Hedley Hydraulics design and manufacture hydraulic test rigs and hydraulic test equipment (including flushing rigs) for a whole range of different industries and applications, including ATEX rated.
If you need to do some industrial component testing, you will need a specific bespoke test rig. We can accommodate several different technologies to create the test rig using hydraulic, pneumatic or electro-mechanical (servo control).
Also known in our trade as a testing station, test bench, test bay or pressure test facility, what is certain is that hydraulic test rigs are invariably for a specific purpose and ‘one size’ doesn’t fit all.
That is where our dedicated team is available to understand the needs of your test rig and create a design that fully meets and your requirements.
We design and manufacture bespoke test rigs for a range of industries;
Examples of Test Rig applications are:
Burst testing
Pressure testing
Fatigue testing
Cyclical testing
Performance testing
Product certification
Fluid cleanliness testing
Flushing
Tests often include functional performance of products after the initial build process, the test rig being the first pass of fluid through the unit, where 100% checks are carried out to ensure product suitability.
Test rigs can be used for product testing in relation to durability and fatigue testing, this will require a rigorous selection of products to drive the machine to ensure that the rig will stand up to the longevity of the test process. In addition, test rigs we have supplied in the past are used to perform predictive modelling techniques.
Hedley design engineers have the experience and knowledge to be able to provide you with a test rig that will function as you expect, we work closely to ensure that your needs and requirements are met. We can provide you with a complete PLC controlled unit, recording and data logging all parameters that you set, via HMI for easy downloading allowing records to be provided as often as required.
