Custom Solution | Pre-Leak Test Evacuation System

SKU:

X-1P30490

Global supplier of automotive safety components required a solution to improve performance of their leak testing systems.

LACO developed a custom evacuation process and associated system to pre-evacuate the parts prior to leak testing to remove trapped gas and other volatile residues impacting the leak testing process.
