Client: Multi-National Medical Diagnostic Device Manufacturer
Part: Medical vials
Machine supplied: Automatic high speed vial leak tester
Overview: This system was designed and manufactured in order to give the customer the ability to leak test plastic vials / containers within their production environment. TQC developed this system alongside the client to allow them to 100% leak test the sealed containers that contain diagnostic strips.

TQC have recently developed a high speed, indexing rotary table based, leak test machine for handling and testing medical vials at 70 per minute. The system incorporates leak test instruments, 10 banks of test modules and 2 display panels, these allow the plastic parts to be tested 10 at a time.
The machine is fully automatic and utilises step feeders for accepting bulk, random product from a stillage, these two feeders transfer parts to an infeed mechanism to orientate and feed the parts in a 5 x 2 matrix.
The indexing table has 4 positions, one for loading the parts, one for testing, one for unloading and a final empty station.
The unload system incorporates dedicated tooling to allow the parts to be placed into pass, gross leak fail or fine leak fail bins. A fail safe system is included to ensure that there is no cross contamination of pass and fail parts.
The system is PLC controlled and interfaces to a PC for data logging.
The unit incorporates:
- Elevating step feeder
- 4-position indexing table
- 10 Leak test instruments
- Dedicated unload of each part
- Nolek S9 technology
- 70 parts per minute
- PLC control with PC data logging
Nolek S9 Leak Test Instrument
The S9 has taken air leak test technology to the limit by combining the most sensitive pressure differential leak test valving with the most advanced front-end interface available.
The S9 has an architecture that enables up to five functional valve modules to be connected to a single front-end interface, allowing simultaneous testing of five volumes. Each module has an electronic pressure regulator for setting the test pressure automatically from the Instrument.
