VIC Leak Detection is proud to announce a major milestone in its innovation roadmap: the co-development of a cutting-edge sniffer robot in collaboration with ABB, a global leader in robotics and automation. This new solution combines VIC’s precision leak detection expertise with ABB’s advanced robotics to enhance accuracy, speed, and reliability in manufacturing testing.

This smart ABB “Cobot” robot is equipped with tracer gas sniffing technology (helium and hydrogen), enabling high-sensitivity leak detection in fully or semi-automated environments. The system is designed to move precisely along complex product geometries, ensuring thorough and repeatable inspections, even in hard-to-reach areas. This solution supports industries with strict leak-tightness standards such as automotive, EV, aerospace, and electronics.

This partnership reinforces VIC’s commitment to pushing the boundaries of leak detection innovation. By integrating robotics with intelligent sensors, manufacturers can reduce human error, optimize test cycles, and meet the most stringent quality and regulatory requirements. This breakthrough marks a new era in leak detection, where robotic sniffing enhances precision, repeatability, and efficiency across automated production lines.
