If simulation and reality match, it is evident that the system is well-designed.
We had the opportunity to test the new barrier-free access system “sMove_Wave” from SKIDATA at our Test Institute. Compared to traditional turning gates, this gate is mounted in a suspended position, which places special demands on its stability.
In four test runs – static and dynamic – we loaded the system on the Hydropulse testing field using a hydropulse cylinder and deliberately pushed it to its limits.
The result:
• The breaking force was almost twice as high as required by the customer
• The internally simulated weak point occurred exactly as expected – a direct hit in the validation
💡 Particularly notable: The flexible test strategy
In direct consultation with the SKIDATA technicians, who were present, a short-term decision was made on site to carry out a breaking force determination in addition to the planned load test – to ensure that the results matched the internal calculations. This provided real added value for development and safety validation.
We are delighted to be contributing to the safety validation of modern access technology.
