RSSNasatka Security has announced that its NMSB IIID steel plate vehicle barrier exceeded the expectations of the US Department of State (DOS) active vehicle barrier cycle test specification, by completing nearly 1.5 million up/down cycles of continuous operation between April and September 2011. Under the specification, the barrier was run non-stop, with no allowance for pausing the test for preventative maintenance or inspections.
The cycle testing was performed at the232 Texas Transportation Institute at the Texas A&M University System, in College Station, Texas. The IIID electric barrier successfully completed 1,491,455 cycles, before a replaceable cable failed.
“Through the use of linear actuators and better system control accommodated with electric servo drive technology, Nasatka's IIID electric barrier ran uninterrupted for what totals over five years of barrier cycles at a high vehicle volume site," said David Natelson, president of Nasatka Security.
