The VR200 Soft Touch HF is a top of range regulator which combines advanced technology and cold resistance with elegance. It is entirely made in the Beuchat factory in France. And each Beuchat regulator is checked and adjusted individually on a specialised hyperbaric test bench. The VR200 Soft Touch HF is composed of a balanced diaphragm first stage (with 2 HP ports and 4 MP ports) and a balanced second stage with Venturi and sensitivity controls. It has a finned metal cover to increase resistance to freezing in extreme situations. And its Soft cover with centrally-positioned oval Soft Touch push button offers a larger dump zone.
100% Made in France Beuchat is the only brand that imagines, designs, develops and manufactures all its regulators in its factory, in France. Moreover, each regulator manufactured is checked and adjusted. Conception The design of a regulator begins by writing specifications synthesizing marketing needs and consumers’ expectations collected from consumer’s studies, our own diving center or from our salespeople and retailers all over the world. This marketing document is then transcribed into technical specifications to provide technological solutions to the expected benefits by divers. Development Thus begins the development phase, during which Beuchat engineers rely on 3D scanning tools to draw the different parts of the regulator. The prototype of these drawings will be experienced in our hyperbaric bench until it gives complete satisfaction. Test Then, some prototypes are produced in order to test it in the sea. Results of these underwater tests will be integrated to produce the final technical specifications and then the production will start. Production Production is entirely managed by Beuchat in its factory in Marseille, France. We owe machines to inject different plastic components, and machines for metallic pieces machining for the metallic pieces of the regulator. Pieces control Metrology department does a dimension and a profile control of the barely made components. Once passed the test, the pieces are brought to the assembly workshop. Assembly and final control of the regulator In the assembly workshop, operators combine manually the regulators. Finally, each product regulator is set and tested on a hyperbaric test bench, operation that will also edit the specific breathing curve of the regulator which will be joined to it.
