When quality becomes a business strategy, technology must also rise to the occasion.
This vision led to the new impulse test bench up to 300 bar created by Hydro+Power for a major industrial hose manufacturer, with the aim of enhancing the Research & Development department and ensuring increasingly accurate tests.
The completely custom solution integrates a Hydraut KSPH servo pump, which represents the heart of the machine's fluidic innovation: a compact, efficient, and intelligent electro-hydraulic system, designed according to the principles of Industry 5.0.
One of the most distinctive aspects of the bench created by Hydro+Power is the double test chamber, which allows impulse tests and burst tests to be performed within a single machine. This versatility reduces testing times, optimizes space, and cuts operating costs, making the system ideal for those managing a high-intensity test laboratory.
This architecture represents a benchmark in terms of safety, precision, and visual control of the tests.
At the heart of the bench's operation is accurate plant design, centered on two key elements: a water/oil multiplier and a Hydraut KSPH servo pump unit.
Compared to traditional hydraulic circuits — based on piston pumps, accumulators, and proportional valves — the Hydraut servo pump introduces a completely new approach: it dynamically regulates pressure and flow, allowing for a drastic simplification of the circuit and a significant reduction in maintenance points.
The result is a more compact, quieter, and more reliable system, capable of guaranteeing repeatable and stable test cycles even in the presence of rapid pressure variations.
The Hydraut KSPH servo pump adopts a power on demand operating logic:
the brushless motor and the digital inverter modulate the rotation speed in real time based on the required pressure. When the bench does not require flow, the motor stops completely, bringing energy consumption to zero.
This solution guarantees:
Thanks to the plug & play pre-configuration and calibration carried out during the testing phase, the system arrived ready for use, simplifying installation and reducing commissioning times to a few weeks.
The solution also integrates new generation inverters that allow energy recovery logics, in line with the requirements of Industry 5.0 and the growing attention to reducing energy consumption: a high-performance, but also sustainable, test bench.
Alongside the mechanical and fluidic parts, Hydro+Power has developed dedicated management software that combines ease of use and computing power. The intuitive and customizable graphical interface allows you to:
In this way, the test bench fits perfectly into the paradigm of connected and intelligent industry, where hardware, software, and data analysis collaborate to improve performance.
The test bench developed by Hydro+Power demonstrates how collaboration with highly specialized partners and the use of systems such as the Hydraut KSPH servo pump can transform a test plant into a new generation technological platform: more efficient, quieter, more intelligent.
A concrete example of how the integration between mechanics, hydraulics, and electronics is redefining design standards in the industrial testing sector.
