11-Channel Cylindrical Battery Automatic Sorting Equipment with Barcode Reading Scanner

The ACEY-AS11S is an 11-channel automatic sorting machine engineered for cylindrical battery cells. It performs cell inspection and pairing prior to battery pack assembly. The system combines a PC control architecture with a motion controller, high-precision servo drives, and a HIOKI BT3561A battery tester to deliver fully automatic feeding, measurement, classification, and material collection.

Cylindrical cells are loaded into the hopper and fed through a feeding chute. Based on preset testing thresholds, qualified cells are routed to their corresponding output bins, while defective cells are diverted to a dedicated rejection area. The platform includes built-in functions for test data analysis, archival storage, and automated production reporting, allowing operators to track cell lots and audit sorting outcomes with ease.

The equipment supports standalone operation and can also be linked to an automatic insulation paper pasting machine. With barcode scanning capability and MES connectivity, it enables seamless data capture and information synchronization throughout the battery pack manufacturing line.

• 11-channel automatic sorting: Groups cylindrical cells according to configured test criteria, with separate collection for rejected cells.
• HIOKI battery testing: Equipped with a HIOKI BT3561A tester for battery internal resistance measurement.
• Approximately 3,200 cells per hour: Automates cell feeding, testing, sorting, and collection.
• Multiple cell formats: Supports 14650, 18650, 21700, 26650, and 32700 cylindrical cells.
• Approximately 15-minute changeover: Allows operators to adjust the machine for a different supported cell format.
• PC-based control: Supports product settings, production parameter adjustment, test data storage, and report generation.
• Barcode and QR code scanning: Includes a scanner for reading cell identification codes.
• MES connectivity: Supports production data collection and uploading to an MES system.
• Line integration: Can connect with an automatic insulation paper application machine.
• Compact, movable construction: Cold-rolled steel sheet and aluminum alloy construction with swivel casters for repositioning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What types of cylindrical batteries can this automatic sorting machine handle?

A: This machine is designed for cylindrical lithium-ion battery sorting. Compatible battery sizes and specifications should be confirmed according to your cell models and production requirements.

Q2: What is the function of the barcode reading scanner?

A: The barcode scanner reads battery identification information to support cell identification and traceability during the sorting process, depending on the configured scanning system.

Q3: What are the advantages of an 11-channel automatic battery sorting machine?

A: The 11-channel design enables batteries to be sorted into different channels according to preset sorting criteria, helping improve sorting efficiency, reduce manual handling, and support consistent battery pack assembly.
