Provided is a simulator device allowing simplification and cost minimization. A simulator device that generates and emits, to a LiDAR shining a laser light at a plurality of scanning locations, a false light corresponding to said laser light, and comprises: a light focusing unit that focuses the laser light shined at the plurality of scanning locations; and a simulator that, in accordance with the laser light focused by the light focusing unit, generates the false light resembling scattered light that is produced in a prescribed location, and emits the false light to the LiDAR via the light focusing unit.

Simulator device

This vehicle inspection system comprises: a monitor that displays a simulated image captured by a camera and imitating external environment information; a target device that returns an irradiation wave from an electromagnetic sensor as a reflected wave; a simulator device that changes the external environment information by changing the simulated image or the reflected wave; and an inspection device that inspects actuators of a vehicle to be inspected on the basis of the changed external environment information.

Vehicle inspection system

Provided are a vehicle inspection system and a vehicle inspection method that can align a vehicle with a constant location of a bench testing machine. The present invention comprises: a bench testing machine that rotatably supports wheels of a vehicle, using rollers that are provided for each of the wheels; and a monitor device that is positioned in a fixed location with regard to the bench testing machine and displays, toward a camera, an image resembling an exterior environment, wherein the bench testing machine has a location adjustment device (turning mechanism, test bench control device) that adjusts the location of the vehicle in the vehicle width direction such that the relative location of the camera in the vehicle width direction with regard to the monitor device is constant.

Vehicle inspection system and vehicle inspection method

A fastening system for fastening a fastener to a workpiece, includes a movable carriage on which the workpiece is placed, a coordinate detection unit configured to detect a position of the fastener temporarily tightened onto the workpiece as coordinates in a coordinate system of the movable carriage, a storage device configured to store the coordinates detected by the coordinate detection unit, and a retightening device configured to determine a position of the fastener based on the coordinates stored in the storage device and retighten the fastener that is at the determined position.

Fastening system and fastening method

Provided is a vehicle inspection system that enables inspection of an inspection vehicle provided with electromagnetic sensors having different wavelengths. A first absorption member and a second absorption member are provided to non-overlapping positions in front of a position at which the radiation range of radiated waves from the first electromagnetic sensor and the radiation range of radiated waves from the second electromagnetic sensor overlap.

A spoke angle deviation amount measuring system () includes a first to fourth support units () to () configured to support rotatably a first to fourth tires () to (), respectively. Shaft portions () of the support units () to () are positioned by positioning caps () after a vehicle () is moved to a measuring position with a steering wheel () positioned neutral. With the tires () to () inclined at a toe angle with respect to a front-and-rear direction, when the vehicle () is caused to travel forwards, lateral stress is exerted on the support units () to (), whereby the support units () to () turn about the corresponding shaft portions (). An angle sensor () detects turning angles of the support units () to (). A control device () calculates a spoke angle deviation amount based on the detected turning angles.
