automatic sorting machine

What factors should be considered when purchasing an automatic sorting machine for prismatic aluminum shell batteries?

When purchasing an automatic sorting machine for diamond-shaped aluminum shell batteries, the following factors need to be considered:

Equipment performance

Measurement accuracy: High-precision measurement is the basis for ensuring sorting quality. It is necessary to pay attention to the measurement accuracy of the equipment for key parameters such as battery cell internal resistance, voltage, and capacity.

Sorting efficiency: According to the production scale and capacity requirements, select equipment with appropriate sorting speed.

Sorting gear: The sorting gear of the equipment should be able to meet the production process and quality control requirements. Generally, multi-level sorting can be achieved. The more gears, the finer the distinction of battery cell performance.

Equipment quality

Sensor quality: High-quality sensors can ensure the accuracy and stability of measurement data. It is necessary to understand the brand, model and performance parameters of the sensor. For example, the use of a four-wire resistance measurement sensor can reduce contact resistance interference.

Control system stability: The control system is the core of the equipment. It is necessary to examine whether it uses a reliable programmable logic controller (PLC) or industrial computer (IPC), and whether it has complete fault diagnosis and alarm functions.

Mechanical structure reliability: The mechanical structure of the equipment should be sturdy and durable to ensure the precise positioning and long-term stable operation of the sorting actuator.

Compatibility and adaptability

Battery cell specification compatibility: Ensure that the equipment is compatible with diamond-shaped aluminum shell batteries of different sizes and models to meet the production needs of various products.

Process adaptability: The equipment should be able to adapt to different production processes and procedures, such as good connection with the battery cell's chemical composition, capacity, assembly and other processes to achieve the continuity of automated production.

Operation and maintenance

Operation convenience: The equipment operation should be simple and easy to understand, with a friendly human-machine interface, which is convenient for operators to set parameters, debug equipment and perform daily operations, and reduce the professional skills requirements for operators.

Maintenance cost and difficulty: Understand the maintenance requirements of the equipment, including the replacement cycle and cost of wearing parts, as well as the difficulty and workload of equipment cleaning, lubrication, calibration and other maintenance work. Choose equipment with low maintenance cost and easy maintenance, which can reduce the long-term operation cost and downtime of the equipment.

Data management and traceability

Data recording function: The equipment should have a complete data recording function, which can record the measurement data, sorting results and related production information of each battery cell for quality traceability and data analysis.

Data transmission and interface: Consider the data transmission method and interface of the equipment, such as whether it supports network communication with the enterprise's production management system (MES) or other equipment, to achieve data sharing and centralized management, and facilitate the monitoring and optimization of the production process.

Safety and environmental protection

Safety performance: The equipment should be equipped with complete safety protection devices, such as emergency stop button, protective door switch, leakage protection, etc., to prevent accidents to operators and ensure the safety of the production process.

Environmental protection requirements: The equipment should comply with relevant environmental protection standards and requirements, such as regulations on noise, dust, waste disposal, etc., to reduce the impact on the environment and achieve green production.

After-sales service guarantee: High-quality after-sales service is an important guarantee for the normal operation of the equipment. It is necessary to examine the supplier's after-sales service system, including the scale and professional level of the after-sales service team, response time, maintenance cycle, spare parts supply, etc., to ensure that the equipment can be repaired and replaced in time when a failure occurs.

Price and cost

Equipment price: Under the premise of meeting production needs and quality requirements, compare the equipment prices of different suppliers and choose products with high cost performance. At the same time, pay attention to whether the equipment price includes installation and commissioning, training, after-sales service and other costs to avoid additional expenses in the later stage.

Operation cost: Consider the operation cost of the equipment, including energy consumption, consumables, maintenance and maintenance costs, etc. For example, equipment with energy-saving design can reduce energy consumption costs; equipment with easy maintenance and long consumable replacement cycle can reduce maintenance costs and consumables costs.
