Saginomiya Technical Laboratory

Opening Soon!
Cutting-Edge Technology Testing Facility to Assist with Model-Based Design

The Saginomiya Technical Laboratory is outfitted with the latest in technology, from our DiM driving simulators to hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test systems. Our tests can be used to assess driverless cars while they are still in the design phase by measuring stability and ride comfort. By connecting our HIL systems with the driving simulators, customers can also get compatibility feedback on individual components for driverless vehicles. In addition, we have a wide range of advanced performance test equipment and general-purpose durability testing machines, allowing our expert engineers to meet diverse testing needs. Our expert engineers are trained to run a diverse range of tests to meet our customers' needs, in addition to conducting standard performance and durability analyses. Saginomiya is a leading contributor to the rapidly evolving world of Model-Based Design, offering state-of-the-art testing labs to streamline and accelerate the vehicle design process.

Features of the Saginomiya Technical Laboratory

01Immersive Product Demonstrations

Dive into Saginomiya's latest digital twin technology by experiencing first-hand the DiM150 and DiM300 driving simulators and accompanying hardware-in-the-loop simulations.
02Customer Service for Commissioned Evaluations

Saginomiya is able to accommodate a diverse set of criteria based on our customers' needs. Our test systems is designed specially to measure fatigue characteristics for individual materials or assembled products as well as their static and dynamic characteristics and other properties. Those interested may schedule a remote video conference in order to see how contract work is carried out in more detail.

Equipment

Rent our on-site DiM150 and DiM300 driving simulators and get swift feedback from our expert motion cueing engineers about driving characteristics, ride quality, AD/ADAS analysis, and other assessments that cater to distinct use-case scenarios. Component compatibility can also be tested by merging data sets with our hardware-in-the-loop simulations. Demo test drives are available for customers considering incorporating these products into their development process.

DiM Driving Simulators

The Driver-in-Motion®, or "DiM" simulator, is the latest of its kind, providing a "real-time" immersive experience of vehicle dynamics while a car model is still in early development, streamlining and accelerating the testing phase.The DiM's combined Hexapod and Tripod configuration and innovative "floating" system are the keys to its stellar performance as a motion platform simulator.
