Vitesco Technologies has announced its partnership with Cebi Group to develop the Advanced Sensor Cleaning System (ASCS). The ASCS is an integrated all-in-one solution that can keep more than ten environmental sensors clean with water pressure of up to seven bar, using just a single infrastructure.
Etienne Jacqué, Head - R&D, Cebi Group, stated that combining global technology for washer systems with the electronics and electromechanical expertise of Vitesco Technologies creates a complete system that is a key enabler for autonomous electric drive systems.
Robert Paul, Head of Actuators Business Unit, Powertrain Solutions division, Vitesco Technologies, said that the all-in-one sensor cleaning system is a key product for autonomous electric driving.
A single high-pressure pump is sufficient to supply several sensors and with lower water consumption. With its high degree of integration, it is also very easy and economical to accommodate in the vehicle, he added.
Vitesco Technologies supplies three core components for the new sensor cleaning system and ensures functional integration. A brushless and compact high-pressure pump with two to seven bar delivery pressure provides the cleaning water for the complete sensor equipment of a vehicle; a special distributor redirects the flow from the pump to the correct sensor and the control electronics.
Cebi Group provides a large reservoir with up to four individual washer pumps for the classic windshield and headlamp cleaning, the complex hosing, the nozzle technology, and the overall mechanical system integration in the vehicle.
