Supply of Cylindrical Cell Jelly Roll Winder to University of Warwick

About

The University of Warwick awarded a contract to Digatron Systems S.r.l.

for the purchase of a cylindrical cell jelly roll winder for its Battery Scale-Up (BSU) pilot line at the Energy Innovation Centre (EIC) within WMG.

The winder is used to manufacture rolls comprising anode and cathode electrodes, separators, and tabs, covering cell dimensional ranges from 18650 through to 46900 in a single machine.

It has the capability to wind pre-cut anode and cathode electrode lengths (with and without pre-welded tabs), as well as electrodes on separate feed rolls without pre-welded tabs, with tabs welded automatically using an inline ultrasonic welding system under tension and active edge position control to ensure roll dimensional accuracy.

The contract value is £556,000.
