In our efforts to continuously improve efficiency and quality, we have developed a new test bench for valves (DN2 to DN32). This enables automated pressure and leakage testing with gas up to 40 bar and sets new standards in safety and precision.

The development: from prototype to series solution

The first prototype of the test bench was already an important step: it allowed semi-automatic testing, whereby the results were still documented manually. But we wanted more.

In the latest version of the test bench, decisive further developments were implemented:

• Automatic order recognition: the test stand reads the order position and adjusts the test specifications accordingly.
• Flexible positioning system: A linear motor positions itself automatically according to the cryogenic length of the valve.
• Fully automated tests: Pressure and leakage tests are fully automated and the results flow directly into a test report.
• Maximum safety: The entire process takes place in a robust, safety-certified housing that meets the highest safety standards.

This project impressively demonstrates what is possible when different departments work closely together. The new test bench is another milestone on our path to combining innovation and quality in a sustainable way.

We look forward to using this solution not only to optimize internal processes, but also to set new standards in the industry.
