In this feature we are highlighting an upgrade we carried out for one of our global customers. Our longstanding customer had an original Hydratron gas test rig, which was supplied 20 years ago and configured for single item, manual operation only.
The purpose of the upgrade was to increase throughput and replace the original equipment with a new gas test bench equipped to perform high-pressure nitrogen testing and external helium leak testing on up to 5 devices under vacuum simultaneously. The system is installed in a class 100 (ISO5) cleanroom.
All instrumentation and controls are mounted on a stainless-steel control panel situated at a convenient working height for easy operation. The equipment is assembled within a robust stainless-steel cabinet having removable panels at the front and rear for ease of maintenance.
The cabinet has been designed with ease of maintenance and manoeuvrability in mind, fork-lift truck pockets have been integrated into the underside of the cabinet to facilitate easy loading/unloading and castors to permit easy mobility. Hydratron’s engineers attended site to assist with the commissioning and Site Acceptance Testing, a provision we offer all customers, anywhere in the world.
