Cincinnati Test Systems announced the Sentinel IX5, a new multifunctional leak test platform for pressure, flow, and vacuum leak testing. The Sentinel IX5 is the first instrument in the fifth generation of the Sentinel family and features an entirely new design; rebuilt from the ground up with a bold new look, all-new touchscreen and streamlined user experience, and many engineering enhancements that elevate leak test performance. 

Developed with the expertise of over 40 years of leak testing leadership, the new fifth generation of Sentinel instruments is built with strategic, powerful advancements, designed to make leak testing even more accurate, user-friendly, and efficient on the modern manufacturing line.

“The Sentinel line of leak test instruments has become well-known and respected in the manufacturing industry for delivering the accuracy and repeatability manufacturers rely on to produce the best quality parts. This new, innovative Sentinel re-design is the next step in that evolution, providing the most efficient and effective way to leak test,” said Eric Kersting, General Manager, CTS. “It’s important to us to stay on top of manufacturers’ needs on the modern production floor and continue to enhance our instruments to make their jobs easier.”  

The thoughtful engineering of the Sentinel IX5’s completely re-imagined design and user interface delivers new dimensions of leak test accuracy, flexibility, ease-of-use, and value. New features and capabilities include:

•    All-new UX/UI: Simple, re-engineered touchscreen user interface, with simplified accessible menus, customizable screen view options, real-time visualized data, and more.

•    Industry-first visual Test Sequence Creator: Easily tap, build, and visualize all steps in test sequences, preview and sequence a test before running it, and more.

•    Broadest range of leak test methods: Choose from 9 different test methods and combine multiple methods on one instrument.

•    Better, faster leak test performance: Improved resolution and accuracy for shorter cycle times, automatically adjust for changes in temperature and pressure, advanced pressure control, and more.

•    Unmatched value: Flexible instrument can be used for every common air leak test method; with its enhanced I/O control, the instrument can replace a PLC to control test operations, and more.

“The Sentinel IX5 was designed with manufacturers in mind, delivering a streamlined user experience with enhanced precision, performance, and flexibility,” said Thomas Beischel, Director of Standard Product, CTS. “We embarked on intensive research with our users to make this new design simple and intuitive to use. With the Sentinel IX5, it’s now easier than ever to setup, operate, and improve your leak tests.”
