A standardized pendulum impact test rig is available for evaluating energy-absorbing interior components. The impact pendulum is mounted on a frame with six degrees of freedom, allowing for highly flexible test setups. Thanks to its compact design, tests can also be carried out in confined spaces – such as within a vehicle interior.
Component and type approval tests are conducted in cooperation with various recognized technical services.
