Actuators play a key role in controlling boost pressure.
In some cases, however, these components cannot be installed without specific calibration, which is essential to ensure proper operation.
Why Calibration is Critical
Different types of actuators, such as those for turbochargers HE400 and HE500 VGT applications for VOLVO/DAF, require a dedicated configuration. In these situations, the standard flushing tools are not always suitable for calibration. Often, these tools:
- Do not support the advanced protocols required by modern actuators;
- Do not allow the necessary reference parameters to be set;
- Do not perform guided calibration sequences;
- Do not read or reset stored information.
In essence, while useful for basic checks, these tools are not always capable of bringing an actuator to the required operating configurations.
The DEPROS Solution
To ensure accurate and reliable results, DEPROS provides, where necessary, a dedicated calibration tool when these specific items are purchased. The tool allows you to:
- Connect to the actuator correctly and safely;
- Set exact reference positions;
- Perform the complete calibration procedure following the required protocols;
- Ensure that the actuator operates with optimal precision from the first use.
