Fast and Responsive Sensors
For design and safety engineers who want to see pressure distribution data to better understand the performance of their designs, XSENSOR designed the HS Impact system. Acquiring accurate pressure information during vehicle safety tests requires fast and responsive pressure imaging sensors, combined with powerful software tools. HS Impact provides detail on surface pressures before, at, and after impact, allowing engineers to isolate issues and implement effective changes that can then be measured. Unlike competitors, XSENSOR’s high speed system delivers the same accuracy and repeatability as our industry leading LX sensors. The HX sensors are factory calibrated in our ISO17025 accredited, facility and remain accurate without equilibration or recalibration.
HS Impact’s HX sensors contain thousands of sensing points that are sampled at over 2,000 frames per second.* The unique data logger can be attached to crash sleds or other test apparatus and triggered remotely for repeated testing procedures. The HX sensors are thin and conformable, with a fast response rate and high-speed calibration that provides consistent and repeatable results on a cell by cell basis so you are able to capture exactly what happens during and after an impact. XSENSOR’s feature-rich HS Pro V8 software allows you to view live or post-process, and then analyze the data.
Never before has the automotive industry had the ability to measure pressure profiles at such high speeds to evaluate the performance of designs intended to ensure passenger safety. Additional applications for impact pressure imaging include design of helmets and sports protective wear, soldier and service protective wear, fall protection and footwear.
