Cell Lab Three-in-One Battery Edge Trimming, Folding & Heating System [Precision Polymer Pouch Cell Processing]

Cell Lab Three-in-One Battery Edge Trimming, Folding & Heating System [Precision Polymer Pouch Cell Processing]

Integrated edge trimming, folding and thermal forming in one automated workstation

The Cell Lab™ Three-in-One Battery Edge Trimming, Folding & Heating System provides an all-in-one solution for high-precision processing of polymer lithium pouch cells. Combining cutting, folding and heat-forming in a single automated flow, this unit ensures clean edge finish, consistent folds and uniform thermal sealing.

Batteries are automatically conveyed through three synchronised processing zones—edge trimming, folding & heating, and finished-cell discharge—enabling seamless integration into pilot or small-scale production lines. The robust structure, fine-tuned mechanics and programmable control deliver excellent repeatability, high throughput and contamination-free results for R&D and quality-critical cell manufacturing.

Key Features

• Three-in-One Integrated Operation
Performs trimming, edge folding and thermal sealing sequentially under automated control, reducing manual handling and improving production efficiency.

• Precision Cutting Mechanism
Utilises a high-precision circular blade (HRC ≥ 58°) with cutting accuracy of ±0.10 mm and knife parallelism ≤ 0.05 mm for clean, burr-free edges.

• Controlled Heating and Forming
Adjustable heating range from RT to 200 °C with copper die parallelism ≤ 0.1 mm ensures stable sealing and uniform folding quality.

• Flexible Battery Compatibility
Supports polymer lithium battery dimensions from L 15–300 mm, W 12–250 mm and T 3–12 mm, accommodating a broad range of R&D and prototype cell formats.

• Advanced Safety & Reliability
Features automatic interlocks, overload protection and precision alignment systems to guarantee operational stability and user safety.

FAQ

Q1: What advantages does a three-in-one system offer over separate machines?
A1: It integrates trimming, folding and heating into a continuous automated cycle, improving alignment precision and reducing process time.

Q2: Can it handle varying pouch thicknesses?
A2: Yes. Adjustable tooling accommodates thicknesses from 3 mm to 12 mm with stable fold consistency.

Q3: How long does the blade last before replacement?
A3: Each blade endures up to 1 million cycles with routine sharpening.

Q4: Is heating temperature programmable?
A4: Yes — the PID-controlled heating range is adjustable between room temperature and 200 °C.

Q5: Can the system be integrated into a full production line?
A5: Absolutely. It supports automated conveying interfaces for continuous pouch cell processing and in-line QC systems.
