VOLT Battery Assembly Equipment


FLEXIBLE:
The same line can produce the whole range of automotive batteries, both with in-line and traverse connections, from 160 to 520 mm of length (this includes all the current European, American and Japanese standard sizes. 36Ah¨¤200Ah)

MATCHED TO YOUR NEEDS:
you can have just he automation level and the production rate that suit your needs. The different options available span from semi-automatic systems to computer-controlled lines capable of producing 4 batteries per minute and operated by one man. .

RELIABLE: During the assembling process the batteries undergo a series of accurate tests, automatically carried out, for short circuit detection, check of the intercell weldings and heat sealing leakage detection. These tests, added to the precision and quality of VOLT operation units, give the assurance of the quality of the final product-all the batteries coming out from the line comply with the standards set by you.

COMPACT:all the VOLT assembly line are engineered for making the best use of your floor space.

our offer is only a half of that from Wirtz, TBS, ¡­, one sixth of that from SOVEMA, but their performance is never poor. Specially, our COS and enveloping machine & stacker are strong competitive against TBS and SOVEMA  

FULLY AUTOMATIC VOLT ASSEMBLY LINE, Line SM-4

The Fully Automatic VOLT Assembly Lines incorporate into an integrated system all the operations for the final assembly of PP batteries. Before the line, it is only necessary that the punched containers, plates and separators, are stored in a continuous row, then the conveying system transfers them one by one to the following operating units, where the arrival, clamping, working cycle and release of the battery are carried out on an automatic sequence.

Enveloping and stacking station- Specially envelop the plates with the PE separator and stack the group from 2~41 plates at the same time ensure the higher output and constant quality.  The enveloping machine for PE and stacking machine for leaf separators, e.g. PVC, HR, are available separately.

Cast-On-Strap/COS Station- for efficient production of high quality cos connections, This machine is very flexible in operation being able to accommodate SLI batteries of 6¡Á1, 3¡Á1& 3¡Á2 layout. Automation COS production can be accomplished on this single machine with the aim of rotary design and up-down motion, manually turn-over, semi-auto-align and auto-polish the lugs, advanced PC unit and program-control. The production practice have well proved the COS(cast-on-strap) machine not only meets the processing requirements, commercially produces quality plate groups, but also has achieved internationally advanced level of the same kind.

The group is inserted into the containers by manual.

Short Circuit/Group Inversion Detection Station- the VOLT test system checks on a programmed eequence the cells; if any short circuit is detected, an alarm is given and the battery is automatically sent to the rejection conveyor. The test parameters, such as voltage and acceptable range of leakage current, are adjustable to suit the different battery types and ambient conditions. An optional group inversion test equipment can be fitted to this station. Test electrodes with adjustable position dispense with the need of interchangeable tool plates.

Connectors- The VOLT Fully Automatic Welding Machine, Type IWM-4, specially designed for all current types of SLI batteries, with 6x1, 3x2 or NATO cell layout, brings you the latest technology into through-partition welding of inter-cell connections, specially designed three heads for higher outputs (up to 4 batteries per minute).  Cycle and positioning movement are controlled by an electronic axis-control unit. The unit can store the programs for 99 different type of battery. the data are stored in EPROMs, which ensure their integrity even in the event of a power shutdown. Cycle movements are precisely actuated by encoder-controlled direct current motors, with a repeatable position accuracy of 0.1mm.  This machine features an innovative micro-processor welding control system, which ensures welds of constant quality. The system is adaptive, in that it automatically offsets the small differences in welding conditions between one battery and the next. When, however, the weld parameters reach values which can not be offset any further, or which exceed the specified acceptance range, an extremely sensitive surveillance system interrupts the cycle, sounds an alarm and sends the battery to the reject conveyor. The control is performed during the welding process and is therefore certainly more selective than after-welding checks: mechanical tests, which cause stress on the connection, are no longer required in the assembly line.

Current & Shear Testing Station Specially designed for testing the welding checks of thru-partition for all current types of SLI batteries, with 6x1, 3x2 or NATO cell layout, specially three heads for higher outputs (up to 4 batteries per minute). Highly automatic,accurate and rapidly, programmable shear and heavy currenttesting

HEAT SEALING STATION- Accurate temperature and pressure control assures an uniform quality of the sealing. The machine is pneumatically operated and is produced in two version: standard, with heating element 600x300mm, and enlarged, which can either heat-seal two batteries at a time up to 330mm long, or a single one up to 800mm.

Pressure Testing Station-  The tightness of the sealed junction is tested by applying an air pressure and detecting the leakage between adjacent cells or towards the outside. Test duration and pressure are adjustable; when the leak exceeds the pre-set threshold the rejection of the battery is automatic. Also this station features an adjustable test head, eliminating any need of tool replacement.  

Post-burning Machine Number Printing and Aluminum Foil Sealing - it is fully automatic to print the 10-digital numbers ( for date, series number, ¡­) on the bodies of batteries by heating. The uminum foil will be covered on the vents against the moisture through heat welding at the same time.Enveloping and stacking station can also be separated to supply(called Line-3) depends on the customer¡¯ requirements.SEMI-AUTOMATIC VOLT ASSEMBLY LINE, Line SM-3, 3+, HR-3  For all those manufactures who do not require a high production output or need aq side production line for small series, , we have also developed a simplified version of its assembling equipment, incorporating the same basic technology but based on idle rollers and manually operated stations.

These lines offer the same high quality of the automatic ones combined with the maximum flexibility; the output is proportional to the number of operators engaged (from three to seven) and  the change over of the  tools is as simplified as possible.

Specially, Line HR-3 is designed for assembling the hard rubber batteries. This line includes rotated welding station, stacking station, bridge connecting and gel stabilizing station. Its capacity is up to 300 batteries per shift.

Rotated welding station: Here made the plates groups. The plates will be welded to form the groups with half-post and terminals. The small parts will be produced separately by manual or die casting.

Stacking station
:
Here made the cells. The welded group and separators are inserted in order. While inserting, their quality is also checked.

Bridge connecting and gel stabilizing station
:
Here made completed batteries. The cells be connected by bridges, the lids will be sealed by gel.

The parts and raw materials are transported to the suitable positions automatically.

Note: Line SM-4, fully assembly line for PP batteries.
SM-3, SM-3+, semi-automatic assembly line for PP batteries.
HR-3, semi-automatic Hard Rubber assembly line for HR batteries.
