heal.abstract	The ATLAS detector at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN is designed to study the products of proton collisions at energies up to 14 TeV. One of its subdetectors is a high-resolution Muon spectrometer, designed to exploit the physics potential of the collisions. It consists of 1206 Monitored Drift Tube (MDT) chambers, which have to pass very strict quality criteria. For this purpose dedicated setups have been developed and automated at the National Technical University of Athens. In the present report the results of testing about 10,000 drift tubes are presented. These criteria comprise the anode wire mechanical tension, the high voltage dark current, the anode wire displacement, and the gas leak rate of the endplugs and the cylindrical drift tube.	en
