Dual-Workstation Automatic Z-Type Stacking Machine for Prismatic Lithium-ion Power Battery Cells





1. Equipment Introduction

1.1 Equipment Overview
This equipment is mainly used for the Z-shaped stacking process of prismatic lithium-ion power battery cells.

 

1.2 Workflow
The separator is actively unwound, routed through the tension control system, and guided onto the stacking platform. The platform then moves the separator back and forth to create the proper alignment for electrode placement. The stacking process commences with the positive and negative electrode sheets: two robotic suction arms retrieve these sheets from their respective left-hand feed boxes, position them with pinpoint accuracy, and stack them onto the platform. Once stacking is complete, the separator is cut to length. A robotic arm transfers the cell to the taping station, where taping is carried out automatically—all while the next cell’s stacking cycle begins without interruption.

 


1.3 Equipment Features

· 1.3.1 Separator: Active unwinding; tension control; deviation correction; static elimination; alignment accuracy ±0.5mm.

· 1.3.2 High precision: Mechanical positioning of electrode sheets ensures total stacking accuracy within ±0.3mm.

· 1.3.3 High efficiency: Single-side stacking speed reaches 1.2s–1.5s/Pcs depending on sheet size.

· 1.3.4 Dust protection: Effective dust protection mechanisms are installed at material box and pre-alignment positions.

· 1.3.5 Reliability: All high-precision and frequently moving modules are fixed with positioning pins.

· 1.3.6 Multi-sheet & missed sheet protection: Equipped with anti-multiple sheet mechanism and detection system to prevent stacking errors.

· 1.3.7 Tab inspection: Prevents inclusion of faulty electrode sheets with bent or missing tabs.

· 1.3.8 Stacked-cell discharge
