DURABILITY TESTING

Retractor Cycler

The retractor cycler performs durability and functionality testing on seat belt retractors. 
The more advanced motorized retractor cycler performs durability and functionality testing on CAN/LIN controlled motorized seat belt retractors in both room temperature and climate chamber conditions. These test can performed with linear and non-linear spring emulation.
