Automatic Pouch Cell Laser Die Cutter for Battery Electrode

Equipment Introduction

1.1 Overview of device functions

  This equipment is mainly used for the forming of positive and negative electrode plates in the stacking process of power batteries (continuous coating process).

AGV/manual installation of electrode coils on the unwinding inflatable shaft of the equipment, automatic unwinding of the equipment, automatic correction of the unwinding process by the correction mechanism, and control of the unwinding tension through the tension control system. Before entering the laser cutting, secondary correction (process correction) is carried out, electrode blade dust removal, tension control, electrode buffer, CCD defect detection, and the punching station uses hardware molds to punch V-angles, Then, the material is pulled to the cutting position through the pulling mechanism and cut into pieces. It is transported to the size inspection through a conveyor belt. After powder brushing inspection (on both sides), defective products are automatically removed into the NG material box, and qualified products are collected into the finished product box.

1.4  Equipment characteristics

1) Single roll feeding mechanism: Each shaft can be fed with a maximum diameter of 700mm. The pneumatic expansion shaft adopts a special design to reduce the friction between the coil and the pneumatic expansion shaft, saving labor and time, and making material replacement convenient and fast; The automatic unwinding is driven by a servo motor, and the program controls the automatic unwinding. The size change of the pole piece coil is calculated through the coil diameter algorithm to determine whether the pole piece is about to be used up. When the coil is used up, the machine sends an alarm signal and automatically stops.

2) Pulling mechanism: The patented servo pulling mechanism is used, with a pulling accuracy of ± 0.2mm.

3) Material storage mechanism: Adopting servo+module drive and tension coordinated buffer, it can ensure continuous uncoiling during die-cutting, improve production efficiency, and ensure material drawing accuracy.

4) Pole cutting knife: adopts a patented cutting mechanism, with small powder loss and burrs. In addition, the device can adjust the positioning of the cutting tool based on the size of the electrode through servo drive, improving the width accuracy of the electrode.

5) Integrated function: This machine can integrate CCD detection and electrode powder brushing functions to improve the utilization rate of the entire machine.

6) Patent dust removal method: reduces secondary pollution of dust and effectively avoids damage to the electrode by brushing powder.

7) Laser die-cutting of electrode ears: greatly reducing the forming cost of electrode plates.

8) When encountering tape die-cutting and cutting knives, automatic avoidance is used to reduce damage to the molds and cutting knives caused by tape.

9) Material receiving uniformity: In polar servo feeding mode, the material receiving uniformity is ± 1.

10) Control dust in different areas of the equipment, increase the efficient FFU filtration system inside the equipment, and make the dust inside the equipment reach 100000 levels.

11) Two network ports are reserved for MES communication function.
