Manual Battery Cell Hot Press Flattening Shaping Machine

Product Overview

This manual battery cell hot press flattening and shaping system is designed for post-winding conditioning of battery cells before casing insertion. It applies controlled heat and compression through parallel heated platens, helping wound cells achieve a stable, uniform thickness profile. The process reduces cell elasticity and rebound while supporting more consistent downstream assembly results.

The equipment is suited to lithium battery cell manufacturing, pilot-scale production, laboratory development, and process verification where wound cells require thermal flattening before entering a housing. Adjustable temperature, pressure, and hot-press time allow operators to align the forming cycle with different cell process requirements without changing the core workstation arrangement.

Built around a stable single-station structure, the unit combines regulated pneumatic actuation with controlled platen heating. LCD temperature display, temperature-abnormality alarm, light-curtain protection, and automatic, semi-automatic, and manual operating functions support dependable use in demanding cell fabrication environments while keeping the footprint compact.

Key Features

• Controlled thermal forming: Heated platens transfer heat to the cell while compression is applied, enabling stable shaping under a selected combination of temperature and pressure. Heating temperature is adjustable from room temperature to 250℃ for process-specific forming cycles.

• Adjustable 1T pressing capability: The upper and lower worktable pressure can be regulated through the pressure regulating valve. This allows the operator to set pressing conditions for different cell structures and forming requirements within the available 1T pressure capacity.

• High platen parallelism: The two pressing plates provide parallelism within 0.05, supporting even contact across the 200x200mm hot-press area. Consistent platen alignment is important for maintaining uniform cell thickness during flattening and shaping.

• LCD temperature visibility: The temperature controller panel allows adjustment of the setpoint and displays both the current value and set value on an LCD screen. This direct visibility helps operators verify thermal conditions during setup and routine production work.

• Accurate temperature control: Control accuracy of ±2℃ supports repeatable platen heating conditions. A thermocouple and heating tube arrangement is used to control heat transfer to the pressing templates and maintain the selected forming temperature.

• Single-station mechanical stability: The equipment uses a single-workstation configuration with structurally stable upper and lower worktable assemblies. This format provides a focused, controlled forming position for individual wound cells and simplifies loading and unloading.

• Efficient heat-transfer platen construction: The worktable surfaces are made from high-quality material selected for heat transfer performance. Effective thermal transfer supports process efficiency and helps reduce unnecessary power consumption during hot-press operation.

• Flexible operating modes: Automatic and semi-automatic control modes provide convenient routine operation, while a manual function is available for adjustment and commissioning. This combination supports both repeatable cycle execution and practical process setup.

• Integrated operator protection: A light-curtain protection device is fitted to improve operational safety around the pressing area. The system also includes a temperature-abnormality alarm to alert personnel to out-of-normal thermal conditions.

• Compact production-ready layout: With overall dimensions of L350xW320xH550mm, this unit conserves bench or production-floor space. Its geometric sheet-metal enclosure provides a clean, refined equipment appearance while protecting the working assembly.

Why Choose This Product

• Purpose-built for wound-cell conditioning: This system is specifically configured to heat, flatten, and shape wound battery cells before casing insertion, addressing the practical need for stable cell dimensions and reduced rebound.

• Process parameters remain under operator control: Temperature, pressure, and hot-press time are adjustable, allowing the forming cycle to be matched to established cell process requirements rather than forcing a fixed operating condition.

• Precision where it affects uniformity: ±2℃ temperature-control accuracy and platen parallelism within 0.05 provide the key control points needed for consistent contact and thermal forming across the working area.

• Engineered for dependable daily operation: A stable single-station structure, quality heat-transfer work surfaces, pneumatic cylinder actuation, and clearly displayed temperature values support straightforward, repeatable use.

• Safety and usability integrated into the workstation: Light-curtain protection, temperature-abnormality alarm, and automatic, semi-automatic, and manual functions give production and development teams practical control throughout operation and setup.
