Automatic Lithium Battery Cathode Electrode Making Machine

Precision electrode preparation for lithium-ion battery production

The Automatic Lithium Battery Cathode Electrode Making Machine is a specialised roll-to-roll processing system designed for preparing finished cathode electrodes for lithium-ion battery manufacturing. It combines controlled unwinding, tension management, deviation correction, ultrasonic tab welding, protective tape application, dust removal, traction, and finished-electrode rewinding in a single automated workflow. In practice, the machine uses the coating start position on the electrode as a reference point for tab placement, helping maintain consistent welding and tape alignment during continuous production.

Working principle and key performance features

The system is intended for electrode stock with thickness from 90 to 250 μm and widths from 40 to 130 mm, with single-electrode lengths from 300 to 2000 mm. It supports tab widths of 3, 4, 5, and 6 mm, protective tape widths of 6 to 20 mm, tab lengths of 30 to 80 mm, and exposed tab lengths of 10 to 25 mm. Reported positioning accuracy for tab tape and tab welding is ±0.5 mm, while the equipment is specified for speeds of about 20 pieces per minute or higher, depending on electrode format and process settings. The machine also incorporates brush-assisted dust removal during rewinding and a servo-controlled transport architecture for stable handling of coated electrodes.

Why this system matters in battery R&D and pilot production

Reliable tab welding and insulation tape placement are essential for downstream pouch-cell assembly, winding, stacking, and electrochemical testing. By reducing manual variability, this machine helps improve electrode consistency, streamline pilot-line throughput, and support repeatable battery research workflows. It is well suited to laboratories, scale-up facilities, and battery manufacturers working on lithium-ion cell development. Researchers can integrate it alongside related equipment such as slurry mixers, coating machines, roller press systems, slitting tools, winding or stacking platforms, and battery cyclers to build a more complete electrode-to-cell workflow.
