Compact Solid-State Battery Laboratory Hydraulic Hot Press

Introduction

The MY24 Laboratory Hydraulic Hot Press Machine is a compact, benchtop system designed to facilitate high-precision thermocompression processes in advanced materials research. Engineered primarily for applications such as solid-state battery electrolyte fabrication, polymer composite curing, and electrode lamination, this instrument provides controlled heating and pressure. By integrating programmable PID temperature regulation with high-resolution hydraulic pressure control, the system offers the repeatability and stability required for academic laboratories, pharmaceutical R&D, and industrial research facilities.

Key Features

• Programmable PID Thermal Control: Utilizes dual-zone PID heating to manage temperatures up to 500°C, aiming to minimize thermal gradients across the platen surfaces.
• Automatic Pressure Maintenance and Compensation: Features an automated pressure-holding mechanism. If the system detects pressure decay due to material deformation, compaction, or thermal relaxation, it automatically activates a pressure makeup sequence to maintain the target load within defined tolerances.
• High-Resolution Sensing: Incorporates a high-precision pressure sensor with a 0.2% full-scale accuracy, allowing for detailed tracking of compressive forces.
• User-Friendly Control Interface: Equipped with a 7-inch touchscreen controller that displays real-time temperature and pressure curves, facilitating multi-step recipe programming.

Technical Specifications

Application Fields

• Solid-State Battery Research: Compacting ceramic-based, sulfide-based, or polymer-composite solid-state electrolyte membranes to reduce interfacial resistance and improve ion conductivity.
• Electrode Lamination: Bonding active material coatings to current collectors (metallic foils) under specific thermal and compressive profiles to prepare uniform pouch cell or coin cell electrodes.
• Polymer and Composite Synthesis: Compressing and curing thermoplastic or thermosetting polymer films, carbon-fiber composites, or blended materials.
• Pharmaceutical and Biomaterial Compaction: Preparing pelletized samples, controlled-release drug matrices, or bio-scaffolds under precise pressure and temperature limits for dissolution and mechanical testing.

Customization Services

To accommodate diverse experimental setups and specific research methodologies, the MY24 platform offers modular customization options for both hardware and software:

• Hardware Modifications: Custom platen sizes, increased daylight spacing, integrated water-cooling channels for accelerated cooling cycles, or split-frame configurations compatible with glovebox integration (inert gas environments).
• Software and Connectivity: Tailored software interfaces for multi-stage temperature/pressure profiling, specialized data logging capabilities, and communication protocols (such as Modbus or USB/Ethernet data export) for integration into laboratory information management systems (LIMS).

Compliance and Safety Standards

Operating high-temperature and high-pressure equipment in laboratory environments requires strict adherence to safety protocols. The MY24 hot press incorporates several features to assist in safety and regulatory compliance:

• CE Marking: Designed and evaluated in accordance with relevant European health, safety, and environmental protection standards.
• Over-Temperature Protection: Features an independent hardware-level thermal cutoff circuit that disables power to the heating elements if the temperature exceeds a preset safety limit.
• Emergency Stop: Equipped with an easily accessible, physical emergency stop button that immediately vents hydraulic pressure and cuts off power to the heating zones.
• Physical Shielding: Includes protective shielding around the platen area to help mitigate risks associated with high-temperature contact or potential sample ejection under load.
