What is the 10-Channel Prismatic Automatic Battery Cell Sorting Machine?

The 10-Channel Prismatic Automatic Battery Cell Sorting Machine is an automated piece of equipment designed for sorting prismatic lithium battery cells. It’s an essential tool in the manufacturing of lithium batteries, particularly for industries requiring precision sorting based on internal resistance and voltage measurements. This machine allows for the efficient and automated categorization of battery cells into multiple grades, ensuring the quality of battery packs by eliminating defective cells.

Key Parts:

1. Internal Resistance Tester: The machine is equipped with an advanced internal resistance tester, which measures the internal resistance of each prismatic battery cell. This ensures precise sorting based on performance.

2. Voltage Measurement System: Each battery cell is also tested for voltage to ensure it meets the required standards for the specific application.

3. Sorting Channels: The cell sorting machine operates with 10 channels (9 OK, 1 NG), automatically diverting cells to different channels based on internal resistance and voltage measurements. This results in an efficient and reliable sorting process.

4. Scan & Data Storage Function: The machine features a barcode scanning system and stores test data for future reference, enhancing traceability and quality control.

5. Control System: The sorter is controlled by a host computer system with software to configure the test parameters, monitor battery cell conditions, and manage sorting operations.

   
   

How to Use It:

Using the 10-Channel Prismatic Automatic Battery Cell Sorting Machine is straightforward:

1. Load the Battery Cells: Place the prismatic battery cells on the input conveyor or tray.

2. Set Parameters: Use the intuitive software interface to set the acceptable internal resistance and voltage ranges for the battery cell test.

3. Run the Sorting Process: Once parameters are set, the machine automatically tests each battery cell's internal resistance and voltage.

4. Automatic Sorting: Based on the test results, the cell sorting machine directs each battery cell to the appropriate output channel—either the "OK" channels for passing cells or the "NG" channel for faulty cells.

5. Data Storage: After the sorting process, the machine stores detailed test data, including the internal resistance and voltage for each battery cell, which can be accessed later for quality control or reporting.

   
   

Automated Process Flow:

1. Battery Cell Insertion: Battery cells are placed on the feeding conveyor.

2. Testing: The machine automatically measures the internal resistance and voltage of each battery cell.

3. Sorting: Based on test results, battery cells are directed to one of the 10 channels (9 for good quality cells, 1 for faulty ones).

4. Data Recording: Test results are recorded and stored for future access.

5. Exit: The sorted battery cells exit through separate channels for further processing or packaging.

   
   

Benefits:

1. Increased Efficiency: Automates the entire sorting process, reducing manual labor and increasing production speed.

2. Improved Accuracy: High-precision testing of internal resistance (accuracy of 0.5% and a resolution of 0.1mΩ) and voltage (accuracy of ±0.015% and a resolution of 0.1mV) ensures the best quality cells are selected.

3. High Throughput: Capable of handling up to 8-12 PPM, making it ideal for large-scale battery cell production.

4. Data Storage: The integrated scanning and data storage function ensures full traceability of battery cell performance data, which is critical for quality control and compliance.

5. Versatile Compatibility: Supports a wide range of prismatic battery cell sizes (60-260mm in length, 20-60mm in thickness, 100-220mm in height), making it suitable for various applications in the battery industry.

   
   

Important Considerations:

1. Power Supply: The machine operates on 220V AC, 50Hz with a power consumption of 3.6kW, requiring a stable power supply for optimal performance.

2. Environmental Conditions: The operating environment should be free of pollution and strong electromagnetic interference. The temperature range should be between 0°C to 50°C.

3. Air Supply: A factory air supply of 0.5-1.0 MPa and compressed air of 0.5-0.7 MPa is required for smooth operation.

4. Space Requirements: The machine's dimensions are 1950mm x 1300mm x 1800mm, and it weighs approximately 400kg, so ensure the installation space is adequate.
