FIXTURE-26650 FOR NICKEL REMOVER MACHINE

FIXTURE-26650 FOR NICKEL REMOVER MACHINE

The Fixture-26650 for Nickel Remover Machine is a dedicated cell-holding jig designed to position 26650 cylindrical lithium cells during nickel-tab removal or related battery-rework operations. ARB's current product page identifies the fixture specifically for 26650 cells and describes it as a support component for nickel-remover machines. Using a cell-specific fixture can improve repeatability because the battery is held in a consistent position relative to the cutting or removal mechanism.

Battery tab removal requires more control than simply holding a cell by hand. Residual nickel from a previously welded pack can be sharp, spring-loaded or close to the cell can insulation. A fixture provides a defined working position so the operator can present the cell to the remover tool with better alignment and less unnecessary movement.

The 26650 designation refers to the cylindrical cell format, nominally around 26mm diameter and 65mm length. The fixture should therefore be selected based on actual cell diameter, wrapper condition and the geometry of the nickel-remover machine. ARB's current listing gives approximate outer dimensions of 100 x 100 x 10mm and describes slots intended to allow tool movement around the held cell. Because fixture material and heat-resistance claims are difficult to verify independently, those properties should be confirmed from the physical item or supplier datasheet before they are used as guaranteed specifications.

The fixture itself does not remove nickel automatically. It supports the cell and helps establish a repeatable position while the matched nickel-removal machine performs the cutting or separation work. Correct fixture alignment is therefore part of the process setup.

Use this fixture only with 26650-format cells and a nickel-remover machine whose work area, mounting pattern and cutting path match the jig. Do not assume compatibility with 18650, 21700, 32700 or prismatic cells. Confirm how the fixture attaches to the machine and whether spacers, screws or clamps are required. If the cell wrapper is damaged or swollen, remove the cell from service instead of forcing it into the fixture.

Target Applications

1. 26650 battery-cell nickel tab removal

2. Battery pack repair and rework

3. Second-life cell processing

4. Nickel-remover machine setup

5. Battery workshop cell preparation

6. R&D and teardown operations

Installation Guide

Clean the fixture before every batch so metal fragments cannot sit under the cell or cause scratches. Place the 26650 cell in the intended cavity and confirm that it sits flat without excessive force. Align the fixture with the remover tool according to the machine setup and keep fingers clear of the cutting area. After nickel removal, inspect the cell terminal for deep gouges, punctures, torn insulation or overheating. Remove loose metal fragments from the fixture frequently because small nickel pieces can create electrical shorts around exposed battery terminals.

Why Choose ARB Accessories?

ARB Accessories focuses on lithium-battery, EV, energy-storage and battery-pack assembly components. The catalog brings together cells, BMS boards, connectors, insulation materials, battery enclosures, wiring, testing equipment and production tools in one specialist product range. For battery builders, repair workshops, system integrators and OEM buyers, this can make comparison and procurement easier because related components can be evaluated together. Final suitability should always be checked against the exact battery design, machine model, electrical rating and installation requirements before use.
