MSK-T-13A Motorized Ring & Disc Cutter with Lithium Foil Cutting Die for Ø26×Ø19 mm Lithium Rings
The MSK-T-13A is a benchtop motorized cutter specifically engineered to punch precise lithium rings with an outer diameter of 26 mm and an inner diameter of 19 mm. These lithium rings are commonly used as reference electrodes in three-electrode split test cells, facilitating accurate electrochemical measurements in battery research and development. The device’s design supports operation within an inert atmosphere such as an argon-filled glovebox, ensuring safe handling of reactive lithium materials.
Beyond lithium, the MSK-T-13A’s modular system allows the use of an optional cutting die to punch cathode material rings sized Ø15×Ø8 mm, suitable for assembling three-electrode split coin cells. This flexibility supports diverse sample preparation needs in battery electrode fabrication and testing workflows.
Key Features
- Motorized cutting with a 24V DC motor and reducing gear delivering 15W power for controlled operation.
- Adjustable cutting force ranging from 0 to 1400 kgf to accommodate different material thicknesses and hardness.
- Includes a ring-shaped alloy cutting die for lithium foil rings (Ø26 mm outer diameter × Ø19 mm inner diameter).
- Optional cutting die available for cathode materials (Ø15 mm outer diameter × Ø8 mm inner diameter) for split coin cell preparation.
