Viconic Energy Absorbing System
Performance
- Loads up faster than foam
- More stroke than foam
- Highly efficient force vs. deflection curves
Benefits
- Customized performance – Impact absorber shape customized for each impact location, while competitive foam pads are mono-density
- Easily tuned – Impact absorber stiffness tuned by changing sheet thickness without need to modify tooling
- Stable – Impact absorber conforms to head shape and is suspended in shell to improve stability over foam pads
- Recoverable – Protects against multiple impacts
- Long life cycle – Made from durable and washable materials
- Prototype tooling can be easily modified to adjust design parameters as needed
- Customized structures and impact protection throughout the energy absorber
- Rapid performance optimization
Cost
- Rapid/low cost prototype development
- Lower tooling cost than foam and injection molding
Storage and Transportation
- Parts nest for up to 90% space reduction
- Requires less plant floor space, lower shipping costs, lower handling costs
