Vehicle Impact Testing (VIT)
Airbags and Components
A faulty airbag explodes at 300 miles-per-hour, while a loose cup holder becomes a lethal projectile during a car accident, potentially harming a passenger. Even the slightest error in a vehicle’s
components could be disastrous, which is why vehicle impact crash test researchers worldwide use Redlake’s high-speed MotionXtra cameras to perform airbag and component tests in their labs every day.
Redlake’s durable MotionXtra camera systems utilize high-speed and superior resolution capabilities with sophisticated dynamic range for outstanding imaging performance during both dynamic and static airbag and components tests. Whether imaging airbag tests within enclosed environmental chambers, or strapped to the interior of a vehicle to image barrier crash tests, Redlake’s MotionXtra cameras offer unlimited imaging capabilities to a wide range of airbags and component tests, including:
- Airbag Lot Acceptance Tests
- Dynamic Sled Testing
- Automotive Impact Safety Testing
- Seatbelt Testing (webbing, latch mechanisms, retractors and seat anchors)
- Seat Testing
- Steering wheel columns
- Windshields
- Interiors Trunk & Door Slam Tests
- and more
Redlake’s latest MotionXtra HG-XR camera system offers revolutionary imaging capabilities for high-velocity crash tests, featuring outstanding dynamic range capabilities and extra long recording times. While dynamic airbag and components tests such as Sled and Barrier Tests are primarily imaged using all of Redlake’s MotionXtra systems (including the MotionXtra HG-SE, MotionXtra HG-TH, MotionXtra HG-LE, MotionXtra HG100K, and MotionXtra HG-XR), due to their high-speed, superior resolution capabilities, and rugged designs, static tests such as Trunk Slam Tests and Airbag Lot Tests are normally imaged using the MotionXtra HG-LE, which is a low-cost alternative to the more sophisticated MotionXtra designs.
