TOBGROUP’s pouch cell lab line integrates frontier technologies, engineering expertise, and flexibility to enable efficient R&D.
● Ultimate Modularity & Flexibility: Independent module design for each process unit (e.g., coating, calendering, stacking, sealing, testing). Supports free combination, phased procurement, and stepwise implementation. Enables rapid switching/iteration of formulas, parameters, and cell dimensions (thickness/length/width).
● Advanced Technology R&D Platform: Deep integration of frontier process modules: solid electrolyte handling (powder/film), dry electrode fabrication, pre-lithiation, and specialized sealing (e.g., high-vacuum, high-temperature). Empowers R&D for solid-state, sodium-ion, Li-S, and other next-gen technologies.
● Data-Driven R&D Acceleration: Integrated precision Data Acquisition System (DAS) with optional lightweight MES. Real-time monitoring of key parameters (viscosity,
loading density, thickness, temperature, pressure, voltage, current). Enables process traceability, performance correlation analysis, and standardized reporting to accelerate R&D iteration.
● Production-Ready Experimentation: Process design aligns with mass production requirements. Critical parameters (e.g., compaction density, electrolyte volume, sealing conditions, formation protocols) are scalable to pilot/production lines, significantly reducing scale-up risks.
From concept to sample—TOB ensures full-cycle support:
● Needs Assessment: Align on R&D goals, material systems, KPIs (capacity, rate, cycle life, safety), process priorities, and budget.
● Custom Solution Design: Deliver tailored process flow, 3D lab layout, and equipment configuration.
● Precision Equipment Sourcing: Select, customize, or supply core tools (e.g., mini coater, compact roller, manual/semi-auto stacker, vacuum sealer, testers) for specific research needs.
● Expert Installation & Validation: On-site setup, process tuning, and sample trials by seasoned engineers.
● Comprehensive Training: Cover operations, maintenance, process optimization, safety, and data analysis.
