Leak Testing Systems from LACO Technologies

Standard & Custom Designs
LACO Technologies provides standard and custom solutions for production leak testing applications. Leak test systems can be configured in either bench-top instruments, automated workstations or fully integrated production systems. All leak test systems are designed considering cost, throughput requirements, test method, degree of automation and machine flexibility so you get the right system for your application.

Leak Testing Methods
LACO offers leak testing systems which can utilize several different leak testing methods. Leak test methods include:

Helium Vacuum
An automated method where the test part or test fixture is evacuated to full vacuum while helium is introduced to the opposite barrier of the part.
Helium Sniffing
A manual method of sniffing a pressurized part to detect helium escaping a leak.
Helium Accumulation
An automated method of capturing and accumulating helium in an enclosure surrounding a part pressurized with helium.
Helium HATS^TM
A patented (U.S. Pat. No. 7,905,132) automated method of capturing and accumulating helium in an enclosure (evacuated to partial vacuum) surrounding a part pressurized with helium.
Air Testing
A variety of automated test methods using air as the test media for detecting leaks by pressure decay or mass flow.
Multi-Gas Vacuum
An automated method using a tunable mass spectrometer where the part or test fixture is evacuated to full vacuum while the desired non-helium tracer gas is introduced to the opposite barrier of the part.
Multi-Gas Sniffing
A manual method of sniffing a pressurized part using a variety of instruments specifically designed for non-helium tracer gases such as refrigerants, hydrogen and SF6.

Applications
With no part too small or too large, our leak testing systems are built for a variety of applications including:

Automotive components
Refrigeration equipment
Medical devices
Electrical devices and packages
