Technical description

The adjustment bench is used to adjust the mixing valve and check its correct operation

Main functions

The thermostatic mixing valve/cartridge adjustment and test bench carries out the testing and adjustment, in production, of thermostatic mixing valves/cartridges (tightness, flow rate, anti-scalding).

The manual adjustment and control bench for thermostatic mixing valves/cartridges allows :

  • air and/or water tightness test
  • adjustment of the temperature and flow rate of the mixed water
  • measurement of the mixed water temperature in hot conditions
  • measurement of flow rate
  • antiscald and hysteresis measurement

Operating mode

Programmable test cycle :

  • Installation of the mixer/cartridge with clamping without screwing
  • Air and water tightness test
  • Mixed temperature setting
  • Flow rate measurement
  • Anti-scalding test (safety test) and hysteresis measurement
  • Marking of the set position (optional)
  • Draining and blowing out the mixer

 

Control :

The system is computer controlled. The software allows :

  • editing and selection of test programs
  • the visualization of the measurements
  • edition of an automatic control report on the production batch.

In production mode, the operator controls the bench directly with the buttons on the front panel of the test bench.

 

Test boards:

The mixers or cartridges are fixed on a test board. The bench can be fitted with several different plates, each adapted to a different shape of tap. The plates are equipped with a quick connection system which allows the plate to be changed in a few seconds.
