Case Study: Global Bus Manufacturer achieves faster, standards-compliant seat belt testing with TBG Solutions

Global Bus Manufacturer tests seat belt quality with TBG Solutions in under 1 second

TBG Solutions was approached by a global bus manufacturer with the challenge of testing seat belt quality across a wide range of bus seat configurations. The customer needed a system to control multiple air-driven rams to apply precise loads while monitoring the force on the restraints, a critical requirement for meeting stringent international safety standards. Tests had to be highly accurate and repeatable, sometimes simulating extreme decelerations of up to 1000m/s² in less than a second.

TBG Solutions engineered a scalable automated test system using a National Instruments LabVIEW and cRIO platform. This provided granular PID control, seamless integration of various sensors, and the ability to generate professional reports. The solution delivered unparalleled accuracy and simplicity, allowing the customer to ensure all products adhered to international standards. TBG Solutions' system offered a high degree of flexibility and was easily expandable for future testing needs.
