Key Features of Brake Valve Test

  • High-Performance Hydraulic & Pneumatic Subsystems

    Dual-zone control manifolds achieve hydraulic test pressures up to 1,060 kg/cm² with ±0.5% regulation accuracy. Pneumatic testing reaches 10 kg/cm² with low dew-point air to safeguard valve integrity.
  • PLC-Driven Automation

    Integrated PLC with 15” HMI touch panel enables programmable, repeatable sequences, safety interlocks, and automatic pass/fail reports.
  • Real-Time Monitoring & Data Logging

    High-speed data acquisition (≥ 1 kHz sampling) records hydraulic and pneumatic pressure trends for every test cycle with export capability.
  • Advanced Safety Mechanisms

    Safety interlocks, automatic pressure release, and emergency stop ensure safe high-pressure testing for both operators and equipment.
  • Rugged, Aviation-Grade Design

    Industrial-grade steel frame, vibration isolation, and sound-treated enclosure maintain < 80 dB(A) noise level for comfortable test environments.
