Vector: The ultimate in testing performance, speed, flexibility and durability
The fastest and most powerful testers on the market, the Vector family of testers raises performance to new levels of efficiency and productivity. Their unrivalled speeds enable you to conduct leak and flow tests faster, increasing production like never before.
Because accuracy and repeatability are critical
Count on Vector testers to deliver the utmost in accuracy and repeatability while eliminating false rejects and keeping defective products from reaching the market. Vector software runs in a Windows® environment making it extremely powerful yet very simple to use.
Available in multiple formats
Vector testers are available in bench top, 3U and 6U formats, all featuring Uson engineered pneumatic circuits optimized for specific testing applications. The Vector’s modular design lets you expand your system’s capabilities as needed.
