Gone are the days of relying on your most dexterous scientist or technician to properly align single layer pouch cells. Variant Energy's single layer pouch cell stacking unit takes the skill out of assembling pouch cells by hand. Relying on the kinematic locating features of Variant's single layer cell platform design, the anode and cathode are precisely placed in the same location every single time. Using vacuum pickup platens to gently handle electrodes, the fool-proof process reduces operator training time, increases the number of cells built per shift without increasing headcount, and most importantly improves cell-to-cell repeatability by removing the chance of misaligned electrodes. Features Kinematic locating pins for precise and repeatable electrode alignment Vacuum pickup tool for gentle handing of electrodes Stack directly onto heat sealing jig for easy process flow No electricity or vacuum pump needed, only compressed air Compatible with glovebox use Specifications Positional Accuracy +/- 0.2 mm Contact Materials Closed-cell PU foam, anodized aluminum Gas Supply Clean dry air/Ar/N2, >0.4 MPa, >30 LPM Dimensions 450(W) x 250(D) x 120(H) mm Weight 7 kg
