Shut-off testing.
In some particular situations, i.e. when the maximum permitted leak is too small, the only solution is to close the piece being testing inside a hermetic bell and pass to a shut-off "compliance" system, like the new T8980.
This equipment has 2 measurement sections, the first injects test air inside the piece being tested, the second measures the pressure increase inside the gaps in the containment bell. Then, if the piece being tested has a leak, it will transfer the pressure load in the bell, causing the pressure to increase inside it, which will then be detected by the leaks measurement section.
By doing so, in complete safety, very high test pressure is used (even 100 bar) and extremely low leaks are detected, even a few cc/h.

Limitless connectivity.
The new T8980 equipment includes ports for the USB slave, RS232, RS485, Profinet, EtherNet IP and EtherCAT. Assembly may also include an optional Ethernet port and a 26-pole connector with 4 inputs and 8 outputs, which are completely programmable, for interfacing with the external valves, safety barriers, switches, etc...
The front panel has a master USB port assembled on it for connection to a USB key to save the tests conducted, backup/restore parameters and upgrade tool firmware.
The connection to thermal printers, barcode/data-matrix readers and markers takes place automatically using an internal menu.

Always better measurements.
By nature, compliance technology enables a measurement sensitivity even better than absolute decay, guaranteeing a decay resolution of 0.1 Pa up to 6 bar testing.
The implementation of new pressure sensors, combined with the measurement section with centring technology in windows and double Faraday optical-isolated cage has made further improvement possible of the tool performance.

Optimised pneumatic section.
Assembly of the latest generation solenoid valves has enabled a 30% increase in the filling speed compared to the previous model, maintaining reliability unaltered over time. Our tools do not require expensive maintenance in the pneumatic department. Actually, our objective is to make them increasingly reliable and long-lasting.

Innovative design.
What appears to be a simple design exercise, in fact hides an in-depth study to make use and understanding of the tool as simple as possible.
The front panel is made of a single sheet of tempered glass and aluminium, which makes it extremely easy to clean, making the T8980 suitable for use in the laboratory and on the production line.
The extensive internal menus are easy to understand and the graphic interface was designed to only display important information.
Everything is exactly where it should be.
