A Cost-Effective Alternative to R100 Deceleration Sled Testing for EV Battery Safety Validation

Customer: SK On Hungary Kft. 

Industry: EV Battery Manufacturing
Application: High-Energy Mechanical Shock Testing
Equipment: KRD12-200S High-Energy Shock Test System

Challenge

As EV battery safety requirements continue to increase, battery manufacturers must perform high-energy mechanical shock testing to validate product performance under vehicle crash, transportation, and extreme operating conditions.

SK On Hungary Kft. needed an effective solution to test battery modules and battery packs while maintaining compliance with industry standards.

Traditional UN ECE R100 deceleration sled testing can simulate real crash events, but it also presents several challenges:

• High capital investment;
• Significant infrastructure and facility requirements;
• Long laboratory construction periods;
• Large installation footprint;
• High operating and maintenance costs;
• Limited flexibility for rapid product development and validation.

SK On Hungary Kft. was seeking a more efficient and cost-effective solution that could maintain testing capability while reducing overall investment.

Solution

To address these challenges, CME supplied the KRD12-200S High-Energy Shock Test System.

The system generates precisely controlled high-energy shock pulses to simulate the mechanical loads experienced by EV batteries during vehicle crashes, providing a practical and economical alternative to conventional R100 deceleration sled testing.
