Anchorage (FMVSS)
Capable of single actuator FMVSS testing such
as the 207 standard with a maximum pull load of 50,000 lbs.
Environmental Cycle
Complete temperature profiles ranging from
-73°C to 177°C with up to 95% Relative Humidity. The elevated
chamber with adjustable floor pattern allows for hydraulic,
pneumatic, and Electro-Dynamic Shaker cycling at temperature. Twin
25 HP compressors also allow for extremely fast ramp rates.
Floor Cargo
Load
Apply distributed or concentrated loads using
pneumatics or free weight systems. Displacement measurements at any
point available upon request.
Folding Seat
Durability
Customized pneumatic, hydraulic, or robotic
test set-ups designed specifically for each seat style insures
smooth cycling. Cycling of seat backs and cushions simultaneously
increases turnaround time. Cycling can be performed under
environmental conditions.
Latch
Strength
Using controlled hydraulics almost any moment
can be obtained about an H-point or seat back pivot point.
Displacement and Load vs. Time plots are available.
Lumbar
Durability
Cycle seat back lumbars on and off using
customized fixtures designed for any seat back. Controlled torque
and load requirements can be met. Cycling can be performed under
environmental conditions.
Occupant
Restraint
Using controlled hydraulics almost any moment
can be obtained about an H-point or seat back pivot point.
Displacement and Load vs. Time plots are available.
Rearward
Load Fatigue
Using pneumatics or hydraulics a rearward load
can be applied too any seat back. Pivot joints are used to allow the
loading point to rotate with the seat back. Frequencies exceeding
the standard 30 CPM can be easily obtained depending on the
flexibility of the test sample.
Rearward
Load Strength
Using controlled hydraulics almost any moment
can be obtained about an H-point or seat back pivot point.
Displacement and Load vs. Time plots are available using the
actuator LVDT, string potentiometers, and calibrated dial
indicators.
Recliner
Handle Durability
Using pneumatic or hydraulics, cycle a
recliner handle through its full range of motion until failure. Load
control at each end stop to simulate an operator over torque to the
test sample can be simulated.
Seat Riser
Strength
Using hydraulics any load up to 50,000 lbs. can
be applied anywhere to a seat track or riser assembly. Advanced
Testing & Engineering will create a customized set-up and deliver
the required data acquisition to insure precise and supported test
data.
Seat Track
Load vs. Displacement
Apply any load up to 50,000 lbs. using
hydraulics or pneumatics and record the effect it has on the system
using calibrated displacement instrumentation.
Ultimate
Load Strength
Apply any load up to 50,000 lbs. at a constant
ramp rate until sample failure. Customized set-ups insure that the
portion of the test sample being tested is the main focus and load
bearing piece. Almost any displacement or load data can be recorded
per customer specifications.
Vertical
Loading
Using pneumatics or hydraulics a required load
can be applied to any seat cushion including one with more than one
occupant position. Displacement measurements will be recorded at
locations specified by the customer.
Vibration
Vibrate any complete seat or its component at
frequencies up to 3,000 Hz. Sine, random, or sine on random
vibration profiles are available to meet customer needs. Noise and
structural evaluations are performed as the customer requires.
