Automotive
Brake Part Flow & Leak Testing
Bespoke
Solution based on Standard TQC Series 40
TQC have
recently developed an innovative system for the automatic testing
of high specification brake parts.
The operator
manually loads a part into the machine and connects the test line
to do it. Firstly, an air flow test is performed to check for blockage.
If successful, the part is automatically shrouded in a close fitting
test chamber and 3 successive leak tests are performed using a Nolek
type S9 differential leak test instrument as follows -
1. Intermediate
pressure leak test (including piston movement check)
2. Low pressure
leak test - 0.5bar
3. High pressure
leak test - upto 160 bar
Good parts
are pass stamped on completion.
Two stations allow
the leak tests to be carried out on one station while the flow test
is carried out on the other and vice versa.
To allow testing
of different sizes and types of parts, interchangeable tooling is
supplied.

Leak
Test Description
|
| |
|
| |
All
the leak tests check for zero brake fluid leakage at various
service pressure conditions. |
| |
|
|
1st
leak test is performed at 2 bar |
|
2nd
leak test is performed at 0.5 bar |
|
3rd
leak test is selectable between 35 bar and 160 bar. |
| |
Nominal
throughput is approximately 1 part per minute on a 2-station
machine. |

This bespoke
test system is based around the standard TQC series 40 range of
equipment.

If you
have any leak or flow testing requirements a cost effective solution
can be developed using standard equipment and bespoke elements as
required. If you are currently considering any type of test application
contact TQC to discuss your requirements
