An automatic cylindrical battery sorting machine is an automated device used for voltage and internal resistance testing and sorting of cylindrical cells. It features modular design, high precision, and high reliability.
Definition and Characteristics
The cylindrical battery sorting machine is specifically designed for cylindrical cells, with core functions including automated testing and sorting of voltage and internal resistance. Its electrical control section adopts a modular design with high integration and strong versatility, making maintenance easier. The main actuating mechanisms are driven by servo motors to ensure sorting accuracy and operational reliability.
Compatible Battery Models and Quick Changeover
The equipment supports quick model changeover in about 5 minutes. By replacing tooling, it can accommodate various cylindrical cells, including but not limited to 18650, 26650, 21700, 32650, 32700, and 32140. This flexibility allows it to meet production needs for different battery specifications.
Typical Application Scenarios
The machine is mainly used for quality inspection, grade matching, and rapid distribution testing in large-scale battery production. It is suitable for:
Electric vehicle battery packs
Street lamp battery packs
Automotive battery modules
Battery packs for balance scooters and electric skateboards
Power banks and starter battery modules
Lithium battery sorting for consumer electronics such as drone batteries and power tool battery packs
Process Flow and Functional Implementation
The equipment sets battery internal resistance, voltage, and other parameters through upper computer software. The PLC controls the following automated flow:
Manual loading: The operator places the batteries to be tested into the machine.
Lateral feeding by cylinder: A cylinder pushes the batteries into the conveying system.
Belt conveying: The belt carries the batteries to the testing station, with optional inkjet coding.
Testing and sorting cylinder: The tester uploads data to the software, and the system automatically sorts according to parameters.
Robotic gripper sorting: A mechanical gripper places the sorted batteries into corresponding categories.
The equipment is equipped with an audible and visual alarm system, supporting automatic stop after sorting completion, full-bin alarm, and fault alarm. Operating parameters can be customized according to customer requirements.
For non-standard mechanical grippers, sorting fixtures, custom conveying components, or quick-change tooling used in these cylindrical battery sorting machines, Hansheng Automation provides precision machining services based on customer drawings and required tolerances, helping maintain stable battery handling and repeatable sorting accuracy.
Core Advantages
High efficiency: The automated process significantly improves sorting efficiency and is suitable for large-scale production.
High precision: Servo motor control and high-precision testers ensure reliable sorting results.
Flexibility: Quick changeover design supports compatibility with multiple battery models and reduces equipment idle time.
Intelligence: Adjustable software parameters meet different sorting standards and requirements.
