DR - Electronic Vape Cartridge Capping Machine2

This machine is mainly used for the pressing and assembly of the oil cup and base of e-cigarette cartridges. 

Performance Features

1. The equipment has high horsepower and is easy to operate.

2. It uses a touch screen operating system, with multiple parameters clearly visible and a product type data saving function.

3. The equipment is convenient and fast to operate, improving work efficiency.

4. The equipment is suitable for various types of electronic cigarette atomizers. 

Product Application

The specific operation steps are as follows: On the platform of the capping machine, the operator places the base of the oil cup in the fixture and then places the semi-finished oil-filled oil cup on the tray platform. There is a pressing device at the bottom of the capping machine, which aligns with the fixture for pressing. When the pressing machine reaches the set pressing height, it will perform the pressing operation and then return to the safe height. This capping machine features high efficiency and ease of use. 

Instrument parameters

Core Technology Highlights and Functional Design

✅ Servo Precision Pressure Control: No deviation in pressing, more reliable sealing

✦ Servo motor + precision lead screw drive:

Pressing force range 50–500N (covering pressing requirements for various materials such as silicone rings, plastic snap-fit parts, and metal snap rings of e-cigarettes), pressure accuracy ±1N (traditional cylinder pressing deviation ±50N);

Pressing displacement control at 0.05mm level (e.g., if the oil cup needs to be pressed into the base by 1.2mm, the actual error is ≤0.03mm), ensuring complete engagement of the snap-fit parts and eliminating the risk of leakage caused by "false pressing" (leakage rate of traditional equipment > 2%).

✦ Pressure-displacement dual closed-loop control:

Real-time collection of the "pressure-displacement" curve during the pressing process, automatically matching preset process parameters (e.g., "fast press to 100N → slow press to 300N and hold for 2 seconds");

Abnormal curves (such as sudden pressure drop, insufficient displacement) are automatically marked and alarmed, precisely locating issues such as "snap-fit part breakage" and "silicone ring misalignment". 

✅ Multi-station parallel design: Efficiency boost, suitable for high-speed production lines

✦ 4-station simultaneous pressing:

4 independent pressing modules support simultaneous operation, with each station taking ≤4 seconds for pressing (including loading and unloading), achieving a production capacity of ≥3600 units per hour per machine (compared to 900 units per hour for traditional single-station equipment);

The distance between stations is 150mm (ergonomically designed), allowing operators to pick and place 4 cartridges in 2 seconds, significantly reducing labor intensity.

✦ Quick mold change system:

Magnetic fixtures can be switched in 30 seconds, accommodating a full range of cartridges with diameters of 8–20mm and heights of 15–40mm (round tubes, flat tubes, and irregular shapes);

The fixtures are equipped with "positioning slots + elastic clamps" (repeatability positioning accuracy ±0.02mm), completely eliminating pressing errors caused by fixture misalignment (traditional mold change error > 0.1mm). 

✅ Leak-proof detection integration: Quality inspection upon pressing, zero leakage upon leaving the factory

✦ Air pressure sealing detection module:

Automatically initiates the "inflation - pressure maintenance - leakage detection" process after pressing is completed (inflation pressure 5kPa, pressure maintenance time 3 seconds);

High-precision differential pressure sensor (accuracy ±0.1Pa) continuously monitors pressure changes, with a leakage determination threshold of ≤0.5Pa/s (equivalent to a leakage rate of <0.01ml per hour for the cigarette cartridge);

Leaking cigarette cartridges are automatically marked "NG" (red indicator light + buzzer alarm), preventing them from entering the next process (traditional offline secondary inspection has a missed detection rate >1%).

✦ Visual auxiliary positioning:

2-megapixel industrial camera continuously captures the alignment status of the oil cup and the base (resolution 0.01mm/pixel);

When the offset exceeds the tolerance (＞0.1mm), pressing is automatically paused and a prompt "adjust fixture" is displayed to prevent pressing failure due to incorrect clamping. 

✅ Intelligent Parameter Management: Traceable Processes, More Compliant Production

✦ Storage and Retrieval of Process Parameters:

Supports storage of 100 sets of e-cigarette cartridge model process parameters (pressure/displacement/holding time/leakage detection threshold), and one-click retrieval during model change (e.g., Model A: 300N pressure, 1.2mm displacement; Model B: 250N pressure, 1.0mm displacement);

Parameter modification requires permission verification (admin password) to ensure process consistency (preventing batch defects caused by misoperation).

✦ Visualized Production Data:

10-inch industrial touch screen displays real-time "current production capacity/yield rate/NG type proportion" (e.g., "leakage proportion 3%", "offset proportion 1%");

Supports USB export of Excel reports (including the bonding time, pressure curve, and leakage detection results of each e-cigarette cartridge), meeting compliance requirements such as ISO 13485 (medical grade) and national e-cigarette standards. 

Application scenarios and customer value

✅ Ultra-high-speed mass production line: Dual guarantee of efficiency and yield rate

✦ Production line adaptability:

It forms a full closed loop of "oil injection - cap pressing - detection" with the oil injection machine and the cigarette cartridge assembly line. A single cigarette cartridge only takes 10 seconds from oil injection to complete pressing.

The leakage rate drops from 2% (manual pressing) to 0.1%, saving 500,000 yuan in annual repair costs (calculated based on an annual production of 5 million cigarette cartridges). 

✅ Small-batch R&D verification: Rapid process stabilization

✦ Multi-parameter debugging support:

Supports "pressure gradient testing" (e.g., 200N/250N/300N) and "displacement verification" (1.0mm/1.2mm/1.5mm), assisting the R&D team in determining the optimal bonding parameters (traditionally taking 3–5 days, now only 2 hours);

Outputs the "pressure-leakage rate" correlation curve to guide material selection (e.g., replacing a softer silicone ring can reduce the bonding pressure). 

✅ Customized production: Flexible response to multiple model demands

✦ Small batch and multiple model switching:

30-second quick mold change, supporting a flexible production mode of "producing Model A in the morning and switching to Model B in the afternoon";

Avoiding the time waste of "2 hours for mold change + 1 hour for debugging" in traditional equipment, the order response speed is increased by 60% (applicable to customized e-liquid cartridges and co-branded product production). 

Reliability and Maintenance

✅ Structural Durability:

✦ The service life of the servo motor is ≥ 10 million pressings (equivalent to continuous production for one year, with an average of 30,000 pieces per day);

✦ The surface of the fixture is treated with a nano-coating (resistant to smoke oil penetration, and can be cleaned by wiping). 

✅ Easy-to-maintain design:

✦ The bonding module supports "blind disassembly and installation" (no tools required, replacement completed within 5 minutes);

✦ Annual calibration takes only 1 hour (original factory pressure calibration blocks and displacement calibration rulers are provided);

✦ Self-diagnostic function for faults (displaying error codes such as "pressure sensor drift" and "fixture positioning offset"), guiding quick maintenance. 

✅ Operating Procedure (5 Steps to Learn and Use Immediately)

✦ Parameter Call-up → The operator selects the e-cigarette cartridge model (e.g., "X-20 Round Tube") on the touch screen, and the equipment automatically loads the corresponding process parameters (pressure 300N, displacement 1.2mm);

✦ Loading and Clamping → Take 4 e-cigarette cartridges (with the oil cup facing up and the base facing down), and place them in the fixture positioning slot (the elastic clamping jaws automatically fix them without pressing);

✦ Start Pressing → Click the "Start" button, and the equipment automatically completes "pressing - sealing test - result determination" (total time ≤ 4 seconds);

✦ Unloading and Sorting → OK products (green light) flow into the packaging line, and NG products (red light + buzzer) are taken out for rework (such as re-pressing or replacing the base).
