The WEH® TW18P is designed for automated vacuum, pressure, and function testing during production, offering safe and pressure-tight connections to male threads in seconds—without hand tightening or additional sealants. With a pressure range of vacuum up to 350 bar, it is ideal for integration into automated control systems in high-volume manufacturing environments.
Key Features:
Pneumatic actuation (P) via external valve for use in fully automated, semi-automatic, or external manual systems
Leak-tight connection without tools or thread sealants
Time and cost savings on frequent testing cycles
Clamping strength increases with pressure for added operator safety
High-quality materials for long service life and reliability
Ideal for automated production lines, robotics, and test benches
