Main functions
The thermostatic cartridges adjustment and test bench allows to test the behavior of a thermostatic cartridge (sealing, flow, antiscald) and to adjust the temperature control of the cartridge manually or automatically.
The manual thermostatic cartridges adjustment and control bench allows :
- an air and/or water sealing test
- the setting of mixed water temperature and flow rate
- the measurement of the mixed water temperature in full hot position
- the sealing measurement
- measurement of antiscald and hysteresis
Operating mode

- Installation of the cartridge
- Air and water sealing test
- Mixed temperature setting
- Flow measurement
- Antiscald (safety test) and hysteresis measurement
- Marking of the set position (optional)
- Emptying and blowing the cartridge
Characteristics of the device
- 1 stainless steel frame
- Hydraulic assembly consisting of :
- 2 pumps (HW and CW)
- 3 pressure sensors
- 1 mass flowmeter
- 5 temperature sensors (HW and CW)
- 1 electrical cabinet
- 1 PC and 1 touch screen
Benefits
- Speed and repeatability of tests and adjustments
- Automatic clamping and unclamping of the cartridges in complete safety
- Archiving of all production controls
- Traceability
Bench developed to meet these standards:
EN-1112
Temperature and flow control
The pumps bring the water to the desired pressure and the machine automatically adjusts the mixed temperature.
Numerous tests carried out
Leak test, flow rate, antiscald and hysteresis, mixed temperature in hot conditions, pressure variation, etc.
Marking system
Automatic milling marking system
Endurance Automatic Temperature Control and Test Bench for Thermostatic Cartridges
Production bench used to adjust and control thermostatic cartridges. This bench allows to : – Check the presence of seals by a leak test. – Control the hot and cold water pressures. – Check that the water supply temperatures are within the range defined by the user. – Check the flow rate setting. – Carry out a mixed temperature test in the full hot position (C3 / ECAU standard). – Operate the cartridge over its full operating range and check the operating torque. – Automatically set the mixed water temperature to 38°C. – Perform antiscald and hyteresis test. – Carry out a milling of the cartridge to locate the 38°C – Dry the cartridges by blowing air.
Advantages of ThermControl-Auto
Reproductibility test
Fast and repeatable testing and adjustment
Automatic cartridge clamping
Automatically and safely clamps and unclamps cartridges.
Automatic reports
Archiving of all production checks with automatic test reports.
Tool detection
Automatic detection of the tooling according to the cartridge and the chosen test.
OPTIONS
Automatic marking of a rotating marker
Automatic marking enables a mark to be machined on the temperature control and the body of the cartridge. This mark is associated with a specific adjustable temperature setting (usually 38°C) to enable the cartridge to be correctly positioned in the valve during assembly.
Water distributor for hot and cold circuits for energy savings and closed circuit
When the water supply circuit to a bench is a closed circuit, the Splitter returns the mixed water mixed by the tap to the hot water circuit on the one hand, and the cold water circuit on the other, in proportion to temperature. Thanks to this system, the heating and cooling capacities of the hot and cold water generators can be significantly reduced.
