Our client requested the development of a test bench complying with the safety regulations in force, that would allow the testing of all the cylinders of their own production (of whatever type they are), according to both their own technical specifications and eventually those of the final customers (users). Hydroservice, having gathered the customer's needs, designed, built, installed and certified the test bench in question.
We oversee every project from start to finish—from defining requirements to commissioning—developing tailored solutions that combine efficiency, reliability, and energy savings.
The mechanical part has been designed in such a way as to obtain a robust, safe, reliable and easily maintainable machine on the part of the client's operators.
The hydraulic part, also thanks to Bosch Rexroth products, has been designed to allow the testing of a wide range of hydraulic cylinders. The client can test both small and large cylinders up to a maximum pressure of 620 bar.
A special focus was made on the cleanliness of the oil, which is very important to ensure the quality and reliability of the client's product. Each circuit is equipped with double filters (one on stand-by) complete with optical/electrical clogging indicators.
The software system has been developed in order to have a clear and intuitive user interface for the operator. The control software, unlike a purely manual bench, has been developed in such a way that the operator cannot generate dangerous situations. The proportional control of the pressure, flow rate and correct functioning of the components is automatically managed by the software in accordance with current safety standards.
In general, the client was very satisfied with the product supplied by Hydroservice, since the new test bench has significantly expanded the range of test methods that can be performed, also meeting the increasingly stringent requirements of some clients.
At the same time, all procedures are now much simpler, faster, safer and qualitatively improved.
Furthermore, a large "plus" has come from the possibility to record/archive the parameters of each test that is performed (the traceability of test data is a gap that the client has filled with the integration of the new bench).
