angle (C) can be read
via the spirit levels attached to the measuring bar.
Retaining brackets (E) for mounting the retaining
adapters X are used to attach large calibration boards
without a retaining plate.
The measuring bar can be moved to a vertical
parking position for space-saving storage. See 

3.6 Contact plate
The contact plate is required for calibrations that have
the reference point on the front bumper. The rubber
pads ensure that there is no damage to the vehicle if it
comes into contact with the front bumper.
