Leak Testing

Adaptek Systems offers several leak testing options from simple pressure or vacuum decay to flow testing and mass spectrometer systems. These systems can be designed as basic low volume lab testers to high volume production systems capable of producing hundreds of part per hour. Adaptek's leak test capabilities range from gross leakage to leaks as small as 10-9 standard CC/sec, depending on the test media.

The main purpose for automated leak testing in this fashion is to detect small voids or leak paths which would affect the performance of the final product's overall expected life cycle. Many critical products in medical, automotive and commercial industries are more and more likely to now require leak testing prior to shipment. Components requiring a hermetic seal and almost always subjected to a 100% final leak test.

Typical Products That Are Key Candidates for Leak Testing Include:

  • Small Part Handling and Assembly
  • Fuel Injectors
  • Sensors Electronic Control Modules
  • Appliance Components
  • Sealed Motors
  • Resivoirs
  • Solenoid Valves
  • Filters

Leak testing systems can be configured as independent, stand alone stations or incorporated into one of the many other custom automation systems that Adaptek Systems typically provides. Based on total cycle time requirements and the test methods selected, systems can be provided as single or multiple heads with options such as pass/fail markings, automated part loading and unloading, data acquisition and SPC capable.

Leak testing systems from Adaptek can be built to test almost any aspect of a part or product.

Typical systems range in throughput from a few hundred parts per hour to up to 1800 parts per hour per cell. Completed individual production lines have exceeded 17 million parts per year, achieving the highest levels of reliability.

Additionally, the Adaptek Systems team has developed two exclusive automated transfer systems to greatly improve your return on investment and your flexibility on the production floor. Our patent pending Modular Station Ring Dial Transfer and Modular Linear Palletized Transfer have both been designed to finally answer the need for a truly flexible, automated processing system platform.
