Sled Facilities
The advanced Crash Simulation Test Systems in collaboration with Additium—engineered to accurately replicate real-world crash scenarios under controlled laboratory conditions.
This system utilizes a direct catapult mechanism to propel a guided sled carrying the test specimen to a predefined speed, followed by controlled deceleration based on regulatory impact curves. The result is highly repeatable and standards-compliant crash simulation for safety validation and homologation testing.
Real-World Crash Replication
Designed for automotive safety and component validation, the system enables:
- Accurate acceleration and deceleration profiles based on global regulations
- Controlled crash pulse generation for realistic impact simulation
- Repeatable test conditions for reliable performance evaluation
- Validation of safety systems such as belts, airbags, and child restraints
Flexible Propulsion & Deceleration Options
To meet diverse testing requirements, the system offers configurable mechanisms:
Propulsion Options
- Electric Drive System – High precision, programmable speed control
- Bungee Cord System – Cost-effective and reliable energy storage solution
Deceleration Options
- Polyurethane Tube System – Smooth and controlled energy absorption
- Bending Bar Barrier – Accurate replication of crash pulses as per standards
