Why is leak detection so important in vehicles? Due to the complex operation of new multi-speed transmissions, transmission-fluid leaks can significantly affect performance.
Detecting leaks at the earliest stages of manufacture, post-casting and pre-assembly, improves quality and customer satisfaction while reducing costs.
KUKA Assembly and Test Corporation, for example, has developed leak-detection systems that are faster and more reliable than more traditional air-test methods. KUKA systems now use INFICON helium-leak detectors to test advanced transmissions such as newer aluminium automatic 9- and 10-speed transmissions.
