Comfort tests of vehicle seats

Battenberg Robotic Measuring tests seating comfort, seat adjustment operators and the durability of vehicle seats when entering and exiting. The Battenberg Robotic Measuring system positions and moves test dummies and test tools on and over the vehicle seats.

Comfort tests of vehicle seats

Checking vehicle seats for comfort, easy entry and exit, adjustment mechanisms or electric switches for lengthwise, height and backrest adjustment as well as for headrest height adjustment

Battenberg Robotic Measuring tests seating comfort, seat adjustment operators and the durability of vehicle seats when entering and exiting. The Battenberg robotic measurement system positions and moves test dummies and test tools on and over the vehicle seats. Using a real-time controller and CAD interface, the measurement points and every movement path are programmed quickly and easily.

Use of force sensors and special tools

Battenberg Robotic Measuring is equipped with force sensors and uses special haptic tools to introduce force into the vehicle seat or actuates the seat adjustment mechanisms to adjust the length, height, backrest and headrest.

Battenberg Robotic Measuring guides a dummy buttock or back shell across the seat with constantly controlled forces. The movement path is adjusted in real time to the behavior of the upholstery in real time, so that every test movement is carried out with a constant introduction of force. This optimally tests the behavior of the foam and the cover. The handles for lengthwise, height and backrest adjustment as well as for headrest height adjustment are operated via the Battenberg measuring robot and carries out the seat adjustment processes. The necessary operators are measured, analyzed and evaluated over the course of the force and path. In the longitudinal and height adjustment, the adjustment path of the seat carried out per move is measured; in the case of headrest height adjustment, the number of detected snaps is measured in addition to the actuating force and the adjustment path. Electrical switches for seat adjustment can also be operated.

Testing of measurement robots to ensure quality and function

The measuring robots are specified and defined as a measurement reference in order to create a clear basis for decision-making for the final product evaluation and its approval.

Recognized and valued as a benchmark to meet the OEMs' and suppliers' acceptance scenario and to verify test results in accordance with contracted product specifications, with the aim of accepting the manufacturing quality of the product. Our factory standards and validations guarantee accurate product quality ratings, which are confirmed by our clients' auditors.

Quality assurance for global customers from the automotive, medical, aviation and lifestyle industries

The Battenberg Robotic Measuring is already being used by many OEMs and their suppliers as a standard and reference in quality assurance.

A wide range of global customers from the automotive, medical, aviation and lifestyle industries, such as BMW, VW, Audi, Ford, Daimler, Continental, Forvia, Hella, B. Braun, P&G and Lufthansa rely on Battenberg Robotic Measuring. We export our robotic measurement systems worldwide and offer service and maintenance for them.
