Webtec unveiled the DHCR1500R test kit at the Intermat and SED exhibitions, a test solution designed for testing the very largest mobile machinery with a maximum theoretical power of over 1MW.
The test kit, designed in collaboration with a major US mobile machinery manufacturer, enables the operator to measure flow, pressure and temperature while simultaneously loading the system using the purpose built pressure loading valve. The HV1500 is designed to allow the operator to simulate the machine circuit under normal conditions by restricting the flow and, hence, increasing the pump's operating pressure.
Despite the large flows and pressures involved the valve can be operated with one hand and can be used to increase the load smoothly. The valve, like all Webtec HV series load valves, features a built-in burst disc safety mechanism to prevent over-pressurisation that could otherwise damage the test kit and circuit under test. Rated to a maximum of 1500 lpm and 420 bar with code 62 two inch fittings, the DHCR1500R test kit is available to order from May 2009.
Hydraulic data acquisition system
(3rd Generation
This turn-key system comprises: hydraulic sensors, data acquisition hardware, C2000 software and training.
Aimed primarily at hydraulic pump repair and rebuild companies, the C2000 is a complete instrumentation, display, logging, storage and reporting solution tailored to the needs of the client. The system interface runs on Microsoft Windows (TM) and allows the test stand operator to produce a test certificate at the touch of a button while ensuring full ISO9000 traceability on test.
The C2000 is a robust production solution that substantially simplifies the testing and certification process. The C2000 is designed to be networked, which allows a supervisor to access test files from a different computer for e-mailing to customers or printing additional reports. The solution is fully scaleable with up to 64 inputs and includes sensors to measure all hydraulic parameters such as flow, pressure, temperature, speed, contamination and torque.

The complete monitoring solution
Flow and temperature: Measure, display, switch, transmit.
Webtec has launched the latest hydraulic flow monitoring solution, called the FlowHUB, at the Hannover Fair 2009. Aimed at hydraulic system designers and maintenance engineers, the compact FlowHUB can replace up to six components in a hydraulic system. Applications are diverse and include condition monitoring, component testing and closed-loop machine control.
This brand new product can measure, display, switch and transmit flow readings in a fluid power or lubrication circuit as well as measure and display temperature. Three years of development has led to the FlowHUB using a unique sensing technology (Patent pending) designed to both minimise energy loss through pressure drop and ensure excellent resolution even for heavy-duty applications.
At launch, there will be 80 models of the FlowHUB covering 5 flow ranges up to 360 lpm and rated at either 210 or 420 bar. Each flow size will be available in three standard versions: ‘Switch’, ‘Transmitter’ and ‘Ultimate’ as well as the opportunity (volume permitting) to specify Custom / OEM versions which can be engineered to meet the requirements of special applications.
