The Cooling-Thermal Automatic Performance Testing Machine is engineered for end-of-line quality testing of heat pipes and vapor chambers in high-volume production environments. With 6 test stations and a production capacity of 250 pieces per hour, it delivers fast, accurate thermal performance measurement — covering maximum test power up to 90W, test area up to 70 x 170mm, horizontal and vertical test angles, and 2D stackable test configurations.
The advanced model extends test power to 200W, supports 4 to 6 temperature measurement points, dual heat source configurations, single and dual heat sources, 2D and 3D tube compatibility, and integrates an ice water cooling system (10°C to 50°C) with LabView software control — providing full production-line thermal performance validation without requiring thermal conductive adhesive.

Where the Automatic Performance Tester Is Used?
The Cooling-Thermal Automatic Performance Testing Machine is the final quality gate in the heat pipe and vapor chamber production line — verifying that every finished unit meets its thermal performance specification before it leaves the factory. It is used by manufacturers who need reliable, high-speed thermal performance measurement integrated directly into their production process, not just in a separate laboratory environment.
It is widely deployed in the following production environments:
- Heat pipe manufacturers — end-of-line thermal resistance testing for D5-D10 copper heat pipes used in CPU coolers, server heat sinks, laptop thermal modules, and industrial electronics cooling
- Vapor chamber (VC) production facilities — performance testing of VC assemblies for AI server chips, high-power GPU cooling, and data center thermal management hardware
- New energy & EV thermal management manufacturers — testing heat pipes and VCs used in battery pack cooling systems, power inverter modules, and on-board charger thermal management
- Contract heat pipe manufacturers — high-throughput batch testing with 6 stations running simultaneously, supporting 250 pcs/hr output with sub-60-second test cycles
- R&D and engineering teams — characterising heat pipe and VC performance across different operating angles, power levels, and temperature conditions using LabView-controlled test programs
If your production requires automated thermal performance testing of heat pipes or vapor chambers at production speed — with test results logged, compared against pass/fail thresholds, and traceable to individual units — this machine is built for your line.

Delivery, Installation & After-Sales Support
Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) Before Shipment
Every performance testing machine undergoes a full Factory Acceptance Test at our Kunshan facility before dispatch. All parameters — station accuracy, power delivery stability, cooling system temperature control, LabView data acquisition, pass/fail logic, and throughput at rated capacity — are verified against your confirmed test specifications. You are welcome to attend in person or via live video.
On-Site Installation & Commissioning
Our engineers travel to your facility to install the machine, connect the ice water cooling circuit, configure the LabView test programs for your product specifications, and run a full production trial. We confirm that the tester is achieving the required throughput and measurement accuracy before handover.
LabView Test Program Setup & Operator Training
We configure the LabView software with your product test specifications — power levels, temperature thresholds, flow rates, pass/fail limits — and provide hands-on training for your operators and quality team. Full technical documentation is provided in English, including test program management, calibration procedures, and maintenance schedule.
Long-Term Calibration & Maintenance Support
Our dedicated 5-person maintenance team provides remote support and on-site visits for calibration, sensor replacement, cooling system servicing, and software updates. Periodic calibration is critical for thermal measurement accuracy — our team provides scheduled calibration support to keep your test data traceable and reliable over the equipment lifetime.
Export & Shipping
We handle full export documentation and support FOB, CIF, and DDP shipping terms. Our testing equipment has been shipped to Japan, South Korea, India, Turkey, Vietnam, and Taiwan. Our team is experienced in international logistics for precision measurement equipment, including packaging for transit protection and customs documentation.
