AISOAR’s new hydraulic cylinder factory has entered the equipment installation stage, marking another important step toward the facility becoming operational. Four testing and inspection units are now in place at our new Centre d'essais et de validation des vérins hydrauliques, which is being developed around two key capabilities: stronger in-house quality control and greater support for new product development through simulation testing.
For AISOAR, the new factory is not simply about increasing production capacity. It is also an opportunity to strengthen the way hydraulic cylinders are inspected, tested and developed throughout the manufacturing process.
How Will the New Center Strengthen Quality Control?
Quality control begins before a hydraulic cylinder reaches the assembly line.
One of the key functions of the new Centre d'essais et de validation des vérins hydrauliques is to expand our ability to evaluate incoming raw materials in-house. The new testing equipment will support checks related to material strength and stiffness, together with tensile testing, giving our quality team more information before materials move further into production.
For hydraulic cylinder manufacturing, raw-material consistency directly influences the reliability of later machining, welding, assembly and testing processes. By strengthening inspection at an earlier stage, AISOAR can build an additional layer of quality control into the manufacturing process.
The goal is straightforward: identify and evaluate material performance earlier, rather than relying only on inspections after components have already entered production.
How Will the Center Support New Hydraulic Cylinder Development?
The second major focus of the new center is new product development and validation.
AISOAR manufactures hydraulic cylinders for different machines, industries and operating conditions, which means many projects require customized dimensions, mounting configurations and performance requirements. The new testing center will provide additional capability for simulation testing, allowing our engineering team to evaluate new hydraulic cylinder designs under controlled test conditions.
Instead of viewing product development as only a design-and-production process, the new center adds another important step:
Design → Prototype → Simulation Testing → Evaluation → Optimization
This will give our engineering team more opportunities to observe product behavior, collect test data and support design verification before a new hydraulic cylinder moves further into production or application validation.
For customized OEM projects, this capability will be particularly valuable when a new design needs to be evaluated against specific operating requirements.
Why Is Testing and Validation an Important Part of the New Factory?
The development of the Centre d'essais et de validation des vérins hydrauliques reflects a broader goal for AISOAR’s new factory.
The project is not only expanding hydraulic cylinder manufacturing capacity. We are also building a more specialized manufacturing environment that brings together precision production, quality inspection, testing and product development.
As hydraulic cylinder production moves into the new facility, the existing factory will have additional space to focus on other hydraulic product lines, including hydraulic systems, hydraulic power units, hydraulic cylinder assembly and disassembly benches, hydraulic test benches and hydraulic lifting equipment.
This clearer division between the two manufacturing bases is designed to support more focused production, improved capacity utilization and stronger quality management across AISOAR’s hydraulic product portfolio.
What Comes Next for the Hydraulic Cylinder Test & Validation Center?
The arrival of the first four testing and inspection units is an important milestone, but the center is still taking shape.
Equipment installation, commissioning and preparation will continue as the new factory moves closer to full operation. In the coming stages, we will share more updates from the machining areas, production lines and the Centre d'essais et de validation des vérins hydrauliques as new capabilities come online.
For customers, the significance of the new center goes beyond the equipment itself. It represents AISOAR’s continued investment in better quality control, stronger product validation and more capable development support for customized hydraulic cylinder projects.
