Test and Control Blocks
Eliminate Lost Time on Your Production Line
In high-volume production lines, no matter how fast your device’s testing capability is, physical processes such as the part’s expansion time or the operator’s loading and unloading speed create a bottleneck in your operation.
Adlema test and control blocks integrate seamlessly with your leak testing device to eliminate these physical and operational barriers. Equipped with zero-leak technology, these smart valve systems incorporate pick-and-place times into the test cycle and reduce stabilization times to seconds, maximizing your production capacity.
A&B Block / VY Valve System - Dual-Output Continuous Testing
The biggest time loss on a production line is the waiting time caused by the system being occupied while one product is being tested and by the need to load a new part after the test is completed. The A&B Block gives your system dual outputs, Port A and Port B, allowing operator loading time to be absorbed within the test cycle.
Step-by-Step Continuous Test Cycle:
- Port A Active: The device performs the leak test on the product connected to Port A.
- Simultaneous Loading: While the test is running on Port A, the operator connects a new product to Port B. Time loss is eliminated.
- Automatic Switching: As soon as the test on Port A is completed, the system automatically opens Port B and starts the new test.
- Exhaust and New Cycle: While Port B is being tested, the operator removes the finished product from Port A and loads the next part.
True
Plug-and-Play
Thanks to the “Digital I/O Port” on the block, it communicates instantly with your BT4000 Series device. There is no need for external PLC programming or an additional control unit.
Zero-Leak
Valve Architecture
Features specially designed “NonLeak” valves that eliminate the risk of leakage in dual-line operation.
Flexible
Test Configuration
From the device screen, you can select only Port A, only Port B, or the sequential A-B cycle within seconds. If required, completely different test formulas can be run on each port for A/B testing.
Pre-Fill and Exhaust Block - Accelerated Stabilization
Flexible materials such as packaging and plastic tanks, or large-volume cast parts, tend to expand when filled with test air. This expansion delays the pressure inside the part from stabilizing, extending the test duration.
The Pre-Fill Block adds a non-standard “Pre-Fill” stage to the process, turning the laws of physics in your favor. The device first applies a pressure higher than the test pressure into the part, allowing the material to expand instantly. It then reduces the pressure to the actual test level, ensuring stabilization within seconds.
Shortened Test Time
Reduces the stabilization stage, which would normally take minutes, to seconds through the overpressure method.
Maximum Measurement Consistency
Since the product reaches its full expansion limit before the test, volumetric micro-changes during the actual test are eliminated. This enables much more precise leak measurements.
Energy and Cost Savings
Optimizes your factory’s energy consumption and reduces operating costs by allowing the system compressor to run for a shorter period.
Perfect
Your System
Do not lose the valuable seconds you gain on the automation side with our A&B and Pre-Fill blocks while physically connecting the test part. Complete these smart valve systems, which minimize your cycle time, with pneumatic Quick Connectors that provide 100% leak-tightness within seconds.
