One-Step Cure Adhesive Facilitates Efficient Assembly of ADAS Cameras
Automotive adhesive delivers high precision for active alignment of camera modules, reducing cost, time, and CO₂ emissions.
The latest innovation in one-step cure adhesives from Henkel is bringing speed, efficiency, and sustainability to the assembly of high-resolution advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) camera and lidar modules. Loctite Ablestik NCA 01UV is an active-alignment adhesive that can be cured in a single step with just three seconds of UV LED light exposure. Eliminating the need for oven curing saves time, energy, and CO₂ emissions.
Rodrigo Aguilar, ADAS business development manager at Henkel, explained, “As consumers expect ever more sophisticated assistance systems and increasingly depend on cameras and sensors in the context of autonomous driving, the performance and reliability of these components has become critical to road users’ safety and comfort. As a leading partner to the automotive industry, Henkel is expanding its range of dedicated adhesives for ADAS sensor assembly — providing innovative one-step curing that can meet the performance of preceding generations of adhesives. By enabling active alignment of ADAS sensors to within 100-nanometer accuracy, we are delivering the precision and high sensor reliability needed for vital safety functions.”
