ARY29-960-10A-12-2T (AM) Semi-Automatic Thermal Press Fixture Formation Line for Pouch Lithium-Ion Battery Manufacturing

This advanced semi-automatic thermal pressing formation line is engineered specifically for the precise and efficient manufacturing of pouch lithium-ion batteries. Designed with a focus on intelligent temperature regulation, uniform pressure application, and high-precision testing capabilities, it delivers consistent battery performance while optimizing production throughput and energy efficiency. Ideal for both R&D environments and mass production facilities, this system supports the development of next-generation high-nickel ternary cells, ultra-thin battery configurations, and customized formation processes tailored to modern energy storage needs.

Key Functional Features

The ARY29-960-10A-12-2T combines smart thermal control, accurate electrical measurements, and automated workflow integration to ensure reliable Battery Formation. Its dynamic pressure mechanism ranges from 100kg.f to 2000kg.f with a precision tolerance of ±2% when above 1000kg.f—ideal for handling cell thicknesses between 5mm and 13mm. This ensures even stress distribution during formation, critical for SEI layer stability in high-performance lithium-ion cells. The optimized heating system employs aluminum plate-integrated resistive wires that reach up to 90°C with interlayer variance no greater than ±2°C, enabling rapid stabilization within 30 minutes at 60°C—a key factor in improving cycle life and capacity consistency.

For safety, dual protection mechanisms are built-in: automatic shutdown upon overheating and real-time smoke detection with response times under one second. These safeguards make the equipment suitable for continuous operation in industrial settings where process reliability is paramount. In terms of electrochemical testing, the unit offers a wide current range (10mA–10A), voltage accuracy of ±0.1% FS, and current precision also at ±0.1% FS, making it ideal for evaluating fast-charging applications and battery chemistry innovations. A four-wire measurement method minimizes contact resistance to less than 1mΩ, enhancing data fidelity during charge-discharge cycles.

Energy regeneration technology further sets this system apart by achieving over 70% charging efficiency and more than 60% discharging efficiency—resulting in significant cost savings compared to traditional systems. With annual electricity consumption reduced by up to 30%, manufacturers benefit from lower operational expenses without compromising output quality or productivity.

Automation plays a vital role in streamlining production. An overhead crane handles material movement across 960 channels simultaneously, enabling daily outputs of 4800 units per line. Integrated machine vision inspection detects tab misalignment with sub-millimeter accuracy (≤0.2mm), identifying defects such as reversed polarity or short circuits in real time. Compatibility with MES platforms allows seamless upload of over 20 real-time parameters, ensuring full traceability throughout the manufacturing lifecycle—from raw materials to final product certification.

Application Scenarios

This formation line excels in several specialized use cases. It is widely adopted in the mass production of high-nickel cathode pouch batteries, where elevated temperatures and controlled pressures enhance SEI film quality, leading to improved long-term stability. For research and development teams, the system enables non-reversible pressure simulation to validate new cell designs before scaling. It also accommodates ultra-thin (as low as 5mm) and thick (up to 13mm) cell formats, offering flexibility for emerging battery architectures like flexible or solid-state prototypes. Additionally, it supports consistency improvement projects through correlation analysis of pressure, temperature, and capacity variables—helping engineers fine-tune formation recipes for optimal yield and performance.

User Feedback

Operators across Europe, North America, and Southeast Asia have praised the system's intuitive interface, robust build quality, and minimal downtime. One senior engineer noted, “The combination of precise thermal control and real-time diagnostics has significantly reduced our formation batch failures.” Another user highlighted how the energy recovery feature lowered their facility’s power costs by nearly a third within six months of deployment. Many appreciate the modular design that allows easy upgrades and integration into existing production lines without major reconfiguration.
