Kendrion is the first to launch an 8-channel sensor cleaning module for autonomous vehicles

With the extensive use of visual sensors in high-level unmanned vehicles, traditional cleaning supply systems are independent of each other, occupying a large number of controllers, solenoid valves, pipe harnesses, water pumps and vehicle space, resulting in complex systems and difficult troubleshooting; heavy vehicle bodies and high energy consumption.

To solve the above problems, Kendrion launched the world's first innovative 8-port Sensor Cleaning Module "8SCM", which combines industry-leading solenoid valves and electronic control technologies to integrate the cleaning requirements of various sensors into an embedded electromechanical valve block system. It can distribute special cleaning fluids, air and other cleaning media to all cleaning points of the vehicle, such as lidar, cameras, front and rear lights, etc.

So what are the innovations of the 8-channel sensor cleaning module from Kendrion? Let’s take a look:

More concise and powerful

Only one wiring harness is needed to connect the ECU, power supply, and water pump, greatly simplifying the electrical connection architecture.

Only an external water pump is required, which greatly reduces the complexity of the entire system and the weight of the vehicle body compared to the independent cleaning fluid supply method, and obviously also greatly reduces the chance of failure.

Smarter and safer

With the "central brain": the electronic control unit, it can uniformly "command" each cleaning channel and quickly provide fault diagnosis and status reports in abnormal conditions.

More cleaning options

400+ cleaning combinations: 8-channel water outlet, can open any 1-3 water supply channels at the same time; can design water supply pipe diameter, water pump power and water supply volume as needed. Modular valve body, can be configured with 4-8 channels.

Since its launch, KENDRION's "8SCM" - 8-channel sensor cleaning module has been verified by many world-renowned customers. We believe that "8SCM" will provide more accurate and reliable cleaning guarantees for many sensors on unmanned vehicles.
