The Microsys name has been associated with airbag testing products since 1992. The SureFire airbag deployment system is the oldest and most popular product that Microsys offers with over 70 installations since 1992. It's most common usage is for lot acceptance testing (LAT), conformance of production (COP) testing, development testing, and DV/PV testing.

SureFire customers include most major airbag manufacturers, instrument panel (IP) suppliers, seat suppliers and OEM's. In short, any company that produces airbags or a vehicle component that interacts with airbags use SureFire to ensure the design and quality of their product.

SureFire customers benefit from the highest levels of integration and productivity in the industry.

The Microsys cold gas airbag inflation system is used to inflate airbags using compressed air. Powered by a proprietary ultra fast high-throughput valve, the new Microsys Cold Gas System can generate pressure curves that replicate airbag inflator performance, from extremely fast inflators used with side and curtain airbags to high-volume inflators designed for passenger-side airbags.

Both single-stage and even dual-stage inflators curves can be generated, using a Microsys designed electronic firing valve that fully opens within 2 msec of the trigger pulse. The Microsys Cold Gas System allows adjustments in gas quantity from 0.5 to 8 moles, and has a speed adjustment to cover the full range of known airbag inflators.

There are several primary applications for the Microsys Cold Gas System:

Airbag module research & development
Airbag cushion fold experimentation
Cushion & fabric development
Research & development of seamless instrument panels, covers, seats
Inexpensive production testing or airbag related products

Usage Example #1: Airbag Module Development

Replacing inflators in the airbag module development process results in a faster schedule and large cost savings by eliminating the majority of prototype inflators used for design testing. Also, with the 1% repeatability of the new Microsys Cold Gas System, airbag engineers are able to quickly ascertain the effect of design changes.

In use, the Cold Gas System is connected to an airbag and the airbag deployed. System settings are adjusted until the airbag deployment performance is satisfactory. Then the Cold Gas System is connected to a test tank and the pressure curve from that test becomes the specifications for the airbag inflator.

Usage Example #2: Instrument Panel (IP) or Airbag Cushion R&D

For interiors companies developing seamless instrument panels or seats, or for cushion designers, the Microsys Cold Gas System can replace inflators for most R&D testing. This allows engineers to easily adjust the airbag speed and pressure to determine the effect on their product, which is impossible to do using live inflators. Compared to using inflators the Microsys Cold Gas System offers more than better product designs; it is also far more repeatable, allows for faster cycle times, and saves the cost of expensive live airbags. Usage is similar to example #1 above.

Usage Example #3: To replace an inflator for Production Testing

In this mode the Microsys Cold Gas System is an inexpensive, adjustable and repeatable substitute for an actual inflator. Prior to use the System performance must be calibrated by connecting the output to a test tank, typically either 60L or 28.3L. The Cold Gas System settings would be adjusted until the test tank pressure curve is equivalent to the pressure curve of the inflator it is replacing. At this point the Cold Gas System may be connected to an airbag for deployment.

Microsys inflator test tanks lead the industry in terms of features and productivity.

For example, the Microsys iTank includes a submarine style door for easy access without the need for power tools. A water cooling jacket allows for very fast test cycle times by rapidly bringing the tank wall temperature back to ambient levels.

Size availability include 28.3L (1 cubic foot) and 60L, as well as several other popular sizes.

Microsys iTanks are designed to operate both independently or conjunction with the SureFire Inflator Test System.
