HS Impact provides the ability to test:
○ Helmets
○ Protective Equipment
○ Ballistics

Measure Product Safety and Performance

Evaluating the performance of helmets and other protective equipment designed to prevent injury requires detailed understanding of the pressure distribution on the body surface during dynamic impacts. XSENSOR’s high speed HS Impact system combined with our thin conformable sensors allow you to accurately measure those pressures and evaluate how different design configurations affect pressure distribution on impact.

Acquiring accurate pressure information during sudden impacts requires fast and responsive pressure imaging sensors 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. Our accurate and reliable sensors measure accurately with repeated impacts without recalibration.

* 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 the HS Controller in data logging mode.
