8-station suction machine DR-Y3208

The 8-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 piston suction to simulate manual suction. 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 suction 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.

Instrument parameters

Core Technology Highlights and Functional Design

✅ 8-Station Parallel Inspection: Efficiency Boosted 8-Fold, Suitable for Ultra-High-Speed Production Lines

✦ Independent Station Design:

8 inspection modules support synchronous or independent operation (one-click mode switching);

Single-station inspection time ≤ 7.5 seconds (including clamping - suction - data upload), with an 8-station synchronous inspection efficiency 700% higher than that of a single station, perfectly matching the ultra-high-speed production line rhythm of "30 units per minute" for e-cigarettes.

✦ Quick-Change Fixture System:

Magnetic fixture switching in 1.5 seconds, suitable for all series of e-cigarette cartridges with diameters ranging from 5 to 25mm (round tubes, flat tubes, and irregular shapes);

Self-calibrating positioning slots (±0.005mm repeatability), completely eliminating measurement errors caused by clamping offset (error rate of traditional equipment > 3%). 

✅ Piston Bionic Flow Control: Restores the Real Smoking Experience, Ensuring More Reliable Data

✦ Simulates Human Inhalation Logic:

Utilizes a servo motor and precision lead screw to drive the piston, precisely controlling the inhalation flow rate (17.5ml/s ± 0.3ml/s);

The inhalation process is divided into three stages: "pre-inhalation (2 seconds) - steady inhalation (3 seconds) - final inhalation (2.5 seconds)", dynamically simulating the "gradually increasing - stable - gradually decreasing" curve of human oral inhalation. The deviation of the detection result from the actual smoking resistance is less than 0.05kPa (the deviation of traditional equipment is greater than 0.2kPa).

✦ Environment Adaptive Compensation:

Equipped with built-in temperature, humidity, and pressure sensors (accuracy ±0.1℃, ±1%RH, ±0.1kPa), automatically correcting the impact of environmental fluctuations on measurements;

The deviation of the measured standard component's resistance is ≤ ±0.02kPa (the deviation of manual handheld measurement is ±0.3kPa). 

✅ Real-time suction resistance monitoring + intelligent charging: Dual-function integration, no blind spots in scenarios

✦ Dual-function collaborative design:

Real-time suction resistance measurement: 10-inch industrial touch screen simultaneously displays real-time pressure curves of 8 workstations (accuracy 0.01kPa), average suction resistance value, and pass/fail determination (green label/red label);

Intelligent charging module: Each workstation is equipped with a USB-C fast charging interface (5V/3A). During testing, it automatically detects the e-cigarette battery level (threshold can be set, such as <30%), triggering the "test and charge simultaneously" function to avoid suction resistance anomalies caused by low battery (traditional equipment requires an additional charging step, increasing the time by 15%). 

✅ End-to-end data management: Traceable and compliant without worries

✦ Large-capacity storage and analysis:

Store 200,000 sets of detection records (time/sample number/resistance curve/charging status);

Supports intelligent functions such as "normal distribution analysis", "batch comparison", and "abnormal trend warning" (e.g., automatic alarm if the resistance of three consecutive samples is abnormally high).

✦ Multi-system integration capability:

Supports USB/network port export of Excel/CSV reports (including original pressure curves);

Optional MES system interface to achieve real-time linkage of detection data with production line work orders and yield statistics (suitable for smart factories). 

Application scenarios and customer value

✅ Ultra-high-speed production line full inspection: "Zero-delay" quality control

✦ Production line adaptability:

It forms a full-chain closed loop with the oil injection machine, capping machine, and packaging machine, namely "oil injection - capping - inspection - packaging", with a single inspection time of less than 8 seconds;

The full inspection coverage rate of the production line has increased from 15% (manual spot check) to 100%, and the interception rate of defective products is ≥ 99.9% (such as airway blockage, seal ring damage, cotton core displacement, etc.). 

✅ Conduct multiple sets of comparative tests: Accelerate design optimization

✦ Multi-variable synchronous verification:

A single test can simultaneously compare 8 different designs of cartridges (such as different airway lengths, cotton core densities, and silicone seal thicknesses);

Output "pressure-time" dynamic curves and average draw resistance, assisting the R&D team in quickly identifying the optimal solution (traditional single-station testing requires 8 repetitions, increasing the time by 700%). 

✅ Third-party authoritative testing: Data is authoritative and traceable

✦ Compliance certification support:

Complies with global mainstream certification requirements such as ISO 8243 (e-cigarette testing methods), GB 41700 (Chinese e-cigarette national standard), PMTA (US pre-market tobacco application), etc.

The test report includes original pressure curves and environmental parameter records, which can be directly used for product export compliance declaration (such as EU TPD, Japan PMDA). 

Reliability and Maintenance

✅ Structural Durability:

✦ The piston assembly is made of zirconia ceramic (with a lifespan of ≥1 million suction cycles, equivalent to continuous testing of 100,000 cartridges);

✦ The fixture surface is treated with a nano-coating (resistant to e-liquid penetration, can be cleaned by wiping). 

✅ Easy-to-maintain design:

✦ The piston/sensor module supports "blind disassembly and installation" (no tools required, replacement completed in 5 seconds);

✦ Annual calibration takes only 1 hour (original factory calibration kit provided, including standard leak holes and pressure gauges);

✦ Self-diagnostic function for faults (displaying specific error codes, such as "piston jam" or "sensor drift"), guiding quick maintenance. 

✅ Operation Process (5 Steps to Learn and Use Immediately)

✦ Fixture Switching → Select the magnetic fixture according to the specifications of the e-cigarette cartridge and insert it into the corresponding position in 1.5 seconds;

✦ Automatic Calibration → Start the device self-check (flow and pressure dual calibration), completed in 30 seconds (with built-in standard leak holes and pressure gauge);

✦ Sample Loading and Charging → Insert the e-cigarette cartridge into the fixture positioning slot (automatically triggers charging detection, and automatically charges if the battery is low);

✦ Start Testing → Click the "Start" button, and the 8 positions complete the suction-resistance measurement simultaneously within 7.5 seconds;

✦ Result Output → Qualified samples are marked with a "green label" (suction resistance within ±0.1 kPa), unqualified samples are marked with a "red label" and an audible and visual alarm is triggered, and the data is automatically stored and uploaded.
