Solutions for automotive power delivery leak testing equipment.

Power delivery parts are critical in the Automotive Industry assembly process. To ensure these parts perform as designed they must be leak tested to ensure internal volume integrity.

Typically, the leak test of fuel rails is performed with the use of a Tracer Leak detector in the 500 -03 sensitivity range.  However, there are some applications that are less or more sensitive. Most Tier Suppliers will require a production rate of110 parts per hour and are typically tested in a Small Hard Vac or Small Hard Vac customized system. 

Key Considerations for the accurate and repeatable test of fuel rails are:

• High or low pressure
• Need to accommodate both sub-assembly (L/R) and full assembly
• With and without injection influences sealing/fixturing design

Vacuum Instruments Corporation has been designing and manufacturing customized systems to test these parts as well as other Power Delivery Applications for decades. During this time, we have developed and innovated several System, Test and or Fixturing differentiators, including:

• Interchangeable chambers/carts allowing asset repurpose/multiple programs
• Smaller footprint than competitors
• Aluminum Billet design allows the chamber to repurpose for high or low pressure
