S-DP-150 Semi-auto Stacking Machine

Semi-Auto Battery Electrode Stacking Machine for Pouch Cell Assembly

The Semi-Auto Battery Electrode Stacking Machine (S-DP-150) is a high-accuracy Z-fold stacking system designed for laminated battery and supercapacitor electrode assembly. It is intended for research laboratories, pilot-scale battery development, and advanced pouch cell prototyping where repeatable electrode alignment and controlled separator handling are essential. The machine uses a PLC touch-screen interface for process setup and combines manual material loading with automated pick-up, positioning, and stacking functions.

Principle of Operation

In operation, cathode and anode sheets are presented for sequential placement while the separator is continuously unwound and delivered under controlled tension. A vacuum suction manipulator automatically picks up the electrode sheets and places them onto the stacking platform in a continuous Z-fold arrangement. This approach helps maintain layer registration, improves repeatability, and supports the fabrication of laminated pouch-type cells with more consistent geometry prior to electrolyte filling, vacuum sealing, and electrochemical testing.

Key Features and Specifications

Key specifications include a supported battery size range of 80-150 mm length, 30-90 mm width, and 5-20 mm thickness, with tab length and width up to 20 mm. The stated stacking speed is 1.3-1.5 s per piece with registration accuracy of ±0.5 mm. The unit is rated at 4 kW, with overall dimensions of 1250 × 1150 × 1850 mm and a machine weight of 800 kg. Official listings also indicate compatibility with electrode thicknesses of 0.07-0.25 mm and separator thicknesses of 0.02-0.04 mm.

Applications and Research Use

This system is suitable for lithium-ion pouch cell development, laminated supercapacitor assembly, and battery process optimisation in R&D and small pilot environments. It can be integrated conceptually with related battery preparation and testing workflows, including slurry coating, calendaring, vacuum sealing, electrolyte filling, battery cyclers, and electrochemical characterisation platforms.
