Description
A leak tester is only as effective as the fixture holding the part. Figurtech designs and manufactures custom leak test fixtures — from simple manual clamps to fully automated multi-station pneumatic nests — that deliver repeatable, production-grade test connections cycle after cycle.
What We Design
Every fixture is engineered from your part geometry, test pressure, cycle time, and production volume. We work directly with your engineering team to define the sealing approach, tooling material, connector selection, and automation interface. Fixtures ship pre-validated against your tester and leak specification.
Fixture Types
| Type | Description | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Manual clamp fixture | Operator-loaded, lever or toggle clamp actuation | Low-to-mid volume, multiple part variants, lab and incoming QC |
| Pneumatic fixture | Cylinder-actuated clamping, foot-pedal or PLC trigger | Mid-to-high volume production lines, consistent clamping force |
| Multi-station nest (2–4 cavities) | Multiple parts per cycle, matched to LM series multi-channel testers | High-throughput lines, switch buttons, lens modules, meters |
| Fully automated fixture | Robot-loaded, integrated with conveyor or rotary table, PLC-controlled | Unmanned lines, LE module integration, automotive assembly cells |
Design and Engineering Details
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Compatible testers | All Figurtech series: LY, LD, LF, LG, LM, LE |
| Seal life | ≥ 500,000 cycles (standard sealing components) |
| Sealing approach | Face seal, OD clamp, ID expand — selected per part geometry |
| Materials | Aluminum alloy, stainless steel, engineered polymer — per environment and pressure |
| Automation interface | PLC I/O, pneumatic solenoid, robot flange mount available |
| Lead time | Typically 2–4 weeks from approved drawing |
Typical Applications
- EV battery tray and liquid-cooling plate fixtures with multiple port connections
- 4-cavity switch button nests for LM series multi-channel testing
- Medical catheter and soft tubing fixtures with zero-axial-force ID connectors
- Automotive sensor and housing fixtures integrated into assembly line conveyor stops
- Consumer electronics IP67/IP68 housing fixtures for inline waterproof testing
Why Custom Rather Than Standard?
- Part-specific sealing: Every part has a unique port geometry — a custom fixture seals exactly where yours requires
- Repeatable clamping force: Pneumatic actuation eliminates operator variation in sealing pressure
- 500k-cycle durability: Production-grade sealing components validated for the volumes your line demands
- Pre-validated delivery: Fixtures arrive confirmed against your tester and leak specification — no field debugging
