Safety & Testing

The state-of-the-art Crash Test System was built in 2018 November to simulate the real life vehicle crash in laboratory. Allowing the cost and time consumption drop dramatically, it also helps to speed up the research and development activities. Thanks to its high precision, there is no need to extra hours of trial shots. Different types of frontal impacts, rear impacts, luggage retention tests and whiplash tests can be performed with a variety of test dummies. For external visitors and customers, there are private rooms for working with full connection accessibility but limited access to the test hall in order to protect confidentiality.

Airbag Test System is configured to perform Seat / Side Airbag, IP Passenger Airbag and IP Knee Airbag Tests by high-speed cameras and automatic lighting system.

Seat & Seat Belt Anchorages Strength Test System has the stand-alone running servo-hydraulic actuators to provide requested loads.

One actuator can be used for pulling test system with 1 m./sec.

Energy Absorption Test System is used to determine energy absorption of the vehicle components.

Static Load Test System is able to test the performance of headrests and strength of seat-backs.

Different types of vibration test systems as 6 DOF & 3 consecutive axis in climatic chamber & vertical axis in semi anechoic test chamber are constructed to perform vibration durability tests, and vibration acoustic analysis.

Temperature & Humidity Range: -40°C to +120°C & up to 95%

Complete Seat Endurance Test Systems are configured to perform cushion and seat airbag endurance tests.

6 Axis Robotic Test Systems are constructed to perform Ingress/Egress Life Cycle Tests, Seat Fatigue Tests.

We are able to perform seat & structure & sub-components, fatigue & effort tests with 6 axis system.

We are able to perform Climatic Fatigue Tests of seats & interiors via climatic test chamber and electro-servo actuators.
-        Temperature Range: -40°C and +120°C          Humidity:  Up to 95%

We define mechanical characteristics of sheet metals & steel.

We define chemical characteristics of sheet metals & steel.

Fabric validation tests can be performed in our textile laboratory. The tests carried out in Textile laboratory can be classified in main groups.

Fabrics are subjected to abrasion tests with different weights, different materials and different motions in Martindale, MIE, Schopper, Taber, Stoll, Cesconi, Sponge Brush tester and other abrasion test machines.

With physical tests, properties such as durability, adhesion between layers, elongation under load, tear strength, seam strength of the fabrics can be checked.

Oil and water repellency and Soiling & Cleanability tests can be performed.

The dye resistance of the fabric is controlled by colour and fastness tests, such as light resistance, crocking and colour fastness to water tests, etc.  

Light resistance test is performed to see the effect of sunlight on the material with the effect of heat and humidity. This test deals with materials and passenger compartment parts such as textiles, plastics, leather, textile coated with plastic, carpet, etc. Our weather-ometers have got Xenon lamp that operates in 340 nm, 420 nm and 300-400 nm wavelengths.

Emission tests such as odor and fogging tests are performed for the determination of volatile components in materials in the vehicle. It applies to all interior trim materials (textiles, leathers, plastic-coated fabrics, etc.) and the passenger compartment parts (seat foam, instrument panel parts, rear parcel, plastics, etc).

The aging tests are carried out between -40˚C and +180˚C temperature range and 10% to 98% relative humidity range.

This test can be performed for all kind of materials (textile, vinyl, foam, leathers, plastic etc). The purpose of this test is to determine the horizontal burning rate and the type of combustion liable to occur on materials, which located inside the passenger compartment of vehicle.

Coordinate measurements are carried out with 2 fixed and 2 mobile CMM for 3 linear (X,Y,Z) and 3 radial (Rx,Ry,Rz) axes. Measurement of  critical reference points of the vehicle seat, such as the H point, IP point, CP point are carried out with the most precise measurement systems in the world.

2 different 3D body scanning computed tomography devices are used to scan the different precise components of the vehicle.

All the required test fixtures are designed and manufactured regarding test requirement.
