South Korean company’s quality measuring machines to the world

Korea YM technology companies to bring new products recently KARDIEN- test rig (www.kardien.co.kr) into the cigarette and filter quality measurement machine market . YM technology company by a group of researchers from Korea ‘s tobacco company KT & G established . In the industry and the production of its best-selling cigarette brand Esse aspects , KT & G has 115 years of history.

After several years of research and development, new quality measuring machine in June 2013 launched in South Korea , is now seeking global expansion. Seung Jae Lee , president of YM Technologies said, ” We are planning to carry KARDIEN overseas markets .”

The new module comprises the stage of trial weight, circumference, diameter , roundness ; pressure drop and airflow , and ; and hardness. And a sorter , which can measure the physical properties of a cigarette and a filter . ” All modules are based on ISO standards , and high measurement accuracy and reliability of the data, ” Lee continued.

Produced by the test station has two features to make it easy to operate. ” An important aspect of the new test rig is to maintain a simple and low cost in operation, we also want to avoid the issue cards , ” Lee explained.

First, they consider the existing quality measurement unit must be disassembled for maintenance and repair , and complex structures , making them difficult to clean the inside of the machine.

“We launched a new design, the number of components must be replaced to minimize therefore does not require complicated maintenance. Moreover, the measurement part and components are completely independent , in order to prevent cigarette filler during measurement or foreign pollution electronics materials.

” As a result, easier to clean – deep breath can clean the inside of the effort , and rarely stuck measuring machine , which helps reduce interrupt the measurement process .”

Lee said the new test rig has improved the quality of the user on an existing measuring machine may feel inconvenient ” every aspect .” “Because it is based on MS Windows systems , the HMI ( Human Machine Interface) is very friendly , ” he continued . ” The only thing the user is on the touch panel to select a project to measure the physical after the measurement is completed , you can immediately print out the results . It can be saved as an Excel file , so the data can be transferred to an external storage device , or through a network communications sent . ”

YM technology companies want to maintain low sales prices and measurement speed . “KARDIEN use programmable logic controllers to reduce the number of internal components and therefore one of its strengths is compared with the existing measuring machine , the physical properties of fast measurement speed by 18% , ” Lee said .

Without the use of one module at a time , you can remove it , replace with another . “As part of the machine automatically recognized , the user can continue uninterrupted use this machine .”

YM-Tech has to KT & G ‘s manufacturing plants and filter manufacturing company in Korea to provide a test bed . “This year will be equipped with 18 combinations of products, including a detection unit and a capsule capsules compressive strength measuring machine , ” Lee said.
