1. Leak Test Machines
A leak test machine is used to determine whether a component or assembly meets a specified leakage or pressure-retention requirement. Depending on the product and application, the test may use air, nitrogen, water, or vacuum. The system can be manual, semi-automatic, or fully automated.
TFSPL provides customized Air Leak test machines, Hydro Leak test machines, and Vacuum Leak test machines. The testing method, instrumentation, control system, and machine configuration are selected according to the product, test pressure, allowable leakage, test time, production requirement, and application.
An air leak test machine uses compressed air or another suitable test gas to pressurize a product and determine whether leakage is within the specified limit. Depending on the application, pressure decay, differential pressure, flow measurement, or other suitable leak detection methods can be used.
Pressure decay is a leak testing method in which a test component is pressurized to a specified pressure and isolated from the air supply. The pressure is then monitored for a defined period. A reduction in pressure indicates leakage, with the allowable pressure change determined by the product specification and test conditions.
Vacuum leak testing involves creating a vacuum inside or around the test component and monitoring the vacuum condition. A change in vacuum level over the specified test period can indicate leakage. Vacuum testing is useful for products and applications where pressure testing is not suitable or where the component operates under vacuum.
Hydro leak testing uses water or another suitable liquid as the test medium to check a component for leakage and, depending on the system design, pressure integrity. Hydro testing is commonly used for components such as tanks, pipes, valves, pressure-containing parts, and other products where liquid-pressure testing is appropriate.
Leak testing can be applied to a wide range of products, including gearboxes, pumps, valves, automotive components, agricultural equipment, medical devices, mechanical components, tanks, fittings, manifolds, and other pressure- or vacuum-containing products. The test method is selected according to the product and leakage specification.
Important information includes product type, product volume, test pressure or vacuum, allowable leakage, test medium, test time, test method, production quantity, product connection, and required automation level. Product drawings and details of the sealing arrangement are also useful for developing the test fixture and pneumatic circuit.
Yes. Leak test machines can be developed with PLC and HMI controls, automatic filling and stabilization, testing and venting sequences, ACCEPT/REJECT indication, recipe management, data logging, and production-line integration, depending on the application. Automation level can be customized according to production volume and customer requirements.

3. Pneumatic Systems & Panels
A pneumatic system uses compressed air to generate and control mechanical movement. Compressed air passes through air-treatment equipment and control valves before being supplied to pneumatic cylinders, rotary actuators, or other devices. These components convert the energy of compressed air into controlled mechanical movement.
TFSPL provides customized pneumatic solutions including pneumatic control systems, pneumatic panels, pneumatic presses, actuator and valve systems, compressed-air systems, and application-specific pneumatic automation. System selection is based on factors such as force, pressure, speed, cycle time, and machine requirements.
Cylinder selection depends on the required force, operating pressure, stroke length, speed, load, mounting arrangement, cycle time, and available space. The cylinder bore is selected according to the required force and operating pressure, while the rod size and mounting arrangement should be considered based on the load and application.
A pneumatic press uses compressed air to generate linear pressing force. It can be used for applications such as pressing, punching, riveting, crimping, marking, assembly, and component insertion. Pneumatic presses are commonly selected where fast repetitive operation and relatively simple force generation are required.
A compressed-air piping system distributes air from the compressor and air-treatment equipment to different machines and points of use. Properly designed piping helps maintain suitable pressure and airflow while minimizing pressure drop and leakage. TFSPL can provide compressed-air piping solutions based on plant layout and application requirements.
Compressed-air consumption can be reduced through leak detection and repair, proper pressure regulation, correctly sized components, efficient piping design, suitable tubing and fittings, and elimination of unnecessary air usage. Regular inspection of the compressed-air network can also help identify leakage and abnormal consumption.
4. Hydraulic Systems
A hydraulic system uses pressurized hydraulic fluid to generate and transmit force and motion. A hydraulic pump supplies fluid under pressure, while valves control its direction, pressure, and flow. Hydraulic cylinders or motors then convert hydraulic energy into linear or rotary mechanical movement.
TFSPL provides customized hydraulic solutions including hydraulic power packs, hydraulic control panels, special hydraulic cylinders, and application-specific hydraulic systems. The system can be designed according to required pressure, flow, force, speed, duty cycle, and machine configuration.
A hydraulic power pack is a complete unit used to generate and control hydraulic power. It generally consists of a hydraulic pump, electric motor, reservoir, valves, filters, pressure-control components, and associated instrumentation. The configuration is selected according to the requirements of the hydraulic application.
Hydraulic power-pack selection depends primarily on required pressure, flow rate, cylinder or motor requirements, operating cycle, reservoir capacity, motor power, control requirements, and duty cycle. Correct sizing is important for achieving the required hydraulic force and speed while maintaining reliable operation.
Yes. Hydraulic cylinders and control systems can be customized according to bore, stroke, operating pressure, load, mounting arrangement, available space, speed, and operating conditions. Hydraulic control panels can also be configured with suitable valves, instrumentation, and automation interfaces according to the machine requirement.
5. Special Purpose Machine
