Band-IT Intelligent Clamping Solutions

Band-IT offers Dual-lokt® intelligent clamping system secures the #1 position for safety restraint leader. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development includes a target to reduce road traffic deaths and injuries by 50% by 2020. Commented by World Health Organization.

Airbag systems in vehicles today take passenger safety to a new level of effectiveness. For the number one safety restraint company in the world, a cutting-edge installation system ensures that airbags deploy and protect as designed, and faster and easier installation creates a competitive differentiator. Band-IT clamping solutions offer it.

The mother of development is a necessity

In addition to the simple fact that people prefer to buy safer vehicles, industry regulations put pressure on auto manufacturers to develop safety solutions that reduce traffic deaths and injuries. We need to understand why Band-IT clamping solutions are better. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration stipulates that side airbags need to deploy in less than 1/20th of a second. Current airbag deployment designs can meet that requirement.

Unfortunately, the industry-standard airbag clamping system capabilities are exceeded by those designs. That problem sent Band-IT to the drawing board. Airbags in automobiles were introduced in the late 1960s. In 1995, Volvo began offering side airbags and torso side protection airbags as an option on its 850 models.

What makes dual-lokt better?

Based on the customer's requirements, BAND-IT developed the patented Dual-Lokt Intelligent Band-IT Clamping System. The speediest, most accurate and ergonomic installation airbag clamp system in the world. The Dual Lokt Clamp is the heart of the solution, that exhibits extreme diameter reduction, 2 1/2 times greater loop tensile strength than the competitor’s system. It is manufactured with materials chosen for optimal performance and price.

Band-it also invented an installation system. It’s managed by a programmable logic controller (PLC), that provided never-before achieved control and accuracy in the installation process. The system set a new global standard for a clamping system installation on Automotive Safety Products.
