Seat belts are frequently bought and placed without much consideration for the product’s overall safety. In spite of the fact that seat belts are made to save lives, not all of them are created equally.
How a seat belt functions while being worn is referred to as performance of the seat belt. To ensure proper operation, components used in seat belt assembly must undergo testing. The equipment offers a digital display indicating the correct parameters for correctly locking the adjuster.
The Global Seat Belt Testing Equipment market accounted for $XX Billion in 2023 and is anticipated to reach $XX Billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of XX% from 2024 to 2030.
One of the best safety techniques used in the development of seat belts for vehicles is seat belt crash testing. The fundamental idea behind a seat belt is pretty straightforward and has to do with kinetic energy.
Therefore, rather than just doing static tests, all seat belt manufacturers ought to dynamically crash test their seat belt systems using particular anchor points.
The FMVSS 209 specifies a wide range of thorough testing standards for seat belts, but they do not mandate that third party testing companies carry out all of these tests.
Furthermore, and maybe more significantly, they do not demand a sled crash test with certain seat belt anchor points. A crash test is a type of destructive testing carried out to confirm crashworthiness criteria for various modes of transportation or connected systems and components.
Frontal impact sled crash testing for seat belts is an economical method of evaluating how well they will work in a real crash.
Using a deceleration sled that comes to a stop in a crash location with a hydraulic ram, GWR uses this technique to test our parts and seat belt systems.
FMVSS 208 mandates vehicle crash testing for a certain group of automobiles, however for some automakers, this can be unaffordable. The vehicle manufacturer must modify the anchorage points and conduct a new vehicle crash test if the vehicle fails the crash test as a result of the seat belt or anchorage point positions.
