Battery Spot Welding Machine Detailed Product Description

Product Overview – Double-Side Cylindrical Battery Spot Welder

PPCELL’s double-side cylindrical battery spot welding machine is purpose-built for high-volume series and parallel welding of cylindrical lithium-ion cells in battery pack assembly. Serving the lithium battery industry, this equipment processes 18650, 21700, 26650, 26700, 32700, and 32140 cylindrical cells for EV battery packs, e-bikes, power tools, and energy storage systems. The machine is used in the battery pack assembly process – specifically the cell interconnection stage before module assembly.

The system features a double-side simultaneous welding design that welds both sides of the cell in a single operation. Unlike traditional single-side welders, this approach significantly reduces welding time and ensures balanced heat distribution, minimizing deformation and improving weld consistency.

Key Features

  • Dual-Side Simultaneous Welding – Welds both positive and negative terminals simultaneously, eliminating the need for cell flipping and doubling production efficiency.

  • Fully Electric Operation – Servo motor-driven system eliminates the need for compressed air, avoiding welding inconsistencies caused by unstable air pressure.

  • High-Speed Production – 3600 cells/hour throughput (60 cells/min), maximizing production efficiency for high-volume battery pack assembly lines.

  • Precision Motion System – HIWIN brand guide rail modules deliver ±0.1mm XY axis welding accuracy with high precision, low noise, and smooth movement.

  • Intelligent Alarm & Repair System – Automatic alarm for false welding and poor-quality welds with manual area repair and single-point repair functions.

  • Flexible Programming Options – Supports manual programming and CAD drawing import for rapid welding path programming. Simple to learn – production line workers can operate with minimal training.

  • User-Friendly HMI – High-definition LCD touchscreen with interactive interface for easy operation and parameter adjustment.

  • Advanced Automation Features – Self-developed intelligent systems including energy switching, production counting, welding pin compensation, and manual debugging functions.

  • Through-Type Design – Supports both front-in/front-out and front-in/rear-out configurations for flexible production line integration.

  • Durable Construction – Aluminum alloy frame with imported acrylic protective panels provides full visibility for safe operation.

Optional Upgrades:

  • MES system real-time production statistics

  • Real-time pressure tracking system for weld quality monitoring

  • Multi-pulse or transistor welding power supply options

FAQ 

Q1: What cell formats does this double-side welding machine support?

A: The machine supports 18650, 21700, 26650, 26700, 32700, and 32140 cylindrical cells. Additional formats are available upon request with custom tooling.

Q2: How does double-side welding compare to single-side welding?

A: Double-side welding welds both sides of the cell simultaneously, eliminating cell flipping and reducing welding time by up to 40%. The balanced heat distribution also minimizes deformation compared to single-side welding.

Q3: What is the advantage of servo-driven electric welding over pneumatic welding?

A: Servo-driven systems eliminate welding inconsistencies caused by unstable air pressure, delivering faster welding speed and higher precision. They also require no compressed air connection, reducing facility requirements and operating costs.

Q4: How does the false weld alarm system work?

A: The system automatically detects false welds and poor-quality welds, triggering an alarm. It supports manual area repair and single-point repair functions, allowing operators to quickly fix defective welds without stopping production.

Q5: Can the machine be integrated with MES systems?

A: Yes. Optional MES system integration provides real-time production statistics, enabling full production traceability and quality control.

Q6: What materials can this machine weld?

A: The machine supports steel-nickel plated, copper-nickel plated, and pure nickel materials commonly used in cylindrical battery pack welding.

Q7: What is the typical throughput for battery pack assembly?

A: The machine achieves 3600 cells per hour, making it suitable for high-volume battery pack production lines for EV, e-bike, power tool, and energy storage applications.

Q8: Does the machine support automated production line integration?

A: Yes. The through-type design supports both front-in/front-out and front-in/rear-out configurations for seamless integration into automated battery pack assembly lines.
