Testing Services

With the help of detailed data and visuals from crash testing, rollover testing and environmental testing, client engineers can assess performance of occupant protection products, as well as study multiple aspects of crashworthiness to aid in the development of future products.

CAPE offers customers a fully equipped machine shop for fixture fabrication, as well as secure work bays that accommodate virtually any size vehicle for test preparation and fabrication. Engineers can work with customers to quantify material properties and test the performance of their designs on-site, with an immediate feedback loop that helps enable swift development. CAPE staff members can quickly respond to testing challenges, including component modifications as required.

High-Speed video cameras, sophisticated test dummies and specialized data acquisition systems are used to quantify product performance with accurate, timely results and powerful images. Motion analysis and computer simulation modes enable CAPE personnel to provide valuable information that enables customers to meet a wide variety of test objectives.
