Airbag Ignition System

Airbag Stationary Ignition System

        The airbag static initiator ATH-4S, as an upgraded version of the AT-4S, features optimized interfaces and enhanced performance. It simplifies testing for automotive airbags, gas generators, seat belts, and active hood systems. With the ATH-4S as the core component, engineers can quickly build the required initiation test system.

       Product Features
  • 4-channel independent ignition output, supporting multi-stage ignition of airbags;
  • Independent trigger input interface (Switch & TTL), compatible with buttons or for integration purposes (such as connecting to impact devices, speedometers, or switch sensors);
  • Ethernet communication facilitates easy access to other networks;
  • 8-channel sensor inputs with LEMO interfaces, compatible with sensors for gas pressure, force, displacement, acceleration, etc. 50kHz per channel synchronous acquisition, 16-bit A/D conversion, built-in data storage;
  • 8-channel digital inputs for status feedback from peripheral devices (Safety Lock, camera armed, door lock, installation/movement in place of the ignition object, etc.);
  • 8-channel digital output enables armed alarm output, supplementary light activation, high-speed camera ARM execution, door lock control, exhaust fan operation, etc;
  • 6-channel synchronous trigger output, BNC interface, capable of triggering high-speed cameras and other data acquisition equipment;
  • 100V~250VAC power supply;
  • 19-inch 2U brushed aluminum chassis, can be placed on a desktop or rack-mounted in a control cabinet.

​      Test data
  • Provide the configuration data and resistance values for the firing circuit;
  • Provide the original sensor and firing voltage/current data in CSV and ISO MME formats;
  • Provide the ISO MME data viewing and processing tool MME-Viewer software, which supports data offset, CFC filtering, and filtered data extraction with Excel export.

       Auxiliary equipment
  • Third-party high-speed cameras, fill lights, pressure vessels, etc., can be provided;
  • Pressure Vessel:
  • Used for generator explosion tests such as those for airbags;
  • Complies with the technical requirements of SAE J2238 and USCAR-24;
  • Available in two specifications: 60L and 28.3L;
  • Manufactured using stainless steel welding technology, meeting the technical requirements of JB/T4709-2000;
  • Complies with the product requirements of GB150-1998 for pressure vessels;
  • Equipped with mounting holes for pressure sensors and other sensors, as well as a safety valve;
  • Adjustable angle and movable.
      This pressure vessel is designed for generator explosion tests, featuring fast cooling to facilitate continuous explosion testing. The opening of the pressure vessel can be rotated to meet installation requirements for different tests and for dust collection. The entire pressure vessel is fixed on a movable stand for easy relocation to different testing areas. It includes a pressure sensor interface (temperature sensors can also be installed). Its unique end cap design allows for the installation of different types of generators.
  • Pressure Sensor: JEBOOL AP500K or MP500K for airbag explosion and pressure retention tests; AP1000K or AP2000K for pressure vessel tests.

Pressure sensor
 
  • Displacement sensors (draw-wire type and laser reflection type);
  • Trigger flash (for verifying the moment of explosion);
  • Explosion control console cart (easy to move, can accommodate the exploder, computer, cable accessories, tools, etc.).
