Inficon presents devices for robotic sniffer leak detection
Inficon is presenting a new product for automated sniffer leak detection at Control. The "XL sniffer adapter" ensures that the LDS3000 leak detection and leak testing device can be used even more easily in automated robot systems. A robot arm guides the measuring probe dynamically over the test parts. The sniffer adapter generates a gas flow of 3000 sccm. A high gas flow is the only way to detect even small leak rates of 1 x 10-4 mbar ∙ l/s, for example, when scanning a component based on the escaping test gas. At the trade fair, the company will be demonstrating dynamic robot leak detection using a housing as the test part.
Higher process speed
Inficon has designed the modular leak tester especially for use in industrial production.
industrial production. The test gases used are either helium or the cost-effective forming gas, a non-flammable mixture of 5 percent hydrogen and 95 percent nitrogen. The Protec P3000XL leak detector also draws in escaping tracer gas at 3000 sccm and can therefore also be used for robot sniffing. However, the combination of LDS3000 and XL sniffer adapter allows higher process speeds, as the LDS3000 uses different, optimized signal processing algorithms.
signal processing algorithms.
High gas flow enables dynamic robot leak detection
It is the principle of sniffer leak detection - whether by robot or manually - that the
measuring tip draws in air (and tracer gas) at a certain flow rate. The common
unit for this gas flow is sccm (standard cubic centimeters per minute). Many
conventional sniffer leak detectors draw in gas with a particle flow of
only 60 sccm. With careful manual handling of the
sniffer tip at only a few test points and with slow movement at a short distance from the
distance from the surface, this can sometimes be sufficient. But especially the
dynamic robotic sniffer leak detection places much higher demands. Only
devices with a very high gas flow are capable of reliably detecting the escaping tracer gas. They do this even if the robot arm moves the measuring probe over the test part at speeds of 10 cm/s and more. am
