MQ-400 Semi-Automatic Electrode Die Cutter Machine for Pouch Cell

Precision Electrode Die Cutting for Pouch Cell Production

The MQ-400 semi-automatic electrode die cutter is designed for shaping coated cathode and anode sheets for stacking-type pouch cells. It uses a matched die-and-press cutting mechanism, driven by a pneumatic cylinder, to punch electrode sheets into consistent geometries with current collector tabs. This helps researchers and battery engineers achieve cleaner edges, lower burr formation, and better dimensional repeatability during pouch cell fabrication.

How the System Works

In operation, the electrode sheet is manually positioned at the cutting area and the press cycle is initiated using a dual-start safety control. The built-in safety curtain protects the operator during front feeding, while the pneumatic cutting force enables uniform punching across larger electrode formats. This makes the TOB-MQ-400 well suited to pilot-scale battery R&D and pre-production environments where repeatable electrode shape and tab alignment are important.

Compatibility and Applications

This electrode die cutter is suitable for coated battery electrode sheets on aluminium or copper current collectors used in lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and related pouch cell research workflows. It fits naturally into broader electrode manufacturing and battery assembly lines alongside slurry preparation, coating, drying, calendering, stacking, sealing, and downstream battery testing. It can also complement other ScienceGears categories such as battery cyclers, electrochemical instrumentation, potentiostats, and advanced characterisation tools.
