Prismatic Battery Barcode Scanning Inspection Eight Bin Sorting Machine

Product Overview

This system is an automated 8+1-bin OCV sorting solution for prismatic aluminum-shell batteries. It integrates battery barcode scanning, voltage measurement, internal-resistance measurement, result recording, and process-directed classification in one connected workflow. By linking each measured cell with its scanned identity, the equipment supports controlled quality decisions before downstream pairing, grouping, or assembly operations.

The equipment is intended for battery manufacturing lines that process prismatic cells and require barcode-based inspection with defined voltage and resistance sorting criteria. Operators load cells onto the infeed belt, while the system handles pickup, scanning, testing, transfer to the sorting station, and placement into the assigned process grade. It can test product voltage and internal resistance without distinguishing positive and negative terminals.

Built around an industrial computer, touchscreen operation, guarded enclosure, and welded structural base, this unit is designed for routine production use. Recorded test results can be uploaded to a database and connected to MES for real-time monitoring and retrieval, helping production teams maintain traceable measurement and sorting records under demanding operating conditions.

Key Features

• Integrated Barcode-to-Result Traceability: The equipment scans each prismatic battery before electrical testing, associating the cell identity with its voltage and internal-resistance result. Measurement data are recorded by the tester to the industrial control computer and can be uploaded to a database.

• 8+1 Process-Directed Sorting: After testing, the conveyor transfers the cell to the sorting position, where a motion sorting manipulator places it into the applicable one of eight process grades plus one additional grade. Grade assignment is executed from PC instructions to support defined production grouping logic.

• OCV and Internal-Resistance Inspection: This system performs voltage and internal-resistance testing as part of the automated handling sequence. It supports product testing without requiring positive and negative terminal differentiation, simplifying the inspection flow for applicable cells.

• High-Resolution Voltage Measurement: Voltage measurement resolution is 0.1 mV. The measurement instrument provides a 20 V voltage range with accuracy of ±0.01%rdg.±3dgt, supporting fine discrimination where voltage-based sorting criteria are important.

• Dual Resistance Measurement Ranges: The measurement instrument provides 3Ω and 30mΩ resistance ranges with accuracy of ±0.5%rdg.±5dgt. This provides the specified measurement capability for resistance-based grading and matching processes.

• Production-Oriented Throughput: Rated capacity is ≥20 PPM, with actual output influenced by operator loading proficiency. The automatic sequence begins when an operator places a battery on the cell loading belt, enabling a practical operator-to-automation workflow.

• MES and Database Connectivity: Test records can be uploaded to a database, and the equipment can connect with MES for real-time monitoring and data retrieval. This supports manufacturing teams that need inspection data available beyond the local station.

• Guarded Structural Construction: The load-bearing base frame uses welded square-tube construction. The upper sealed frame uses aluminum-alloy profiles with acrylic sealing, combining a rigid support structure with an enclosed upper working area.

• Independent Industrial Control Interface: Each unit is equipped with an independently operated industrial control computer and touchscreen. The interface is intended to keep operation straightforward and maintenance convenient while retaining PC-based grade-setting capability.

• Defined Maintenance Requirement: Probe replacement is recommended once per month. Establishing this recurring maintenance action helps preserve the intended electrical contact condition for repeatable voltage and internal-resistance inspection.

Why Choose This Product

• Integrated inspection architecture: Barcode scanning, electrical testing, result recording, data upload, conveying, and multi-grade sorting are coordinated in a single equipment sequence, reducing the need to manage these process steps as separate manual activities.

• Measurement capability for controlled sorting: A 0.1mV voltage resolution, 20V voltage range, and specified 3Ω and 30mΩ resistance ranges provide the reference-backed electrical measurement capability needed to support configured process grades.

• Production-focused availability targets: The specified ≥20PPM capacity and ≥95% equipment utilization rate address the operational priorities of manufacturing teams, while the stated 99.5% product yield is specifically defined for scrap caused by equipment reasons.

• Industrial construction and maintainable operation: A welded square-tube base, aluminum-alloy upper frame, acrylic sealing, industrial control computer, touchscreen, and recommended monthly probe replacement support a disciplined approach to routine production operation and maintenance.

• Connected process control: Database upload and MES connectivity support real-time monitoring and retrieval, while PC-adjustable grade settings allow the station to align with different voltage and internal-resistance detection and matching requirements.
