AUTOMATED ROBOTIC LEAK TESTING

ATEQ’s robotic sniffing solution operates by combining highly sensitive leak detection sensors with precise robotic movement. The system guides a sniffing probe along pre-programmed paths around critical areas of a component or assembly, detecting and quantifying leaks with exceptional accuracy. This automated process ensures consistent coverage, eliminates human error, and provides real-time feedback, making it ideal for high-volume production environments demanding reliable and repeatable leak testing.

Advantages Using Robotic Sniffing Solution

1. Accuracy – Robotic sniffing leak testing delivers superior accuracy by eliminating human error and precisely pinpointing leaks, even in complex parts. In contrast, manual testing is less precise and more prone to variability.

2. Repeatability – With its advanced automation, robotic sniffing leak testing guarantees consistent, repeatable results across multiple tests, eliminating variations. Manual testing, influenced by human factors, is less reliable for repetitive tasks.

3. Downtime – Automated leak testing reduces downtime with consistent, efficient operation, unlike manual testing, which faces delays from setup time and human error.

4. Traceability – Automated leak testing enhances traceability with detailed reports for every test, unlike manual testing, which relies on error-prone human documentation.

5. Cost – Automated leak testing lowers mid-term costs with reduced labor, higher efficiency, and fewer errors. Manual testing may seem cheaper initially but leads to higher costs from slower processes and inconsistent results.
