Precision Digital Battery Cell Shaping Machine Supercapacitor Cell Flattening Machine

Product Overview

This precision digital cell shaping machine is designed to form and compact the positive and negative electrode end faces of battery and supercapacitor cells. Its four-station forming arrangement folds copper and aluminum foil substrates inward in an orderly sequence, creating a compact, overlapping end-face condition for subsequent laser welding with upper and lower collector tabs. Adjustable shaping speed and dwell time allow the process to be aligned with production requirements.

The equipment is primarily intended for No. 60 battery and supercapacitor cells with an approximate 57 mm diameter and lengths from 50 to 204 mm. It serves cell manufacturing operations where electrode-end geometry, foil positioning, and defect screening directly affect downstream joining quality. Other product specifications can be customized to suit defined cell formats.

Built around PLC process control and a human-machine interface, this unit combines visible length adjustment, precision tooling, and automated operating modes in one production-oriented platform. Short-circuit testing is supplied as standard, while resistance testing can be added when required. The result is a controlled shaping step built for consistent operation under specified plant utility and environmental conditions.

Key Features

• Four-Station Sequential Forming: Four forming stations press copper and aluminum foil substrates inward one by one in a regular sequence. This controlled arrangement promotes substrate overlap and is designed to avoid short-circuit occurrence during the forming process.

• Compact Electrode-End Formation: The equipment shapes and compacts positive and negative electrode end faces into a defined configuration. A compact end-face condition supports preparation for laser welding to upper and lower collector tabs.

• Standard Short-Circuit Screening: A short-circuit test function is included as standard. It enables the unit to identify and screen defective products as part of the shaping workflow.

• Optional Resistance Test Capability: Resistance testing can be installed according to process needs. The detection range can be set, allowing the system to screen products whose resistance values do not meet the selected acceptance requirement.

• Grating-Scale Length Adjustment: When product models are changed, length adjustment is detected and displayed through a grating scale. This provides an accurate, direct visual reference for format changeover and helps operators set the required product length with confidence.

• Controlled Dimensional Performance: The unit provides length positioning accuracy of +/-0.03 mm and shaping length error of +/-0.1 mm. These specified values support controlled placement and repeatable shaping across the applicable cell-length range.

• Precision Tooling Design: Precision mold design is used to support accurate cell shaping. The tooling is specified for a normal service life exceeding 5 million cycles, supporting sustained use in repetitive production duties.

• PLC and HMI Operation: PLC process control and a human-machine interface provide a direct operating environment. Operators can adjust shaping speed and dwell time, monitor relevant settings, and select from multiple automatic operating modes for different production situations.

• Production-Focused Availability: With capacity of no less than 3 PPM and an availability rate of 98%, the equipment is configured for recurring production work. Its 0.5 kW power rating and 220 V/50 Hz supply requirement support integration where the specified electrical and pneumatic services are available.

• Industrial Enclosure and Installation Readiness: An aluminum-profile outer enclosure provides a refined, practical machine structure intended for convenient operation. Defined compressed-air, temperature, humidity, floor-loading, and transport requirements give facility teams clear criteria for site preparation.
