MSK-500-AR18650 Automated Floor-Standing Grooving Machine for Batch Processing of 18650 Cylindrical Battery Casings
The MSK-500-AR18650 is engineered to streamline the grooving process of 18650 cylindrical battery cases, a critical step in battery manufacturing that ensures proper sealing and assembly. This machine supports batch processing by automating the sequence of loading, grooving, and unloading, significantly reducing manual labor and increasing throughput.
Its design incorporates a horizontally positioned grooving blade that delivers stable and precise cuts. The system compensates for axial deformation of the cylindrical casing, ensuring consistent groove quality. Operators can monitor and adjust settings easily via a user-friendly PLC touchscreen interface housed within a floor-standing enclosure featuring transparent, openable windows for clear process visibility.
Wichtigste Merkmale
- Automated batch loading and unloading with a material feeding conveyor supporting up to 22 cases per batch.
- Micrometer-assisted grooving depth (1–2.0 mm) and height adjustment for precise groove dimensions.
- Grooving blade positioned horizontally for enhanced stability and accuracy with ±0.1 mm tolerance.
- Capability to compensate for axial deformation in cylindrical battery cases.
- PLC touchscreen control for intuitive operation and program setup.
- Floor-standing design with transparent front and side windows for process monitoring and easy access.
- CE certified for compliance with safety and quality standards.

Typische Anwendungsbereiche
This machine is ideal for battery manufacturers and research facilities requiring high-precision grooving of 18650 cylindrical battery cases in batch mode. It supports production lines focused on lithium-ion battery assembly where groove accuracy and repeatability are critical for sealing and safety.
Custom grooving dies can be requested for other cylindrical cell sizes, enabling flexible adaptation to various battery formats.
Configuration and Operating Notes
The machine requires an external air compressor or regulated gas cylinder supplying 0.5 to 0.8 MPa air pressure for operation. When using a gas cylinder, a two-stage pressure regulator must be installed to maintain safe pressure levels.
An optional slurry stainless steel reservoir and feeding pump can be integrated to apply an insulation coating on the groove neck, enhancing sealing quality and preventing electrolyte leakage caused by gasket aging.
After grooving, sealing of the cylindrical case cap should be performed using a compatible sealing machine such as the MSK-510-AR18650 to ensure proper closure.
