This product, the VAS 852 003/1 Camera Template, a precision aid developed specifically for the VAS 852 003 ultrasonic testing device This kit is essential for the precise diagnosis and inspection of carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) components in modern vehicle repair technologies.
The design of the camera template allows for an extremely structured and repeatable measurement of the test area, ensuring the highest level of diagnostic accuracy.
The VAS 852 003/1 camera template is a crucial element in the non-destructive testing (NDT) of CFRP structures. The template design maximizes testing efficiency and minimizes the possibility of human error.
Precise Grid Structure: The template contains 18 individual grid squares, allowing for the registration of up to 18 unique test points or areas with the ultrasonic device. This segmentation is critically important for accurately localizing the extent and depth of damage.
Compatibility: Optimized specifically for the VAS 852 003 ultrasonic testing device, ensuring seamless integration with existing workshop equipment.
CFRP Diagnostics: Ideal for detecting damage (e.g., delamination, internal cracks) in carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) components such as body panels, structural parts, and cladding.
Workshop Efficiency: The standardized grid size enables faster and more uniform data acquisition, which speeds up the repair process and improves throughput time.
Durability: Made from durable plastic (kunststoff) material, which withstands the physical demands typical of a workshop environment.

This special tool belongs to Volkswagen AG Workshop Equipment category, as an accessory recommended by the manufacturer (OEM). Tools from Wieländer+Schill designated as VAS (Volkswagen Audi Seat) ensure that authorized repair shops comply with the strictest factory requirements, especially during the repair of car bodies made from new, complex materials (like CFRP).
The use of the camera template is essential for documenting and validating the repair process, as the 18 segments can precisely cover the testing area, allowing the recorded ultrasonic data to be easily assigned to the physical location.
Modern vehicles increasingly use composite materials to reduce weight and increase safety. Damage to CFRP structures is often invisible to the naked eye but can significantly affect the component's load-bearing capacity and the vehicle's passive safety functions.
The VAS 852 003/1 template and the associated ultrasonic equipment make it possible to:
Early Detection: Identification of the smallest internal defects before they reach a critical size.
Repair Area Determination: Precise delimitation of only the damaged zone, avoiding unnecessary material removal or replacement.
Quality Assurance: Inspection after repair work, verifying that the structure has been restored according to the original specifications.
This set of 10 ensures that workshops continuously have the necessary templates available, even during periods of high traffic. The lightweight, 2.7 mm thick design guarantees that the template does not interfere with ultrasonic signal transmission while providing a stable reference frame.
