MSK-4680 Compact Manual Disassembling Machine for Cylindrical Battery Cases Including 18650, 21700, 26650, 4680, and 46110
The MSK-4680 is engineered to facilitate the safe and contamination-free disassembly of cylindrical battery cases commonly used in battery research and development. Its compact footprint allows it to be conveniently operated within a glove box environment, effectively isolating sensitive electrolyte and active materials from ambient contamination during the disassembly process.
This manually operated machine features a user-friendly design with a safety protection cover and controlled gas inlet to minimize sparks by allowing inert gas flow during cutting. It accommodates a range of cylindrical cell sizes, including 18650, 21700, 26650, 32650, 4680, and 46110, making it versatile for various battery formats.
Key Features
- Compact design suitable for glove box integration via large antechamber transfer.
- Variable slicing motor speed adjustable between 5000 and 16000 rpm for precise cutting.
- Chuck spin speed adjustable from 50 to 3000 rpm, supporting workpiece diameters up to 46 mm and lengths up to 100 mm.
- Includes sets of cutting discs: 2″ metal/Inox discs for 4680 and 46110 cases, and 3″ fiber discs for 18650, 21700, and 26650 cases.
- Comes with cylindrical case holders compatible with multiple cell sizes; replacement holders and discs available separately.
- Protective cover with controlled gas inlet to reduce spark risk during cutting by feeding inert gas.
- UL certified 12VDC power adaptor included; no additional NRTL certification required.

Typical Applications
The MSK-4680 is ideal for battery research laboratories and quality control environments where precise and contamination-free disassembly of cylindrical battery cells is required. It supports a wide range of cell formats, facilitating analysis, recycling, or failure investigation of lithium-ion and other cylindrical cells.
Configuration & Operating Notes
The standard package includes cutting discs and cylindrical case holders for multiple cell sizes. Additional replacement discs and holders can be purchased separately. To extend blade life, a low feeding speed is recommended, typically requiring about 45 seconds to cut through a cylindrical casing. When operating outside an inert atmosphere, feeding inert gas through the protective cover’s gas inlet is advised to minimize sparks and enhance safety.
