Application

The model CPC8000-H precision hydraulic high-pressure controller is especially suited as a factory/working standard for the automatic testing or calibration of all types of high-pressure measuring instruments, due to its high accuracy and control stability. However, autofrettage applications or cyclic pressure-load tests are also ideal application areas, thanks to its robustness and reliability.

For the supply to the controller, other than the voltage supply, only clean dry compressed air for the pneumatic control circuit is needed. As a pressure medium on the output side, hydraulic oil or water (or other media on request) can be used.

Design

The CPC8000-H consists of two components, the model CPC8000-HC pressure controller and the model CPC8000-HM hydraulic module with the reference pressure sensors. The hydraulic module is available in two versions, as low pressure version with a pressure range of 5 ... 700 bar (75 ... 10,000 psi) bar and high pressure version with a pressure range of 20 ... 1,600 bar (290 ... 23,000 psi) with each suitable reference pressure sensors.

The complete system is available as a 19" plug-in case or built into a 19" rack. The sensors can be changed via the front of the hydraulic module, without having to dismantle the complete controller (e.g. out of a calibration rig).

Functionality

Through its specialist technology, the desired pressure value from the controller is regulated quickly and simply. Maximum ease-of-use is achieved through the large touchscreen and the simple and intuitive menu navigation. In addition, its easy operability is further supported by the availability of a large number of menu languages.

On the large touchscreen, all necessary information such as current measured value and set point can be found on a single screen. Optionally, the measured values can be displayed in other pressure units additionally. The pressure controller can be remotely controlled via serial interfaces available. Through these, a wide range of emulation command sets for other pressure controllers are available.

Interface

For communication and data transfer with a PC, the instrument has an IEEE-488.2, RS-232, USB and Ethernet interface. The digital interfaces enable the software-controlled operation of the controller - such as fully-automated calibration processes or the running of specific test programs generated from LabVIEW® etc..

Complete test and calibration systems

On request, complete mobile or stationary test systems can be manufactured.
