BDP200-C Automatic Battery Stacking Machine

Automatic Battery Stacking Machine for Pouch Cell Research

This battery stacking machine is designed for Z-type stacking of cathode sheets, anode sheets and separator film during pouch cell assembly. Publicly available product information for the BDP200-C model consistently describes it as a semi-automatic or automatic-assist stacking platform that combines manual material loading with automated positioning, separator handling and robotic pick-and-place stacking. It is intended for lithium-ion pouch cell development, prototyping and small-batch laboratory-scale production.

Working Principle and Operation

The system uses a Z-fold stacking method in which the separator is unwound under controlled tension while electrode sheets are placed sequentially to build a laminated cell stack. The machine architecture includes automatic separator tension control, photoelectric correction for separator alignment, robotic handling of stacking materials, and programmable layer-count control. This improves repeatability compared with manual stacking and helps reduce alignment error during multilayer pouch cell fabrication. Reported stacking accuracy is up to uniformity ≤ ±0.3 mm, with up to 500 layers configurable depending on the cell design.

Applications and Compatibility

This instrument is well suited to lithium-ion pouch cell R&D, electrode stacking studies, solid-state and next-generation battery prototyping, and process development workflows that also involve slurry mixers, coaters, rollers, die cutters, tab welders and pouch cell sealing systems. Related ScienceGears categories such as battery cyclers, potentiostats and electrochemical test systems can support downstream formation, cycling and characterisation. The manufacturer and reseller listings show some differences in reported footprint and weight, so final installed dimensions should be confirmed at quotation stage for the exact configured unit.
