Ejection Mitigation System
Specialized system for evaluating vehicle ejection mitigation countermeasures, featuring precise impactor control and comprehensive data acquisition to meet FMVSS 226 requirements.
MGA Research Corporation offers a test system solution that is compliant with the specifications of the recently released Federal Regulation FMVSS 226 Ejection Mitigation. The test system is used to evaluate countermeasure designs that are intended to reduce occupant ejections in rollover or side- impact events. MGA uses this same test system in their own facilities for conducting governmental, OEM, and supplier testing.
The complete package consists of a Nitrogen-based propulsion system with an easy-to-use touch-screen interface, multi-axis test frame, state-of-the-art impactor, and various data acquisition / airbag deployment / data processing options. Training is also offered from experienced MGA test personnel who perform FMVSS 226 testing as well as many other dynamic impacts.
System Features
- Full turn-key system with installation and training from highly experienced test personnel
- Impactor delivers repeatable and consistent velocity, has
an integrated LVDT for direct displacement measurement, and is certified to the characteristics specified in the FMVSS 226 Final Rule. It is not recommended that this impactor be used for other impact tests due to the rigid certification requirements - Easy to use touchscreen controller with multiple programmable triggers for delaying the firing of the impactor, cameras, lighting, etc to within 1 ms
- Highly robust test frame
with motorized adjustability
in all three axes and a rigid, steel construction capable of withstanding high reaction forces - Control system pressure automatically ramps to the desired input and holds within +/- 0.5 psi.
- Impactor travels approximately 38 inches (960 mm)
- Data acquisition system with 16-bit ADC, Ethernet communication, and expandable ports for increased data collection
- Data processing script compatible with NI DIAdem for instant, easy, and automated data calculation and reporting
Compatibility
- This test system is compatible with all MGA impactors
