Child-restraint Systems (NPACS) adopted the Q dummies for their test protocols. Applications The Q6 dummy is suitable for frontal as well as side impact CRS evaluations, to be used for both homologation, consumer rating and research purposes. Applications include: ...
Consumer rating tests. The dummy has been designed to withstand impact with closing velocities up to an average Euro NCAP level. Since January, the Q6 is being used in the Euro NCAP protocols together with the Q10 dummy. Other NCAP organizations like A-NCAP will follow at a later point in time.
IES1402. Part Numbers are 033-1110 head, 033-4110 thorax, and 033-7110 pelvis. Transducers The Q6 dummy can be fitted to measure any or all of the following parameters (see also notes below): Head Standard - 3 uni-axial accelerometers in head (Ax, Ay, Az)
Page 16
At 4.3 m/s initial impact velocity the error is approximately 10%. At 6.7 m/s it is approximately 20%. 5. ASIS load-cells for the Q6 dummy are currently under development. Prototypes are available and evaluation testing is ongoing. Page 16 of 96 033-9900 User Manual Q6 (Advanced 6 year old) Rev.
Thorax and Pelvis locations will ONLY accept tri-axial transducers with a side-entry cable. The uni-axial accelerometers and mounts that can be used for the Q6 dummy are listed Table 3. The mounts and their orientation are depicted in figure 2 to 5.
The ATPS have a higher density than the removed standard foam so there is an increase to the abdomen of around 90 grams. Figure 10. CAD Picture of Q6 Abdomen showing ATPS sleeves assembled without sensors and with foam plugs for certification For information on biofidelity, sensitivity, performance, repeatability, reproducibility and injury criteria development refer to EEVC document number 661 (to be submitted summer 2016).
These cables do not need much space and ensure minimum interference with the kinematics of the dummy. In the design of the Q6 dummy, paths for the transducer cables have been defined. The general guideline is that all cables should be routed towards the thoracic spine of the dummy.
The dummy is dressed in a tight-fitting suit. This suit is an integral part of the dummy and should be worn during all tests. A full description of the instrumentation capabilities is given in section 3. The tools needed for assembly and disassembly of the Q6 dummy are: Screwdrivers. ...
Alternative Instrumentation The cavity in a Q6 dummy head is large enough to accept an array of angular velocity sensors, type -01 or ARS-06 (flanged version) (Applied Technologies – ATA Sensors). To mount these sensors, the use of an alternative accelerometer mounting base is required (part No.

3. Remove the load cell structural replacement and install the load cell (Humanetics type IF-217 or IF-218). The round base plate should be facing up, and the cable exits facing downward at the rear and the back of the neck.
Lumbar spine assembly and abdomen Instrumentation Load Cell A Humanetics IF-217 or IF-218 6-Axis Load cell may be mounted between the lumbar spine and pelvis. 1. To do so, first remove the upper torso from the lumbar spine by removing the two M6 x 43 screws.
5 before each test and certify the dummy regularly as described in chapter 8. To safeguard continuous operation with the Q6 dummy it is recommended to take and maintain the following spare parts in stock are listed in Table 16.
7. Certification Equipment Requirements The frequency of the Q6 certification and the number of tests that can be performed between certifications strongly depends on the type and severity of the tests in which the dummy is used, as well as the test frequency. Which certification tests have to be carried out depends on the dummy application (ECE-R44, NCAP, Airbag), and is different for frontal and side impact tests.

Full Body Pendulum The full body pendulum, part number 033-9920 “Q6 Probe Assembly” (see Figure 25), consists of a hollow metal tube closed at both ends, two axles with suspension pulleys and a speed vane. An accelerometer which measures the longitudinal acceleration must be mounted on the rear end.
Full body pendulum impactor suspension wire diagram Abdomen Test Rig The abdomen test compresses the abdominal insert between a Q6 abdomen certification support block (Part number TE-033-9910) and a flat plate. The support block shape matches the shape of the inside of the abdomen. The support is placed on a horizontal surface, and the abdomen is placed on the block with the front outer surface facing up.
In this chapter the certification procedures are described. Head Certification General To certify the Q6 head, remove it from the neck. The parts list for the head assembly is shown below. Description Part No.
Certification of the Neck General The neck test is a component test, which is performed using a pendulum as defined in CFR49 part 572. To certify the Q6 neck, remove it from the dummy. The complete neck consists of the following parts: Description Parts No.
The lumbar spine test is a component test, which is performed using a pendulum as defined in CFR49 part 572. To certify the Q6 lumbar spine, remove it from the dummy. The complete Lumbar Spine consists of the following parts: Description Parts No.
2. Place the “additional mass” (8.05 ± 0.025 kg.) on the top plate. This mass differs for the Q1, Q1.5 and Q3, Q6 dummies. Let the force exerted by this mass apply as indicated in Figure 33. This must be done within 10 seconds after placing the initial load.
