Instrument parameters

Core Technology Highlights and Functional Design

✅ Multi-axis Dual-station Control System: Double the Efficiency, Suitable for High-speed Production Lines

✦ Dual-station Parallel Pressing:

Two independent pressing modules work simultaneously (with a 300mm distance between stations, and operations do not interfere with each other). The pressing time for a single station is ≤ 8 seconds (including loading - pressing - unloading), and the hourly output of a single machine is ≥ 900 pieces (compared to only 300 pieces per hour for traditional single-station equipment). It supports "simultaneous start of both stations" or "independent operation of a single station" (switching modes through the touch screen), flexibly meeting the demands of "accelerating urgent orders" (both stations fully operational) or "small-batch debugging" (single-station operation).

✦ Multi-axis Collaborative Control:

Equipped with a 4-axis servo control system (X/Y/Z-axis displacement + pressing axis pressure), it synchronously controls the pressing position, depth, and force (pressure range 50–500N, accuracy ±5N).

It is compatible with various processes such as "point pressing" (single-electrode pressing) and "area pressing" (simultaneous pressing of multiple electrodes), covering all scenarios of electronic cigarettes, including "single-electrode small cigarettes" and "double-electrode large cigarettes". 

✅ Smart Brushless Electric Pressing Fixture: Patented Technology for More Stable and Efficient Pressing

✦ Self-developed brushless electric drive system:

Equipped with high-torque brushless motors and planetary gear reduction mechanisms (response time 0.1 seconds, torque accuracy ±3%), it replaces traditional pneumatic pressing (avoiding pressure deviations caused by air pressure fluctuations);

The pressing process is controlled in three stages: "soft start - constant pressure - slow stop" (e.g., starting with a pre-press of 100N → maintaining 300N for 2 seconds → slow stop with 50N), ensuring that the electrode and the cartridge snap fit is fully engaged without deformation (measured electrode deformation rate reduced from 2% to 0.1%).

✦ Patented locking buffer positioning device:

The press head is equipped with a spring and silicone composite buffer layer (compression stroke 2mm, rebound force ±0.5N), simulating the manual "light press - firm press" action;

Automatically compensates for the tolerance of incoming cartridge materials (e.g., height deviation ±0.2mm), preventing electrode breakage due to "over-pressing" or loosening due to "under-pressing" (traditional fixtures without buffers have a defect rate > 3%). 

✅ Specialized Control System for Pressing Nails: Efficient Programming, Extremely Simple Operation

✦ Graphical Programming and Coordinate Management:

Supports CAD drawing import (DXF/AI format), and the system automatically recognizes the electrode position coordinates and generates the pressing path (traditional equipment requires manual input of coordinates, taking more than 10 minutes per model);

Provides "array programming" function (such as a 3×3 electrode matrix, generating 9 pressing points with one click), "overall coordinate offset" (such as uniformly adjusting the X/Y axis by +0.5mm), suitable for rapid model change of multiple types of cartridges (model change time reduced from 30 minutes to 5 minutes).

✦ Mid-process Continuation and Pause Function:

During the pressing process, it can be "paused" at any time (such as checking defective products), and resume from the breakpoint automatically, avoiding batch rework;

Supports "single-step debugging" (pressing each point for verification), facilitating new employees to quickly master the operation (traditional equipment requires 3 days of training, while this machine only needs 1 day). 

✅ Full-process anti-stupidity detection: Zero missed inspections, controllable quality

✦ Intelligent detection of missing screws and loose locks:

Before pressing, a laser beam sensor (with an accuracy of ±0.1mm) is used to detect whether the electrode is loaded (if a screw is missing, an alarm will sound and the system will automatically replenish the material);

After pressing, a dual sensor of pressure and displacement is used (if the pressure deviation is greater than 10N or the displacement deviation is greater than 0.05mm, it is judged as a "loose lock"), triggering a red light and a buzzer alarm (with a volume of 85dB, adjustable), and the NG product is automatically marked (the traditional manual visual inspection has a missed inspection rate of more than 5%).

✦ Warning of screw stripping:

An internal torque monitoring module (real-time collection of pressing torque curves) is built in. When stripping occurs, the torque shows abnormal fluctuations (such as a sudden drop of 30%), the system automatically stops and prompts "replace the screw / check the bit";

This prevents "stripped electrode" from flowing into the next process (traditional equipment does not have this function, and stripped products lead to a return rate of more than 1% for after-sales service). 

✅ Gantry Robot Arm: High-speed, Precise, Stable and Durable

✦ Imported Motion Components Drive:

Equipped with German imported linear guides and Japanese servo motors (operating speed 600mm/s, repeat positioning accuracy ±0.02mm), ensuring "zero deviation" in electrode loading and pressing positions;

The robot arm's travel covers dual workstations (X-axis 1000mm, Y-axis 500mm), supporting "cross-station pick and place" (e.g., picking electrodes from the tray → pressing at workstation 1 → supplementary pressing at workstation 2).

✦ Lightweight Structure Design:

The robot arm is made of a composite material of aviation aluminum alloy and carbon fiber (weighing only 8kg, with a load capacity of 5kg), with operational vibration ≤ 0.01mm (traditional steel robot arms have vibration > 0.05mm), extending the lifespan of the guide rails (theoretical lifespan ≥ 10 million movements). 

Application scenarios and customer value

✅ Mass production orders: Dual breakthroughs in efficiency and yield rate

✦ Line compatibility:

Seamlessly integrated with the "oil injection - cap pressing - testing" stage of the e-cigarette assembly line, with a single-piece inspection time of less than 10 seconds, meeting the high-speed production line demand of "96 pieces per minute";

The pass rate of suction resistance has increased from 80% (manual spot check) to 98%, reducing customer complaints caused by "excessively tight or loose suction resistance" (traditional manual judgment based on feel has an error rate of over 20%). 

✅ Novice Worker Training: Lowering the Operational Threshold and Reducing Waste

✦ Minimalist Operation Design:

Dual mode of touch screen and numerical control buttons (adapting to different operation habits), new employees can operate independently in just 1 day (compared to 3 days for traditional equipment);

Anti-mistake functions automatically prevent erroneous operations such as "missing nails/skipped threads", reducing electrode loss rate from 1% to 0.2% (saving 100,000 yuan in electrode costs annually). 

✅ Multi-model flexible production: Quick model changeover, responsive to market demands

✦ Small-batch multi-model switching:

The entire process of "model changeover - programming - debugging" can be completed in 5 minutes (import new drawings → system automatically generates paths → single-step debugging verification);

Supports a flexible mode of "producing Model A in the morning and switching to Model B in the afternoon", with order response speed increased by 50% (suitable for custom e-liquid cartridges and co-branded product production) 

Reliability and Maintenance

✅ Structural Durability:

✦ Brushless motor lifespan ≥ 5 million pressings (equivalent to continuous production for 2 years, averaging 10,000 pieces per day);

✦ Life of gantry robot guide rails ≥ 10 million movements (theoretically maintenance-free operation for 5 years). 

✅ Easy-to-maintain design:

✦ The bonding module/mechanical hand assembly supports "snap-on disassembly" (no tools required, replacement completed within 5 minutes);

✦ Annual calibration takes only 1 hour (original factory pressure calibration block + displacement calibration ruler provided);

✦ Self-diagnostic function (displaying error codes such as "pressure sensor drift" and "mechanical hand positioning deviation"), guiding quick maintenance. 

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

✦ Programming and Parameter Setting → Import the CAD drawing of the e-cigarette cartridge, and the system automatically generates the pressing path; set parameters such as pressing force (e.g., 300N) and time (2 seconds);

✦ Loading and Clamping → The operator places the e-cigarette cartridge into the fixture at the workstation (magnetic positioning, automatic alignment), and the electrodes are placed in the feed tray (vibratory feeder automatically sorts them);

✦ Start Pressing → Click the "Start" button, and the robot automatically picks up the electrode → presses → inspects, and displays the status of each workstation in real time (green: OK; red: NG);

✦ Unloading and Sorting → OK products flow into the next process, and NG products (such as missing screws/loose locks) are placed in the defective product box by the robot, and the operator repairs them collectively.
