11 CH UNIVERSAL SORTING MACHINE SKXD-1100

SunkaLead SKXD-1100 11-Slot Cylindrical Battery Cell Sorting Machine

The SunkaLead SKXD-1100 is an eleven-slot cylindrical battery cell sorter for voltage and internal-resistance grading. It provides multiple collection positions for production teams that need more detailed electrical grouping than a simple pass/fail inspection stage.

Its purpose is to organise tested cells into defined groups before further assembly or matching. The eleven positions are the total receiving slots, not eleven test stations. The final assignment of accepted grades and rejected material should be planned around the delivered sorting configuration and the requirements of the battery pack being manufactured.

The equipment uses bin feeding, an electrical test stage and automatic distribution, with personnel collecting the separated cells. Measured voltage and resistance are compared with configured grade limits, and the test information supports review of the selected collection result.

A sorter measures the screening parameters used by its test station; it does not determine a cell's discharge capacity merely by assigning a grade. Capacity data should come from a separate approved charge-discharge procedure when required. Combining capacity, voltage and resistance information can support a more complete matching decision, but the criteria must be defined by the pack design.

Eleven collection positions are valuable only when the production team can maintain clear separation. Assign consistent labels and instructions to each used position, and prevent cells from different lots being combined unintentionally during collection.

Match the cylindrical cell format to the machine's guides, contacts and collection paths. Provide dimensions and terminal details for the intended production cell rather than relying on the word universal. Each format change should include a controlled setup check and a sample run.

Choose grading windows that are meaningful for the application and achievable with the validated measurement process. Extremely narrow limits can create avoidable retesting when contact condition or cell temperature varies. Agree on reference samples and a method for checking repeatability before production. Also assess loading and collection time alongside machine operation, since effective throughput depends on the whole workflow rather than the number of outlets alone.

Applications

• Multi-grade cylindrical-cell inspection for battery assemblers.

• Incoming voltage and resistance comparison between lots.

• Preparation of electrically matched cell groups.

• Inspection of previously capacity-tested cylindrical cells.

• Production trials requiring several defined output grades.

Installation Guide

Install the sorter with the prescribed single-phase supply, protective earth, compressed air and clear access to the collection area. Inspect cell insulation and ensure that the selected format moves through the guides without damage. Trained personnel should validate the electrical contact and routing mechanisms together.

Use reference samples to check each active output and confirm that recorded values agree with the intended grade. Retain approved thresholds and changeover settings. Keep probes clean and service the feed and distribution mechanisms at the required intervals. Stop and isolate the equipment before clearing jams. Revalidate after maintenance, a software change or a change in cell supplier and terminal condition.

Why Choose ARB Accessories?

ARB Accessories supplies battery-production equipment alongside cells, insulation materials, interconnects and BMS products. For this sorter, share the cell drawing, intended grading rules and production workflow when requesting compatibility guidance. Considering the inspection stage together with downstream assembly requirements makes the purchasing discussion more useful than selecting a machine by channel count or a generic speed claim alone.
