Electrode Processing
Mixing, coating, calendering, slitting and high-vacuum roll drying.
Tabless Winding
Controlled tension and alignment establish the 32140 jelly-roll geometry.
End Forming
Exposed foil edges are formed into stable collector-contact surfaces.
Collector Joining
Collector discs are positioned and laser-welded using the approved process window.
Can Assembly
Insulation, stainless-steel can insertion, grooving, filling and sealing are coordinated.
Formation & Sorting
Formation, aging, testing, grading and sorting retain the required quality records.
32140
Cell format
A large-format cylindrical-cell manufacturing route.
Tabless
Current collection
Continuous foil-edge contact coordinated with end forming and welding.
Steel
Cell enclosure
Stainless-steel can assembly with matched insulation and sealing steps.
End-to-end
Delivery scope
Engineering through installation, commissioning and technical support.
Customer Priorities & Engineering Response
The project was defined around the relationships between electrode-edge geometry, long-format winding, distributed current collection and traceable back-end testing.
Prepare Consistent Electrode Edges
TOB engineering responseLinked slurry preparation, coating, calendering, slitting and vacuum drying with the exposed-foil geometry required by the tabless structure.
Control the Long Jelly Roll
TOB engineering responseSpecified controlled tension, web guidance and alignment so the cathode, separator and anode form uniform end faces after winding.
Join Collectors Repeatably
TOB engineering responseCoordinated end-face forming, collector positioning, laser-welding parameters and electrical inspection as one connected process.
Retain Traceable Cell Data
TOB engineering responseConnected formation, aging, testing, grading and sorting records to the customer's approved classification and lot-management requirements.
Production Line Design Basis
Final machine settings and acceptance criteria are defined against the customer-approved cell drawing, materials, process recipe, target output and factory conditions.

Core Equipment & Process Controls
The equipment groups cover the route from prepared battery materials to graded 32140 cells. Final parameters remain subject to the approved technical specification.
Project Value & Delivery
A Controlled Route from Electrode Processing to Graded 32140 Cells
TOB NEW ENERGY coordinated equipment interfaces, process handoffs, quality-control points and technical support around the customer's approved 32140 cell design and factory conditions. The platform provides a structured basis for recipe refinement, engineering review and future capacity planning.
Project facts are based on the 2026 TOB NEW ENERGY project brief. Final performance figures and acceptance criteria remain specific to the customer's validated materials, product specification and project records.
Electrode preparation and moisture-control operations are linked to tabless assembly requirements.
Winding, end forming, collector joining and stainless-steel can processes are coordinated.
Formation, aging, testing, grading and sorting support traceable classification.
Installation, commissioning, training and technical support form part of the project scope.
