Semi Automatic Electrode Laser Cutting Machine

Product Overview

This semi automatic electrode laser cutting machine is designed to cut the outer profiles of power lithium ion battery electrodes with controlled positioning, automated transfer, and stable laser processing. An operator places the electrode sheet on the positioning platform, activates the cycle, and removes the finished electrode after cutting. Vacuum adsorption keeps the incoming material flat and secure throughout the process.

The system is intended for small pilot production lines, laboratory-scale battery development, and process validation. It supports electrode materials from 50 mm to 300 mm, including tabs, and handles incoming thicknesses from 60-250um. The compact footprint, straightforward operation, and lower investment requirement make the equipment practical for battery R&D teams and small-batch manufacturing.

A protected cutting area, independent dust collection box, stable continuous fiber laser, and servo-driven precision screw transmission support clean processing and repeatable results. With a product qualification rate of ≥99.5 % and equipment operating rate of ≥95%, the unit is built for dependable operation in demanding development and pilot-line environments.

Key Features

• Semi Automatic Operating Workflow: Operators load and unload electrodes manually while the vacuum platform, mechanical transfer, and laser cutting sequence perform the core processing steps automatically. This arrangement reduces repetitive handling while retaining flexible human control.

• High Precision Electrode Positioning: A servo motor drives the mechanical arm through a high-precision screw transmission system. The design supports fast, accurate movement between the manual loading position and the laser cutting position.

• Stable Fiber Laser Processing: The high-speed continuous fiber laser provides laser power stability below 2%, helping maintain consistent cutting performance across repeated electrode batches.

• High Speed Cutting: Laser cutting speed reaches ≥200mm/s, supporting efficient preparation of electrode profiles during pilot production, experimental iteration, and small-batch process development.

• Clean Protected Cutting Zone: The laser cutting area includes dust protection, while an independent dust collection box concentrates cutting dust for recovery. This helps prevent particulate contamination on the electrode surface.

• Simple Graphical Software: The graphical user interface is designed for straightforward operation and includes dynamic simulation. Operators can adjust relevant parameters to support rapid product changeover without complex programming.

• Compact Pilot Line Configuration: The equipment is suitable for small experimental lines and occupies approximately 1200×1200×1700 (主体) of floor space. Its compact configuration helps laboratories use available production and research areas efficiently.

• Controlled Thermal and Material Effects: The specified heat affected zone is ≤120um, dissolved bead size is ≤10um, and metal leakage is ≤50um. These controls help preserve the intended electrode profile and support consistent downstream assembly.

Applications

Technical Specifications

The incoming material range accommodates both compact laboratory electrodes and larger pilot-line sheets. Because the maximum and minimum sizes include tabs, process planning can account for the complete electrode outline rather than the active material area alone. The stated incoming dimensional accuracy is ±1mm, while finished electrode dimensional accuracy is specified at ±0.2mm, giving engineering teams a clear distinction between material input condition and cutting result.

The motion sequence is organized around a defined operator interface. After the electrode is placed on the positioning platform, vacuum adsorption holds it steadily. When the operator starts the cycle, the mechanical arm transfers the material to the laser cutting position. Once the required profile has been cut, the arm returns the electrode to the manual station for removal. This workflow helps maintain consistent positioning while keeping loading and unloading accessible to operators.

For pilot environments, utility requirements are clearly defined: AC380V±5%,三相50Hz electrical power and compressed air at 0.5-0.6Mpa. The equipment is designed for an ambient temperature range of 0-50 C°. Noise is limited to ≤75 db when measured 1M from the machine, supporting installation in controlled laboratory and production areas when appropriate site requirements are met.

The dust protection arrangement is particularly relevant to electrode processing. Laser cutting can generate particulate material, and the protected cutting zone with independent collection box directs dust into a concentrated recovery area. This configuration is intended to help keep the electrode surface cleaner during processing and reduce the risk of dust spreading around the work area.
