6-station suction machine DR-Y3206

The six-station suction machine is a device used to measure the suction resistance of finished electronic cigarettes, widely applied in the quality control and inspection fields of electronic cigarette production. This equipment operates based on the principle of simulating manual suction with a piston. Specifically, when the test instrument's piston simulates manual suction of the electronic cigarette and inhales a fixed flow rate (for example, 17.5 ml/s) of air, a certain vacuum pressure will be generated at the inhalation end of the electronic cigarette, which is the suction resistance. The test instrument will measure this pressure in real time, that is, the real-time suction resistance. In this way, the suction resistance characteristics of the electronic cigarette can be accurately measured. During the test, the product can also be charged.

2. It can choose trapezoidal wave smoking or sinusoidal wave smoking mode.

3. It can choose cycle test or single test mode.

4. It can set judgment parameters to determine whether the suction resistance or smoke of each test is qualified.

5. The control system interface supports Chinese and English switching.

8. It has RS232 and RS485 communication functions (optional).

9. The product fixture and cigarette lighting thumb cylinder are flexible and adjustable, making it convenient to test different models of electronic cigarette products.

Instrument parameters

Core Technology Highlights and Functional Design

✅ 6-Station Parallel Inspection: 6x Efficiency Boost, Suitable for High-Speed Production Lines

✦ Independent Station Design:

6 inspection modules support synchronous/independent operation (one-click mode switching);

Single-station inspection time ≤ 10 seconds (including clamping - suction - data upload), 6-station synchronous inspection efficiency is 500% higher than single-station, perfectly matching the high-speed production rhythm of "20 pieces per minute" for e-cigarette production lines.

✦ Quick-Change Fixture System:

Magnetic fixture 2-second switching, suitable for mainstream cartridges with diameters of 6–22mm (round tubes/flat tubes/irregular shapes);

Self-calibrating positioning slots (±0.01mm repeatability), eliminating measurement errors caused by clamping offset. 

✅ Piston Bionic Suction: Restores Real Taste, Ensures More Reliable Data

✦ Simulates Human Suction Logic:

Equipped with a servo motor to drive the piston, precisely controlling the suction flow rate at 17.5ml/s ± 0.5ml/s;

The suction process is divided into three stages: "pre-suction - steady suction - final suction", replicating the dynamic curve of "gradually increasing - stable - gradually decreasing" in human suction, ensuring that the test results are highly consistent with the actual smoking experience.

✦ Dynamic Compensation Technology:

Equipped with built-in temperature and humidity sensors, automatically correcting for environmental fluctuations within ±2℃ in temperature and ±5% in humidity;

The measured resistance deviation of standard components is ≤±0.03kPa (compared to ±0.2kPa for traditional manual handheld gauges). 

✅ Real-time resistance monitoring + charging integration: Full-scenario compatibility

✦ Dual-function integrated design:

Real-time resistance measurement: 7-inch industrial touch screen simultaneously displays real-time pressure curves of 6 workstations (accuracy 0.01kPa), average resistance value, and pass/fail determination.

Synchronous charging function: Each workstation is equipped with a built-in USB-C charging port (5V/2A), automatically charging the e-cigarette during testing (charging is triggered when battery level is <20%), avoiding testing deviations caused by insufficient battery power. 

✅ Intelligent Data Management: Traceable and Compliant

✦ Large Capacity Storage

Store up to 100,000 sets of detection records (time/sample number/resistance value/charging status);

Support multi-dimensional filtering and querying by "date", "model", and "operator".

✦ Multiple Format Export:

Export Excel/CSV reports via USB (including original pressure curves)

Support integration with MES systems (optional), enabling closed-loop management of production line data. 

Application scenarios and customer value

✅ Full inspection on production lines: "Zero blind spots" in quality control

✦ Adaptation to high-speed production lines:

Seamless integration with the rhythm of oil injection machines and cap pressing machines (single-piece inspection time < 10 seconds)

Full inspection coverage on production lines increases from 20% (manual spot checks) to 100%, with a defective product interception rate of ≥ 99.8% (such as airway blockage, seal ring leakage, etc.). 

✅ R&D Verification: Precise Quantitative Design Optimization

✦ Resistance Characteristics Analysis:

Simultaneously test 6 groups of differently structured cartridges (such as different airway lengths, cotton core densities);

Output "pressure-time" dynamic curves to assist in optimizing the balance between resistance and smoke volume (such as reducing resistance to enhance smoothness, or increasing resistance to enhance throat hit). 

✅ Third-party testing: Authoritative and traceable data

✦ Compliance certification support:

Compliant with ISO 8243 (e-cigarette testing methods), GB 41700 (Chinese e-cigarette national standard), and PMTA (US pre-market tobacco application) testing requirements;

Test reports can be directly used for product export certification (such as EU TPD, Japan PMDA). 

Reliability and Maintenance

✅ Structural Durability:

✦ The piston assembly is made of zirconia ceramic (8 times more wear-resistant than metal, with a lifespan of ≥ 500,000 suction cycles);

✦ The fixture surface is treated with a Teflon coating (resistant to smoke oil residue and easy to clean). 

✅ Easy-to-maintain design:

✦ The piston/sensor module supports quick disassembly (no tools required);

✦ Annual calibration takes only 40 minutes (standard calibration kit provided);

✦ Self-diagnostic function for faults (displays specific error codes and guides maintenance). 

✅ Operating Procedure (5 Steps for Immediate Learning and Application)

✦ Fixture Installation → Select the magnetic fixture based on the e-cigarette cartridge specifications and insert it into the corresponding position in 2 seconds.

✦ Equipment Calibration → Start the automatic calibration program (with an internal standard leak hole) to ensure the accuracy of flow and pressure.

✦ Sample Placement → Insert the e-cigarette cartridge into the fixture positioning slot and press lightly to fix it (triggering a charging detection; if the battery is low, it will be automatically charged).

✦ Test Initiation → Click the "Start" button, and the 6 positions will simultaneously complete the suction-resistance measurement (within 10 seconds).

✦ Result Processing → Qualified samples are marked with a "green label" (suction resistance within ±0.1 kPa), and unqualified samples are marked with a "red label" and an alarm is triggered. Data is automatically stored locally or uploaded to MES.
