(Sciemetric: Ottawa) -- Sciemetric Instruments, a pioneer of technologies used by many global manufacturers to increase yield, improve quality, and optimize manufacturing processes, has unveiled a new leak-test system with an unmatched combination of accuracy, speed, and affordability.

Leak testing is one of the most common, and most frustrating, assembly line tests for many manufacturers. From inkjet printer cartridges to large diesel engines, leak testing is a crucial quality assurance process to catch product defects before they lead to costly recalls.

But on busy assembly lines, seconds matter. Current leak-testing systems take precious time and are usually a significant production bottleneck. Accuracy is often compromised by poor pressure regulation and control, as well as fluctuations in atmospheric pressure and temperature. Test system reliability can be thrown off by something as minor as an A/C unit coming on. Nor is the testing data presented in a visual manner that supports rapid decision-making and process improvement.

All that has changed with Sciemetric’s new 3520 Series leak testers.
