Introducing

HS Impact

The High Speed Impact Pressure Imaging System

A Whole New Way to Measure Safety
How can designers minimize the elevated body surface pressures and verify performance ofhead restraints and seat backs during rear impacts? How much pressure is being exerted on adriver from airbags and seatbelts during front impacts? Questions like these are impossible toanswer without the ability to measure the body surface pressures caused by such impacts. Until
now, that information has been unattainable. That’s why XSENSOR developed HS Impact.
Acquiring accurate pressure information during sudden impacts requires fast and responsive pressure imagingsensors combined with powerful software tools. HS Impact provides detail on surface pressures before, at,and after impact, allowing engineers to isolate issues and implement effective changes that can then be measured and repeated. Never before has the automotive industry had the ability to measure pressure profiles atsuch high speeds.

High Speed Data Capture

Impact Data Analysis

HS Impact’s HX sensors contain thousands of sensing
points that are sampled at over 2,000 frames per second.*
Our unique data logger can be attached to crash sleds andtriggered remotely for repeated testing procedures.

XSENSOR’s feature-rich HS V8 software allows you to view
live or post-process and then analyze the data. Recordings
can be triggered remotely and synchronized with other highspeed data acquisition devices allowing you to:

HX sensors are thin and conformable, with a fast response
rate and high-speed calibration that provides consistent andrepeatable results on a cell by cell basis so you are able tocapture exactly what happens during and after an impact.

HS V8 Software- Establishes recording rates and synchronization protocols to generate high speed data acquisition- Data files recorded to the data logger are downloaded and configured for viewing and analysis- Frame rates exceeding 1,000 fps (with an Ethernet connection from the data logger)
HS Data Logger- Configures and controls the HS Sensor Pack
- Detects user defined trigger condition- Records data from up to 4 sensor packs to and up to a total 256 x 256 sensing array- Operates in either streaming to Ethernet or downloadable from high speed recording internal RAM- Programmable triggers and pre/post-trigger information (both external signal or pressure threshold triggers are supported)- Supports autonomous operation
HS Sensor Pack
- Scans sensor data at up to 8,000,000 sensels/second with 16 bit resolution- Connects directly to the controller via LVDS signals*Frames per second refers to the actual number of frames of data recorded and those can be viewed with the software. Frame rates estimated using theHS Controller in data logging mode.
