Control systems for test rigs and quality-control equipment
A test is only useful if it is repeatable and recorded. We automate test rigs so that each test follows the same sequence and produces a report without manual writing.
What a test rig needs from its controls
We delivered a Wecon PLC and HMI control system for a pipe testing machine that records make and break values, in ft·lb and psi, and generates test reports automatically.
Repeatable tests
The same test sequence and limits every time, so results from different shifts and operators can be compared.
Clear readings
Live values and bar graphs on the HMI, so the operator can follow each reading while the test runs.
Automatic reports
Results saved with every test for quality control and traceability, without writing them down by hand.
Documentation
Records that your customers and inspectors can review, in the format agreed for the project.
Test machines we automate
- Pipe and connection testing machines
- Pressure test benches
- Torque and pressure measurement
- End-of-line quality-control stations

Frequently asked questions
Can the test results be exported?
Results can be stored on the HMI and exported in the format agreed for the project, for example as a file for your quality records.
Do you build the mechanical test rig?
No. We supply the control system, instrument integration, HMI and reports. The mechanical rig comes from you or a machine builder.
What do you need to quote a test rig?
The test sequence, the values you measure with their ranges and units, the sensors on the rig, and the report you need after each test. Photos of the rig and of any existing panel help us reply faster.
