Automatic Die Cutting Machine for Lithium-Ion Battery Cathode and Anode Sheets
1.1 Equipment Function Overview:
This equipment is primarily used for the forming of cathode and anode electrode sheets in the stacking process of power lithium-ion batteries (continuous coating process).
The electrode roll is installed onto the unwinding air-expansion shaft of the equipment by AGV or manually. The equipment automatically unwinds the roll, and the web guiding mechanism performs automatic web alignment correction during the unwinding process. The tension control system controls the unwinding tension. Before entering the laser cutting process, a secondary web alignment correction (process correction) is performed. The electrode sheet is then subjected to air knife dust removal, tension control, sheet buffering, CCD defect inspection, and the V-notch punching station uses a hardware mold to punch the V-shaped notch.
After that, the pulling mechanism transports the material to the cutting position to cut into sheets. The sheets are then transported via a conveyor belt to the dimension inspection station. After powder brushing inspection (both sides), defective products are automatically rejected into the NG material box, while qualified products are collected into the finished product material box.

Equipment Dimensions (L×W×H): 9000 × 2500 × 2800 mm
1.4 Equipment Features:
1. Single-roll unwinding mechanism: Each shaft can load a roll with a maximum diameter of 650 mm. The air-expansion shaft adopts a special design to reduce friction between the roll and the shaft, making it labor-saving and time-saving, with quick and easy material changeover. Automatic unwinding is driven by a servo motor and controlled by a program. The unwinding diameter algorithm calculates changes in the roll diameter to determine whether the electrode sheet roll is nearly depleted. When the roll is finished, the machine emits an alarm signal and stops automatically.
2. Pulling mechanism: Uses a patented servo pulling mechanism, pulling accuracy ±0.2 mm.
3. Buffering mechanism: Uses servo + module drive combined with tension buffering to ensure continuous unwinding without stopping during die cutting, improving production efficiency and ensuring pulling accuracy.
4. Electrode sheet cutting knife: Uses a patented cutting mechanism with low dust generation and minimal burrs. The cutting knife position can be adjusted via servo drive according to the sheet size, improving width accuracy of the electrode sheet.
5. Integrated functions: This machine can integrate CCD inspection and powder brushing functions to improve overall utilization rate.
6. Patented dust removal method: Reduces secondary dust contamination and effectively avoids damage to electrode sheets caused by brushing.
7. Laser die-cutting for tabs: Greatly reduces the forming cost of electrode sheets.
8. Automatic cutter avoidance for adhesive tape: When encountering adhesive tape, the cutter automatically avoids it, reducing mold and cutter damage.
9. Neat sheet stacking: Servo punching mode ensures sheet stacking neatness ±1 mm.
10. Dust control by equipment zones: The equipment is equipped with an internal high-efficiency FFU filtration system to ensure that the dust level inside the equipment reaches Class 100,000.
11. MES communication function: Two network ports reserved.
