In precision manufacturing fields such as automobile manufacturing and aerospace, the stability of vacuum technology directly determines product quality. Taking the brazing of car radiators as an example, even small leaks in the furnace can introduce oxygen, causing oxidation and insufficient strength of the welding points, ultimately leading to the scrapping of the entire batch of products. Traditional leak detection methods either lag in response or are easily affected by oil pollution and dust interference, making it difficult to adapt to the real-time control needs of modern production lines, leading to high waste rates and continuously rising costs for enterprises.

Core challenge: The pain points of monitoring industrial vacuum scenes urgently need to be solved

During the operation of vacuum equipment such as brazing furnaces, pressure stability is the core to ensure process quality. Once a leak occurs, the invasion of external gases will directly damage the process environment and cause product defects. However, traditional methods such as pressure rise testing and mass spectrometry have obvious shortcomings: slow response speed and inability to provide timely warning in the early stages of leakage; Weak anti-interference ability, prone to failure in complex environments such as magnesium powder, welding slag, and oil pollution; High maintenance frequency makes it difficult to support a complete preventive maintenance cycle, seriously affecting production continuity.

Enterprises urgently need a monitoring device that combines real-time, anti pollution, and stability, which can accurately capture leakage signals, adapt to harsh working conditions, and reduce maintenance costs.
