October 5, 2009 - Responding to the requirements of U.S. and worldwide automakers to speed time-to-market for hybrid vehicle designs, InterTech Development Company announces an expansion of its Chicago-Detroit Applications Engineering Team that designs high gauge R&R turnkey leak test solutions.
Applying best-match leak test technology as required - pressure leak testing, differential pressure decay leak testing, mass flow leak testing in either downstream or upstream leak test configurations, and helium leak testing for the most demanding applications—InterTech Development Company’s Applications Engineering Department combines custom leak test sensors with a growing knowledgebase of fixture design requirements for hybrid vehicle components.InterTech Development Company’s leak test solutions are reported to cut leak test cycle times by as much as 70%.
Jacques Hoffmann, President of InterTech Development Company comments, “Given the costs of helium leak testing there has especially been a recent interest in InterTech’s custom mass flow sensors and other patented technology that enables us to get accurate leak test results in applications that would otherwise be done with prohibitively expensive and cumbersome helium mass spectrometers. We work with automotive manufacturers worldwide—both for hybrid vehicles and traditional automobiles, among many others with demanding leak test applications. Our sole focus on developing test technology for more than four decades helps us keep our customers competitive and ensures that their globally-distributed manufacturing processes up to top quality standards.”
InterTech Development Company is a world leader in test-centric assembly and test specializing in automated leak and functional testing with 7 patented mass flow and hydraulic technologies, as well as, helium mass spectrometry (ISO-17025 International Standards for Quality Management). InterTech Development Company-engineered solutions are used by hundreds of manufacturers worldwide. InterTech Development Company’s worldwide support organization maintains offices in North America, Asia, and Europe.
