NEWS & LATEST INNOVATIONS
We are pleased to invite you to MECSPE BARI 2025, the leading event for the manufacturing industry, automation, and robotics in Central and Southern Italy. From November 27 to 29, 2025, at the Nuova Fiera del Levante in Bari, professionals and companies will meet to share technologies, innovations, and solutions for the factory of the future. FT S.r.l. – Future Technologies will be exhibiting its solutions at the FORTEK Srl stand in the Automation and Robotics sector in Bari. We look forward to showing you how our solutions can make your production more efficient, safe, and sustainable.
Discover ARCM and ALDM, two innovative solutions for the complete automation of leak detection and refrigerant charging processes.
ALDM-Autonomous Leak Detection Machine
All parameters, such as the duration of the leak test and the points and/or components to be checked, can be set via a detailed map displayed on the touchscreen monitor. The robotic arm is able to autonomously reach all test points, detect any leaks, and store all measurements in a database. Once the scanner reads the barcode of the product to be tested, the process starts automatically.
ALDM introduces new levels of productivity and reliability in the final leak testing of refrigerators, freezers, automotive air conditioners, heat pumps, and similar products.
Undetected leaks lead to increased warranty costs. False alarms generate rework costs. For this reason, increasing the accuracy and reliability of the test results in immediate cost savings.
ALDM Characteristics
- Operational autonomy: the system automatically starts and independently manages all stages of the refrigerant leak detection process.
- Easy to configure: it can be easily configured via the ALDM graphical interface on the screen.
- Operator safety: it does not require the presence of an operator in the test area where flammable and harmful gases may be present.
- Test reliability: Each test is performed with absolute repeatability, ensuring comparable and traceable results.
- Production speed: Rapid, automated test execution speeds up cycle times and optimizes the production line.
- Sustainability: Also compatible with natural refrigerant gases.
- Compact & versatile: Compact design, ideal even for environments with limited space
ARCM-Autonomous Refrigerant Charging Machines
ARCM is a stand-alone vacuum and charging station for A2L, A2, A3, and non-flammable refrigerants. It is easy to use and guarantees high charging accuracy. It is designed for high- and medium-productivity production lines of heat pumps, domestic and commercial refrigerators/freezers, and other fields of application. It is designed and tested for use with isobutane (R600a) and propane (R290) and also for lines using the latest refrigerants, such as R1234yf and R1234ze.
The equipment is designed and manufactured for the assembly area of refrigeration units that use flammable gases in accordance with the provisions of ATEX Directive 99/92/EC. As the work areas are classified as hazardous, this equipment must be installed inside a ventilated enclosure capable of extracting any refrigerant leaks. The electrical and hydraulic components of the vacuum and recharge station have been selected by FT in accordance with the ATEX directive for the classification of areas with a high risk of explosion, thus making the entire system suitable for working with flammable liquids.
ALDM Characteristics
- Operational autonomy: The system automatically starts and independently manages all stages of the refrigerant charging process.
- Easy to configure: no configuration parameters are required to activate the manipulator.
- Operator safety: does not require the presence of an operator in the charging area where flammable and harmful gases are present.
- Reliability in charging: Each refrigerant charge is performed with precision and complete autonomy
- Production speed: rapid, automated refrigerant charging speeds up cycle times and optimizes the production line.
- Sustainability: also compatible with natural refrigerant gases.
- Compact & versatile: compact design, ideal even for environments with limited space.
