Cellbond - Automotive safety testing solution

Cellbond is a company specializing in providing products and solutions for automotive safety testing . Cellbond's products are used in the development, evaluation, and verification of vehicle safety, particularly in crash tests and occupant protection.

Cellbond's product portfolio includes several key equipment groups such as Deformable Barriers, Impactors, test equipment, calibration equipment, Test Rigs, and Fixtures .

These products are designed to create stable, accurate, and repeatable test conditions , helping automakers and testing laboratories objectively assess vehicle safety performance.

In the context of the automotive industry's increasingly stringent safety requirements, the use of highly accurate and reliable testing equipment plays a crucial role in product development.

1. The role of Cellbond in automotive safety testing

Safety testing is a crucial part of the car development process. Before a model is released to the market, manufacturers need to conduct numerous different tests to assess its ability to protect occupants, pedestrians, and other road users.

Depending on the purpose of the test, engineers may use various types of equipment such as:

- Crash Test Dummy
- Deformable Barrier
- Impactor
- Headform
- Legform
- Measurement system
- Calibration equipment
- Test Rig and Fixture

In this system, Cellbond focuses on providing critical equipment and components for crash testing and vehicle safety evaluation .

The general process can be visualized as follows:

Vehicle development → Identify safety requirements → Establish testing procedures → Conduct crash/impact tests → Collect data → Evaluate results → Improve vehicle design

Through this process, engineers can identify design limitations and propose solutions to improve vehicle safety.

2. Cellbond's main product groups

2.1. Deformable Barrier

Deformable barriers are one of the important products in the field of automotive crash testing.

Deformable barriers are used to simulate the impact characteristics of a vehicle or other structure in crash tests.

Cellbond offers a wide range of Deformable Barriers to suit various testing methods, such as:

- MDB – Moving Deformable Barrier
- ODB – Offset Deformable Barrier
- MPDB – Mobile Progressive Deformable Barrier
- AE-MDB – Advanced European Mobile Deformable Barrier
- Other types of specialized barriers

In a crash test, the deformation characteristics and energy absorption capacity of the barrier directly influence the test results.

Therefore, the uniformity, accuracy, and repeatability of the Deformable Barrier are crucial factors.

3. Impactor

An impactor is a device designed to create a controlled impact on a specific part or area of a vehicle.

Unlike Crash Test Dummy – which simulates all or part of the human body in crash tests – Impactor is typically designed for a specific testing purpose .

Impactors are used in a variety of applications, particularly in assessing pedestrian protection.

Some typical applications include:

- Headform Impact Test
- Legform Impact Test
- Pedestrian Protection Test
- Bumper Impact Test
- Component Impact Test
- Tests to evaluate the vehicle's structure.

For example, in pedestrian protection testing, a Headform Impactor can be used to simulate the impact of the head on different areas of the front of the vehicle.

Similarly, Legform Impactor is used to assess the characteristics of the frontal impact area and related structures in the event of a collision with a pedestrian's foot.

The data obtained from these tests helps engineers assess the risk of injury and optimize the design of the front end of the vehicle.

4. Testing and calibration equipment

Besides the products directly involved in the crash test process, calibration and testing equipment also play a very important role.

After a period of use, the mechanical properties and measurement capabilities of the equipment may change. Therefore, testing equipment needs to be inspected and calibrated periodically to ensure it meets technical requirements.

5. The importance of accuracy and repeatability

In automotive safety testing, simply completing a test isn't enough. The test results need to be reliable and repeatable.

When performing the same experiment under the same conditions, the results obtained should be consistent.

Several factors can affect the repeatability of an experiment, including:

- Characteristics of Deformable Barriers
- Characteristics of Impactor
- Test speed
- Angle of impact
- Device placement
- Environmental conditions
- Calibration status
- Measurement system

Therefore, using high-quality and well-controlled testing equipment will help reduce discrepancies between tests.

This is one of the key factors that helps engineers compare test results, identify problems, and make decisions about improving vehicle design .

6. Applications of Cellbond products

Cellbond products can be used in a wide variety of applications within the automotive industry.

6.1. Vehicle Development

During vehicle development, engineers conduct numerous physical tests to assess the crash resistance and protective capabilities of the vehicle's structure.

6.2. Crash Testing

Deformable barriers and other test devices are used to replicate specific collision scenarios under controlled conditions.

6.3. Pedestrian Protection

Headforms, legforms, and specialized impactors are used to assess pedestrian protection in the event of a frontal collision.

6.4. Regulatory Testing

Testing equipment can be used to perform tests in accordance with relevant regulations, standards, and test methods.

6.5. Consumer Safety Testing

Automakers and testing laboratories can also use these products in consumer safety evaluation programs.

6.6. Research and Development
