Abstract
An apparatus for testing a vehicle airbag ECU is provided. The apparatus includes a support plate having a first surface for mounting the airbag ECU and a wheel rotatable about a rotational axis. An input chute is positioned above the wheel and configured to direct an aggregate to the wheel. A motor is connected to a power supply and drivingly connected to the wheel. A controller is programmed to operate the motor and to selectively vary a rotational speed of the motor and the wheel. The wheel is configured to project the aggregate to impact a second surface of the support plate that is opposite the first surface.
