Our electrode notching machine is a professional die cutter engineered for lithium battery electrode processing, delivering burr-free (≤15μm) and precise cutting (±0.01mm accuracy) for cathodes/anodes (LFP, NMC, graphite). Compatible with pouch cells, 18650, 21700, and 4680 cylindrical batteries, it suits lab R&D and mass production.
Featuring interchangeable tungsten steel dies, CCD visual alignment, and PLC control, it supports custom notch shapes (U-type/V-type) and adapts to 50-500mm electrode widths. Pneumatic/hydraulic drive options ensure stable operation, even in glove boxes with inert gas for moisture-sensitive materials. It boosts production efficiency while safeguarding battery safety and energy density.
Equipment functions
This machine is mainly used for automatic welding tabs of lithium-ion battery electrodes ;
1.The tab and the electrode are welded, apply protective glue on the front and back .
2.This machine adopts high-end Panasonic PLC control mode to realize the automation of tab coil unloading, cutting, electrode welding, front and back gluing, and rewinding, saving a lot of manpower, greatly reducing the rate of human damage to the electrode during the production process, with high welding efficiency, and realizing upper and lower gluing (2 passes);
3.Electrode welding and tape application, it can be automatically reeled for use in fully automatic winding machines;
4.This machine is a highly automated device in electrode production. This equipment, together with continuous electrode rolling and continuous electrode stripping, constitutes electrode automated production.
5.This machine has cathode and anode upper and lower adhesive tapes, and positive tab adhesive .
6.All electrical faults during the operation of this machine have an alarm prompt function.
