Atlas – The performance benchmark for high-speed lighting using Atlas Constant Light LED technology.

The automotive industry uses various types of crash testing every day to evaluate and improve automotive safety. In a fraction of a second, all critical elements of the impact must be captured by multiple high-speed cameras.

While high-speed cameras have become more sophisticated, they cannot solve all problems facing the photographer. Along with camera optics, light is the most critical element in achieving better pictures.

The large variety of crash test scenarios are challenging for overhead and pit floodlights. Atlas offers a new modular frame design concept to better address the different needs of the different crash-test facilities.

Atlas CL4000 based systems live the idea of maximized flexibility for a lighting system with respect to size and arrangement.

The Control System

For the performance of high-speed tests, a specifically defined time sequence must be followed. Additionally, the lighting system needs to be reliably integrated into the master test control system. That is where optimum positioning and illumination configurations for each test are stored as complete files. This ensures that the lighting system will perform properly for each and every test.

The Movement System

On request, Atlas lighting systems can move in selected or all spatial directions (x-/y-/z-direction) and are fully rotational. Crash-Test photographers will always find ideal illumination of their crash test zone, independent of test scenario and size of recorded test object.
Atlas lighting can be positioned up to 3x faster than conventional systems when using special speed-drive. This is especially useful for test facilities with large distances between crash-block and car-to-car area.
