Successful weld testing relies heavily on the right hydraulic system. Recently, a leading manufacturer of welding engineering equipment asked us to deliver a compact, high-performance hydraulic system for a testing replacement project. The client needed a dependable solution that could integrate smoothly into their existing setup while maintaining the precise force and control required for their testing processes. 

Following collaboration between our engineering team and the client, we determined that combining the ZPE-35RH-1M-1 and ZHP-25A would provide the exact capabilities needed for this replacement project.

 

Challenges

Inconsistencies and system drifting in the old hydraulic setup created significant operational challenges for the client. The fluctuating hydraulic pressure directly impacted production speeds, causing noticeable delays. Additionally, the system drift led to inaccurate weld qualification test results, resulting in costly retesting, wasted materials, and extra labor hours.

 

Key requirements for hydraulic pump:
✓

Consistent 10,000 PSI

✓

 Stable pressure during long test cycles

✓

Clean integration across multiple platforms

✓

Reliable daily industrial operation

✓

Minimal maintenance and zero drift

✓

Support for both large test systems and compact fixtures

 

Evaluations

ZPE-35RH-1M-1 Electric Pump

Chosen for primary tensile and bend test systems due to:

  • Smooth, stable pressure delivery
