RACING FOR THE WIN

PERFORMANCE & SAFETY TESTING ON THE TRACK AND IN THE LAB

The Challenge:

• Testing race vehicles for structural integrity, performance and driver safety
• Instrumentation that meets shock, size and low mass requirements
• Modular systems that can test chassis vibration, restraints and crash incidents
• Set up time, especially for field testing during race events
• Sensor support for variety of sensors including accelerometers, strain gages, load cells, etc.

The Solution:

• Ultra-small DTS data acquisition systems and sensors
• Modular systems, small enough to embed in or on test article, including ATDs
• Positioning DAS near the sensors eliminates complicated cable runs
• Standalone systems, easy set-up and intuitive software
• Store in place reliability, data writes directly to flash memory
• Trusted complete solution provider and expert in automotive safety testing
• NASCAR, FIA/Formula One, test labs and universities worldwide rely on DTS instrumentation
