NEW PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT, PERFORMANCE VALIDATION & CRASH SAFETY 

Testing Challenges:

  • Dynamic, high-energy test environments
  • Environmental and weather factors
  • Flexibility for full-scale crash testing and component testing
  • Size and mass constraints
  • Complications with cabling to sensors

DTS Key Features:

  • Miniature, rugged data acquisition systems and sensors
  • Designed to be positioned near sensors, eliminating long cable runs
  • Modular and configurable onboard solutions
  • User-programmable sampling rates and high-bandwidth options
  • Onboard memory and options for real-time streaming

DID YOU KNOW? (Pictured above, top right) The industrial solutions company eXcent selected the SLICE NANO to evaluate an innovative motorbike fork design featuring a deformable quadrilateral overlap, a departure from the traditional telescopic fork. The miniature, rugged DAQ unit was mounted directly on the fork, which eliminated complicated cable runs. This setup allowed the eXcentive fork to go through real-world strain, acceleration, and vibration testing at the Circuit de Nogaro race track in France. The data gathered was used for product development and validation.
