Safety always comes first
We use our knowledge, experience and attention to detail to create vehicles with better crash characteristics and to make life in and around our vehicles, safer.
For more than half a century, Klippan Safety has worked to make road traffic safer. We have developed new products and materials and invested in our own crash test track to ensure we can test our ideas and products as close to reality as possible.
Safety is a growing area of focus for today's automotive industry. With our extensive experience, we are at the forefront of the development of security. That's why you'll find Klippan Safety's products on the roads all over the world.
Can the product meet reality?
The crash test track provides the answer.
Safety and crash characteristics is a vital area in the automotive industry.
That is why we have invested in our own crash test track within Klippan Safety. Being able to quickly and easily test product ideas in-house, provides unbeatable knowledge.
The crash test track gives us the opportunity to develop products with better crash properties, thereby reducing the risks during transport. This competence centre for safety technology is not only used for internal development projects, but we can also offer testing and our expertise for organizations outside the company.
With the crash test track, we can test all typical crash pulses used in automotive systems today, with decelerations up to and past 50 g. The track is operated by experienced engineers with extensive knowledge of crash testing and simulation. Klippan Safety performs both static and dynamic tests to ensure that legal and customer-specific requirements are met.
The crash test track is based on a sled with universal mounting options and is accelerated by a set of elastic bands. The sled is retarded by plastic deformation of steel bars, which allows a precise regulation of the crash pulse. The initial speed at impact and the deceleration curve can be adapted for each load and crash occasion, to generate a precise and accurate crash pulse.
