"Newton" Fiberglass-Epoxy Thermal Manikin
(Download Product PDF >>)

"Newton" is constructed of a thermally conductive carbon-epoxy system with embedded distributed heating and sensor wire elements. The popular "Newton" manikin system is a variation of our research-quality "Huey" aluminum model, with simplified construction and modular control electronics to help bring system cost into the realm of commercial users. The mass and thermal properties of this manikin can be adjusted during construction for rapid transient response or easier handling. Available body forms now include 50th percentile Western Male, 50th percentile Asian Male, and 50th percentile Western Female.

As with our other thermal manikin models, "Newton" is fully jointed, providing motion at the ankles, elbows, knees, and hips (optional joints at the wrists and neck) to allow virtually any possible body pose. Joints feature adjustable friction with positive stops, and all packages include Measurement Technology Northwest's automatic manikin control software, ThermDac.

Our optional walking system includes a roll-around stand with an integral winch to aid in lifting, dressing, positioning, and transporting the manikin. This stand supports the motor and the quick-connect rod actuators needed to generate a walking motion. Operating speed is continuously variable up to 50 double-steps per minute, using any degree of elbow/knee joint flexure.

The system is easily operated by a single person, and its compact size reduces lab storage requirements.
