Axiline Valve Body Tester

Quick setup. Easy to operate. Precise control.*

With today's modern electronically controlled valve bodies, it is important to ensure that the hydraulics and electronics operate within the designed parameters before mounting the unit on the transmission.

The Axiline Valve Body Tester (VBT) simulates the toughest driving conditions while testing electronic, hydraulic, and vacuum systems. The VBT tests valve bodies, solenoids, and pressure transducers using the same regulated pressure and heated oil the valve body would use when run in the vehicle. The VBT can pressurize the heated oil up to 1000 psi (6,895 kPa).

The VBT is designed to satisfy the test requirements of small transmission rebuilders all the way through high-volume OEM contractors.

The VBT works with Transmission Data Acquisition and Control (TDAC), Axiline Electronic Shifter (AES) or SuperShifter shift controllers to fully exercise the valve body. The VBT features 11 separate gauges (and 4 optional gauges) for each individual measured pressure circuit on the valve body, bands and clutch packs, and so on. This accelerates test procedures by eliminating "shared" gauges and the time it takes to switch from circuit to circuit. The Valve Body Tester exposes performance degradation caused by small cracks, imperfections, and excessive valve wear. An integrated unit body tester pressurizes and checks oil flow through the clutch packs on the assembled transmission (less the valve body) with optional adapters.

When testing is complete, the shift controller can record the test results for further analysis and as a record for your internal documentation.
