Presentation

Development of methodology to determine center of gravity on vehicle seats

This presentation brings an opportunity to review new measurement system for determination of center of gravity (CG) on vehicle seats. In certain seat testing process, CG is required to be known. Using the CG information, setup of seat durability testing can be determined with following industrial regulation e.g. FMVSS210. Kyowa has developed new 3D seat gravity test system to provide automated CG determination process and more consistency of test results than conventional test method.
