Multi-tabs Laser Notching & Slitting Machine

This high-precision multi-tabs laser notching and slitting machine for lithium-ion and sodium-ion battery electrodes delivers burr-free cuts (10-15μm) and slitting accuracy (±0.3 mm). Its core value lies in enabling superior current distribution for high-power drone and wearable pouch/prismatic cells, by achieving flawless tab geometry that minimizes internal resistance and heat generation, which is critical for fast-charging and safety.

USE CASES

Performs simultaneous tab shaping and web slitting of coated electrode rolls to create precise multi-tab geometries required for high-current pouch and prismatic cells.

Why this machine: Multi-tab designs improve current distribution but are sensitive to burrs. Laser processing ensures clean edges and precise geometry that mechanical die-cutting cannot match, reducing internal resistance and heat.

 

Ideal User:

Battery developers focused on 100W+ fast-charging technologies for EVs and high-end flagships, where multi-tab design is essential for heat dissipation and minimizing internal resistance.

When to choose:

When using multi-tab architectures where tab accuracy directly impacts thermal distribution and safety.

Process Advantage: Multi-tab Electrode Engineering

Multi-tab electrode architectures are increasingly used to reduce current density and improve thermal distribution in high-power pouch cells. However, they impose extremely strict requirements on tab geometry, edge quality, and positional accuracy.
This laser-based system eliminates mechanical stress and burr formation commonly seen in die-cutting, ensuring uniform tab dimensions and clean edges. The result is lower internal resistance, improved heat dissipation, and higher long-term cell stability in fast-charge and high-rate applications.
