Vertical Cylindrical Battery Grooving Machine

Product Overview

This vertical cylindrical battery grooving machine is designed to perform uniform automatic grooving on cylindrical steel battery shells containing assembled cells, as well as aluminum capacitor shells. Its vertical operating structure supports stable workpiece positioning while helping prevent internal battery spacers from falling out during processing. Adjustable groove dimensions and controlled forming provide repeatable preparation for downstream cell assembly and sealing operations.

The equipment is suitable for cylindrical battery development, capacitor manufacturing, laboratory process validation, and small-batch production. It can process different cylindrical battery formats and can be customized for large cylindrical cells such as 32700 and 4680 designs. The unit is also suitable for grooving aluminum capacitor shells with diameters up to Φ30 mm.

Designed for demanding research and production environments, this system combines a compact footprint with stable dimensional performance. Its PLC touchscreen interface simplifies parameter setting, while the durable grooving tool is rated for more than one million operations. Semi-automatic capacity of 400 EA/H supports efficient, consistent processing without requiring a large production line installation.

Key Features

• Vertical Workpiece Positioning: The upright structure keeps cylindrical shells securely positioned during grooving and reduces the likelihood of battery spacers falling out during operation.

• Adjustable Groove Depth: Groove depth can be adjusted from 1.2 to 2.0 mm, allowing the equipment to accommodate different shell designs and process requirements.

• Stable Groove Dimensions: Groove width is determined according to grooving tool thickness, with an available range of 1.1 to 1.5 mm for controlled shell forming.

• High Processing Precision: Machining precision reaches ±0.1 mm, supporting consistent groove geometry for repeatable battery and capacitor shell preparation.

• Extended Tool Life: The grooving tool is designed for a service life exceeding one million operations, reducing tool replacement frequency and supporting lower maintenance demand.

• PLC Touchscreen Operation: An integrated PLC touchscreen provides straightforward parameter setting and operational control, helping operators manage production tasks efficiently.

• Multi-Format Processing: The machine can groove various cylindrical battery shells and may be customized for large cylindrical formats, including 32700 and 4680 cells.

• Compact Laboratory Footprint: Measuring 420 × 370 × 550 mm, the equipment occupies limited bench or floor space while maintaining the functionality required for battery and capacitor shell processing.

• Efficient Semi-Automatic Output: A rated capacity of 400 EA/H supports practical throughput for pilot production, process development, and repeated laboratory manufacturing workflows.

• Broad Shell Compatibility: In addition to cylindrical steel battery shells, the system is suitable for aluminum capacitor shells with diameters up to Φ30 mm.

Applications

Technical Specifications

The vertical placement method is a key configuration characteristic for this equipment. It supports controlled handling of cylindrical shells during the grooving cycle and is particularly useful when internal battery spacers must remain correctly positioned. The adjustable groove depth range of 1.2～2.0mm and groove width range of 1.1～1.5mm allow the process to be matched to shell construction and grooving tool thickness.

The stated machining precision of ±0.1mm provides a clear performance reference for buyers evaluating groove consistency. This level of dimensional control is important when the groove must support subsequent cell assembly or shell-forming operations. For facilities processing different cylindrical products, the adjustable configuration reduces the need for separate dedicated machines for every shell specification.

With a semi-automatic capacity of 400 EA/H, the unit is positioned for laboratory production, pilot manufacturing, and controlled small-batch output. Its 220v/50Hz electrical requirement and 200W rated power allow straightforward installation in facilities using standard laboratory or workshop power infrastructure. Compressed air between 0.5MPa～0.7MPa is required for operation.

The compact L420xW370x550mm enclosure supports efficient use of limited laboratory and production space. The equipment also provides a tool life exceeding 100万次, helping maintain operational continuity over extended processing cycles. For specialized programs, customization is available for large cylindrical battery formats, including 32700 and 4680 designs.
