TEST RIGS
The function of this machine was to test the build quality of 2 ducts by means of a leak test. The ducts were loaded into the machine separately and air blown into one end to a certain pressure, so that any fall in pressure could be measured and therefore any leaks detected. Each part was located on CNC formed blocks and clamped in place before the sealing bungs were slid into a locked position. After the part had passed the leak test, a marker engraved the date into the part as a visual indication that it had been tested. Our customer supplied us with the design for the ducts but all other design work was carried out by Dalton Farrow.
