Astra Dash
The Next Frontier in Leak Testing
The Next Frontier in Leak Testing
The world’s first modular multichannel leak tester with pneumatically isolated, asynchronous channels.
For manufacturers seeking scalable quality testing, Astra Dash is a leak and flow tester designed for easy implementation of the right test protocols. Its modular, pneumatically independent design, combined with the industry’s most powerful and user-friendly interface, makes it the most flexible, scalable, reliable, and accessible tester of its generation.


The channel boxes appear on the touchscreen display as independent entities that are fully configurable with display widgets much like a modern tablet device. Useful for displaying part images, sequence lists, pressure readings, user inputs and more. Putting just the right information for the user on display. The Astra Dash also comes equipped with an unmatched array of discrete digital I/O and a powerful embedded control software to integrate with virtually any automation need, to greatly reduce the dependance on an external PLC layer.
Build your system, your way. Each Astra Dash Control Nexus can have up to four channel boxes installed at once with an unlimited number available for interchangeability. Built on Single-Minute Exchange of Die (SMED) methodology, users will no longer be limited by the downtime needed to ship a leak tester in for repair or calibration. Each channel box can be removed and shipped as needed for repair, while a backup channel box sitting ready on the shelf can be pulled, installed and ready to run samples in minutes.
Designed to provide clear and non-subjective results, the Uson 628 is a differential pressure decay leak tester that rivals the performance of more complex and expensive instruments. By offering five different pressure ranges, ranging from vacuum up to an impressive 15 bar, it covers a wide range of applications, from medical check valves to automotive radiators and beyond. With its highly sensitive and budget-friendly design, this tester is your ultimate ally in reducing product deviations and recall issues through the early identification of leaks.
But that’s not all – the Uson 628 is packed with features that truly set it apart from the competition. With the ability to create and save up to 30 test programs, you can easily recall your preferred settings for fast and efficient testing. The electronic regulator option goes even further, allowing you to test at multiple pressures with the pre-fill option as standard.
The 628 tester is capable of running multiple tests, including differential pressure and vacuum decay, ensuring comprehensive and accurate results every time. Equipped with a 24-bit high resolution for precise measurements, as well as industry-proven proprietary sensors and valves, this tester provides reliable operation that you can trust.
Uson’s 628 differential pressure decay leak tester is a compact, reliable, and accurate instrument that is ideal as a budget-friendly benchtop option for a wide range of industries. The 628 leak tester incorporates an intelligently designed multi-language user interface, with the capability to collect and transmit a vast amount of data, for offline trend analysis and a deep level of insight.
The 628 is a highly flexible leak tester, offering users the ability to choose from five pressure ranges – from vacuum up to 225 psi (15 bar) to cover a wide range of applications, making it useful for a wide range of industries and applications. Internal memory allows users to create and save up to 30 test programs, for fast recall of test parameters.
For applications that need to test multiple test pressures, the 628 offers an optional electronic regulator. With the electronic regulator option, the 628 can be programmed to test a part at different test pressures in a sequence. Additionally, the test programs can be linked, serving to further the automation of the test sequence. Another benefit with the electronic regulator is that it adds an increased level of security. It is only accessible through the programming interface and can be locked and safeguarded to prevent unintended changes. This is a significant advantage over a manual regulator, which can be adjusted from the back of the instrument.
The 628 leak tester was designed to be easy to use in a busy environment. A backlit user interface makes accessing information easy, while bright uniquely designed lights on the front panel allow for at-a-glance monitoring from across a room. The menu system is intuitively structured to make setup and operation practically effortless.
The 628 leak tester is a surprisingly powerful instrument, packaged in a simple design. Incorporating the differential pressure decay method to provide highly accurate and reliable results, the 628 can run test cycles to display leak rates in a range of pressure units or volumetric units using the leak rate calibration option. The 628 incorporates Uson’s industry-proven proprietary sensor and valves, to deliver the type of results that are expected from more sophisticated instruments.
The 628 leak tester ensures a high level of control over the instrument. With a convenient USB port, firmware updates, data transfers, and program backups are easy. Program security and data access are controlled by a password, while couple safety valves control the position of the machine in the event of a power failure.
Navigating the Uson 628 is a breeze thanks to its backlit user interface. Accessing specific information and viewing results has never been easier. And with its intelligently designed menu system, setup is quick and hassle-free, even for new users. Plus, for your convenience, the Uson 628 offers factory-programmed language options, including Chinese and Spanish.
With a durable, splash-proof and dust-proof enclosure, the 628 leak tester is designed for quality in manufacturing laboratory environments. It features a reliable, solid-state hard drive for high-speed data transfer, and accommodates single-range 0-20 mbar calibration for accurate results. Plus, the 628 features an advanced, upgrade friendly design that makes service and maintenance easy.
