Dear customer,

You have just bought an
Adixen leak detector.
We would like to thank you
and we are proud to count
you among our customers.
This

product is a result of
the experience acquired
over 35 years by Alcatel
Vacuum

Technology France
in vacuum and leak
detection technology.

The applications of helium
leak testing are extremely
diversified ranging from
high-tech

installation
maintenance to high­speed testing of industrial
products.

Each product of the Adixen
detector range is designed
to meet the specific needs
of each application:

•

portability,

•

high sensitivity,

•

pumping capacity,

•

pumping type,

•

automation and
integration in an industrial
process.
