MaxWave Cylindrical Battery Sorting Machine FAQs

Explore common questions about cell compatibility, operator requirements, and production line integration before choosing your battery sorting setup.

Can the machine handle cylindrical cells other than 4695?

The reference system is designed for 4695 cylindrical cells. Other cell sizes require confirmation of the feeding system, testing fixtures, robot gripper, and pallet layout before customization.

Does the battery sorting machine require an operator?

Yes. The reference setup is designed for one operator to load 64-cell boxes, monitor the process, handle rejected cells, and remove completed pallets. Cell testing and robotic placement are automated.

Can the machine integrate with an existing battery PACK line?

Integration of the battery sorting machine with an existing battery pack line can be evaluated based on your production layout, pallet handling method, and control requirements. Conveyor connections, PLC communication, and data interfaces should be confirmed before finalizing the configuration.

How Can Automated Cell Sorting Improve Your PACK Production?

The MaxWave Cylindrical Battery Sorting Machine combines 2D code identification, OCV/ACIR testing, automatic NG rejection, and robotic palletizing into one coordinated workflow. Designed for 4695 cylindrical cells, it helps reduce repetitive manual handling, streamline quality screening, and support cell-level traceability before PACK assembly.
