Cell Lab Benchtop Semi-Auto Battery Grooving Machine [For Cylindrical Cell Case Forming | Adjustable Groove Depth & Width]

Cell Lab Benchtop Semi-Auto Battery Grooving Machine [For Cylindrical Cell Case Forming | Adjustable Groove Depth & Width]

Precision semi-automatic grooving system for cylindrical lithium-ion battery case forming

The Cell Lab Benchtop Semi-Auto Battery Grooving Machine is engineered for precise and repeatable formation of rolling grooves on cylindrical steel or aluminium battery cases, ensuring tight sealing and uniform mechanical strength. Suitable for multiple cell formats—including CR123, 18650, 26650, 32650 and 21700—this compact semi-automatic system enables accurate depth and width adjustment for reliable results in laboratory and pilot-scale production.

Key Features

• Wide Cell Format Compatibility:
  Supports CR123, 18650, 26650, 32650, and 21700 formats via interchangeable grooving dies (customisable).

• Adjustable Groove Dimensions:
  Rolling groove depth 1.2–2.0 mm and width 1.1–1.5 mm can be finely tuned according to die and material requirements.

• High Precision Performance:
  Delivers grooving accuracy up to ±0.1 mm for consistent case geometry and sealing performance.

• Semi-Automatic Operation:
  Manual-assisted process achieves up to 400 cells per hour, ideal for laboratory or small-batch production.

• Compact and Stable Design:
  Benchtop layout with integrated compressed-air system (0.5–0.7 MPa) ensures smooth, vibration-free operation.
