VM6 Pneumatic Actuator Tester

The VM6 represents the evolution of the VM4: a fully pneumatic tool, designed to offer greater precision, operating speed, and testing capability for more advanced applications.

Power supply and use

The VM6 can be connected directly to the workshop compressed air network via:

• coiled hose
• quick coupling

This eliminates the need for manual generation and allows smoother, continuous use.

Dual reading: pressure and vacuum

The system maintains the dual-gauge configuration, but with extended ranges:

• Vacuum
  • range: 0 → -1 bar
  • operating capacity up to about -0,9 bar
• Pressure
  • range: 0 → 6 bar

The extension of the pressure scale makes the VM6 particularly suitable also for industrial vehicles and heavy-duty applications.

Fast and precise control

The VM6 introduces advanced features that improve the operating experience:

• Central selector
  • immediate switching between vacuum and pressure
  • quick test management without reconfiguration
• Integrated regulators
  • fine adjustment of the set value
  • elimination of repetitive manual operations (pumping/releasing)
• Result
  • greater working speed
  • more stable and precise control
  • reduction of operating error

Leak test (with accessory)

With the addition of an optional module equipped with:

• digital pressure gauge
• external power supply

the VM6 allows advanced actuator leak testing.

What it allows you to verify:

• presence of micro-leaks
• the actuator’s ability to maintain pressure or vacuum over time

Why it is important:

• prevents post-installation malfunctions
• ensures overhaul quality
• improves the reliability of the turbo system

Integration with VNT Connect

The VM6 can be used in combination with VNT Connect for the complete management of electropneumatic actuators:

• VM6 → generates and regulates pressure/vacuum
• VNT Connect → controls and monitors the electronic part

Advantage

• complete actuator testing
• realistic simulation of operating conditions
• greater accuracy in diagnosis and adjustment

Applications

The VM6 is ideal for:

• pneumatic actuators
• electropneumatic actuators
• variable geometry turbines
• systems with bypass valve (wastegate)
• automotive and industrial applications

In summary

The VM6 is an advanced tool that offers:

• wider pressure range
• more precise and faster control
• integration with electronic systems
• advanced testing features

Compared to the VM4, it represents a more complete solution for professional and production environments.
