ATEQ
ATEQ (Livonia, MI) introduced the Early Decision Tool (EDT), a software feature designed to improve leak test efficiency in manufacturing operations.
The EDT is built into select ATEQ leak testers, including the F620 and F670 models. It monitors real-time pressure data early in the test cycle to determine whether a part passes or fails before completing the full test.
Features:
- Analyzes pressure conditions at beginning of test cycle
- Determines pass/fail status before full test completes
- Includes multiple micro-test sequences (Pr1, Pr2, Pr3…)
- Rejects leaking parts early or approves good parts immediately
- Reduces total cycle time by up to 50%
- Improves production line efficiency without affecting detection sensitivity
- Records data from thousands of parts to establish performance benchmarks
- Uses conformity parameters to account for environmental variables such as temperature or airflow
The EDT is suitable for applications in:
- Automotive - fuel systems, EV battery trays, A/C modules
- Medical devices - catheters, fluid bags, filters
- Consumer electronics - smartwatches, speakers, drones
- Packaging - cosmetic closures, plastic bottles)
- E-Mobility - hydrogen tanks, fuel cells, bipolar plates
