Battery cell canning equipment Product Overview:

The Manual Prismatic Battery Canning Machine is a specialized workstation for inserting prismatic (pouch) battery cells into rigid aluminum cases – a critical assembly step in prismatic battery manufacturing. This manual-loading solution provides a practical and cost-effective alternative to fully automated canning systems, offering flexibility and control for R&D, pilot production, and small-batch manufacturing.

The machine integrates five key functional modules to support precise and damage-free cell insertion:

ModuleFunction
Aluminum Case PositioningDedicated positioning mechanism for consistent case placement
Cell PositioningDedicated positioning mechanism for accurate cell alignment
Soft Polyurethane RollersGentle cell handling and positioning without damage
Shell Expansion SystemCase opening expansion before insertion via adsorption mechanism
Manual Assist HandleManual intervention for incomplete insertion

The system is built around a modular motion positioning framework, with adjustable parameters (via touchscreen) to accommodate different cell sizes within the specified range. The design prioritizes aluminum case protection – ensuring no damage or scratching occurs during the entire canning process.

Process:

  1. Manual Aluminum Case Loading: Operator manually places the aluminum case onto the dedicated positioning mechanism.

  2. Manual Cell Loading: Operator manually places the prismatic battery cell onto the dedicated cell positioning mechanism.

  3. Shell Expansion: The case adsorption mechanism expands the aluminum case opening before cell insertion, creating the necessary entry condition.

  4. Controlled Insertion: The cell is guided into the expanded case opening using the positioning mechanisms. Soft polyurethane rollers provide positioning support and gentle contact during the insertion process.
  5. Modular Motion Positioning: The aluminum case positioning and transfer mechanism uses modular motion to set required positions. Operators can adjust motion data via touchscreen to match current tooling and cell specifications.

  6. Insertion Completion: The cell is inserted to the final position within the aluminum case.

  7. Manual Assist (if needed): If the cell does not reach the final position during insertion, the operator can use the manual pressing handle to push the cell into place and complete the canning process.

  8. Unloading: The finished canned cell assembly is removed for the next manufacturing step.
