An Automated Forming System of Negative Plates

Abstract:

Negative plate forming is one of the important tasks of silver-zinc battery production. The objective of this work is to develop an automated forming system of negative plates to ensure the workers’ health and safety and to improve its production efficiency. The ointment injection and layer press method was studied by using two 3DOF robots moving and injecting zinc ointment along required trajectory and four 1DOF robots carrying the molds, carrier papers and metal grids between transportation lines and other machines. Experiment results show that the developed system with optimized parameters can reach the requirements of processing quality.
