Hydraulic cylinder test units and the graph box
Automatic Cylinder Test Unit-ACTU
The ACTU (Automatic Cylinder Test Unit) is a fully automated, PLC-controlled hydraulic cylinder testing system designed to perform complete test sequences with real-time monitoring and graphing.
With a pressure rating of up to 5,000 psi, a 20 HP power unit, and a 100-gallon reservoir, the ACTU delivers fast, accurate, and repeatable testing for a wide range of hydraulic cylinders.
ACTU Overview
ACTU consists of two main components: a control panel mounted on wheeled stand, and a power unit equipped with connection ports and gauges for cylinder hookup. The power unit is connected to the PLC via a communication cable for system control and monitoring.
An optional double chain vise stand is available upon request.
