Z Type Semi Automatic Battery Electrode Stacking Machine

Product Overview

This semi-automatic system is designed for Z-type stacking of battery-cell electrodes and separator material. It supports the sequential placement of negative and positive electrode sheets while a moving separator swing roller covers each sheet, creating an ordered stacked structure. Foot-pedal control provides direct pneumatic actuation, while a digital counter supports defined stacking quantities during manual cell-build operations.

The equipment is intended for battery cell research, laboratory development, sample preparation, and small-scale electrode-stack fabrication. Its supported electrode size range accommodates a broad selection of laboratory cell formats, and the compact machine footprint helps laboratories position the unit near electrode preparation, assembly, or inspection workstations.

For demanding day-to-day laboratory use, this unit combines a simple operating sequence with accessible adjustment, operation, and maintenance. Regular cleaning of the swing roller and stacking table, lubrication of bearing-slide movement points, and inspection of fasteners help maintain smooth motion and dependable operation over extended use.

Key Features

• Z-Type Electrode Stacking: The system performs Z-type stacking by alternately placing negative and positive electrode sheets and covering each layer with separator material. This sequence supports organized electrode-separator assemblies for battery cell fabrication.

• Foot-Pedal Pneumatic Control: A foot switch controls cylinder movement and the separator swing-roller action. The operator can place and position each electrode sheet before initiating the separator-covering movement.

• Digital Stack Counter: A digital counter enables the operator to set the required stacking quantity before processing begins. This provides a clear reference for completing a defined stack sequence and helps standardize repetitive laboratory work.

• Wide Electrode Compatibility: The stacking table accepts electrode sheets from 20 mm to 200 mm in length and from 20 mm to 200 mm in width, with a maximum thickness of 18 mm. This range supports varied research-scale electrode formats without changing the basic process principle.

• Large Separator Roll Capacity: The separator feed accepts roll material with a 3-inch core and a maximum diameter of phi 200 mm. This capacity supports continuous stacking work without requiring a separator change after every short sequence.

• 300 mm Swing-Roller Travel: The separator swing roller has a 300 mm movement stroke. The controlled travel covers the positioned electrode sheet as the operator progresses through alternating negative and positive electrode layers.

• Compact Laboratory Form Factor: With a machine size of L650 mm W400 mm H700 mm, the unit is suited to laboratories where bench and floor space must be used efficiently. The separate control box can be positioned to support a practical workstation arrangement.

• Straightforward Maintenance Access: Routine care is focused on cleaning the swing roller and stacking table, lubricating moving bearing-slide components, and checking screws, nuts, pins, and related fasteners. These defined maintenance actions support smooth movement and help reduce the risk associated with loose hardware.

Applications

Technical Specifications

Operating Sequence

1. Install the separator material and route it through the swing roller onto the stacking table.
2. Set the required number of stacked layers using the digital counter.
3. Place a negative electrode sheet on the stacking table and position it for stacking.
4. Press the foot valve to actuate the separator swing roller so the separator covers the negative electrode sheet.
5. Place and position a positive electrode sheet on the stacking table.
6. Press the foot valve again so the separator covers the positive electrode sheet.
7. Repeat the alternating negative-electrode and positive-electrode sequence until the set stacking quantity is reached.
8. Manually cut the separator, remove the completed cell stack, and apply terminal tape to complete the assembly.

Routine Care Requirements

The operating method is intentionally direct: the operator controls each separator movement only after placing the relevant electrode sheet. This makes the stack-building sequence easy to observe and manage during research work. The cycle also provides a clear physical distinction between negative-electrode placement, separator coverage, positive-electrode placement, and the next separator coverage.

The equipment requires an AC220V/50Hz electrical supply and a pneumatic source within 0.4MPa to 0.7MPa. Confirm that both utilities are available at the intended installation location before commissioning. The separator roll, electrode dimensions, and electrode thickness should also be checked against the stated limits before a production or research run begins.

For consistent operation, keep the swing roller and stacking table free from contamination, and verify that the roller movement remains smooth. The specified maintenance routine is particularly relevant where the system is used repeatedly for laboratory sample preparation. A planned inspection of fastening components also supports stable mechanical condition throughout ongoing use.

Why Choose This Product

• Purpose-built stacking process: This unit is dedicated to the Z-type electrode and separator layering procedure used in battery cell fabrication, with a defined sequence from separator loading through terminal-tape application.

• Controlled operator workflow: Foot-pedal cylinder control allows the operator to position each electrode sheet before moving the separator swing roller. The digital counter provides a practical reference for completing the intended number of stacked layers.

• Broad research-format coverage: The supported electrode range of 20 mm to 200 mm in both length and width gives laboratories flexibility when preparing different experimental cell formats within the stated thickness limit.

• Practical equipment design: Compact machine dimensions, separate control-box dimensions, and a clearly defined utility requirement support thoughtful integration into laboratory assembly areas.

• Maintainable long-term operation: Cleaning, lubrication, storage, and fastener-inspection requirements are clearly defined, helping laboratory teams maintain smooth movement and dependable working condition.
