We specialize in Research impact testing and will conduct just about any test configuration our customer can imagine. Our team of trained engineers and technicians will elaborate custom testing procedures, document them and apply them so that the tests can be repeated in the exact same conditions. All information, photographs and data regarding the tests are then recorded on CD ROM and handled over to the customer. Our test reports are precise and comprehensive.

All test may also be performed by your own team of experts as PMG also rents out its facilities and equipment.

THE "VTS"

Our Vehicle Test Structure (VTS) consists of hydraulic cylinders capable of applying physical force on a test sample. This unit can be used both for cars and vans. Its hydraulic system can handle loads up to 60 000 lbf (267 kN). All operations are directed from the control room by graphic oriented software.

The VTS is set up to verify safety and quality standards for items such as seat belt anchorages, roofs, doors, seats, windows and school bus seats and much more.

SPECIALIZED SOFTWARES

PMG Technologies has developed and improved software programs to better serve their clients. These programs are used in combination with servo-controllers and signal conditioners in order to measure deformation versus applied load during a test.

Numerous software configurations have been elaborated to verify compliance to FMVSS and CMVSS standards and to conduct tests for certification or research and development.
