MINIDAU® is well aware of what crash test dummies have to go through.
Crash test dummies contribute to accident research, so to speak, with all of their physical strength. They also sacrifice themselves and their hand-built prototype vehicles for the good of mankind. Little wonder that in return they demand an accurate accident report. This is prepared by the Kayser-Threde MINIDAU® system. It is done reliably, too, because these test accidents usually cost far more than real road accidents. In a fraction of a second hundreds of sensors provide an enormous amount of data on the accident's effects on the vehicle and its passengers. All this data must then be accurately recorded and stored. MINIDAU®, originally designed for space flight, completes this earthly task with ease and also excels with astonishingly small dimensions and extreme robustness.
Having delivered more than 7,000 data acquisition channels in the last two years, Kayser-Threde has supplied 80 % of the world's crash test systems to more than 70 customers world-wide. The company is by far the world leader in this field.
K9000 has the memory of an elephant. Only that it works much better.
Elephants are said to remember things well - even after decades they still don't forget anything. Even better, and with up to 128 megabytes per second much faster, are the K9000 archiving systems designed by Kayser-Threde. They support all technical and scientific applications wherever large amounts of research data and test results have to be recorded and stored in real time. The data has to be easily retrievable also after a period of up to 30 years. K9000 systems are therefore used in aircraft engine test runs, for archiving satellite data or for engine tests in the automobile industry. Here, too, Kayser-Threde provides its customers with a comprehensive service ranging from an initial assessment to an individual system configuration and a customized financial package.
