Semi-Automatic Aluminum-Plastic Film Forming Machine MRX-SCK200

The MRX-SCK200 Semi-Automatic Aluminum-Plastic Film Forming Machine is engineered for forming aluminum-plastic laminate film into the shaped cavities required for pouch lithium-ion battery assembly. By applying controlled forming pressure through a pneumatic-hydraulic amplification system, the machine enables the laminate material to be shaped into battery pockets with defined dimensions and forming depth.

The MRX-SCK200 is designed for battery laboratories, prototype production lines, pilot manufacturing environments, and small-scale pouch cell development. Its semi-automatic operating configuration provides a practical balance between process control and equipment simplicity, making it suitable for applications where different cell sizes or forming specifications may need to be evaluated during product development.

A four-column guided structure provides stable vertical movement during forming, while the precision tooling system supports accurate cavity formation. The mold assembly can be replaced efficiently, and the forming depth can be adjusted according to the requirements of the pouch cell design and aluminum-plastic laminate being processed.

Key Specifications & Parameters

The MRX-SCK200 supports aluminum-plastic film formats up to approximately 200 mm in length and 150 mm in width. The forming specification can also be customized according to the requirements of different pouch cell designs and production projects.

The maximum forming depth is approximately 6 mm, with the actual achievable depth influenced by the mechanical properties, structure, and quality of the aluminum-plastic laminate. The machine incorporates a 3-ton pressure amplification cylinder with adjustable output to provide the forming force required for the application.

The equipment operates with an AC 220V / 50Hz electrical supply and has a rated power of 100W. The required compressed-air pressure is 0.5–0.7 MPa. A built-in counter provides a convenient method for monitoring forming operations during production or laboratory use.

The machine has an installation footprint of approximately 670 × 370 × 1000 mm and weighs about 180 kg. The tooling system is manufactured with precision finishing, with a specified mold and core surface roughness of approximately Ra 0.4 through mirror polishing. The flatness of the upper and lower mold surfaces and mold core is approximately 0.02 mm.

Core Features

The four-column guide mechanism supports smooth and stable movement of the forming assembly. This structure helps maintain alignment between the upper and lower tooling during repeated forming cycles and contributes to consistent cavity dimensions.

The pneumatic-hydraulic pressure amplification design converts relatively low pneumatic input pressure into a higher mechanical forming force. This allows the equipment to perform deep forming operations without requiring an excessively high direct air pressure source.

The mold system is designed for convenient replacement and adjustment. Operators can change tooling according to different pouch cell dimensions and modify the forming depth to match the selected aluminum-plastic film and cell configuration.

Precision-machined tooling with polished forming surfaces helps maintain a clean cavity profile after forming. The tooling geometry is designed to reduce undesirable deformation around corners and edges, which is important when producing pouch battery pockets for subsequent cell assembly.

Safety protection is incorporated into the equipment through a light curtain and external protective enclosure. These features help reduce operator exposure to the forming area during machine operation and contribute to safer laboratory and production environments.

The machine body uses a compact sheet-metal structure with a clean geometric appearance. Its relatively small footprint compared with larger production forming systems makes it suitable for battery development areas where workspace efficiency is important.

Main Functions

The main function of the MRX-SCK200 is to form aluminum-plastic laminate film into the recessed cavity used for pouch battery assembly. The forming operation creates the space required to accommodate the internal electrode stack or wound cell structure during subsequent assembly.

The machine applies controlled pressure through its pressure amplification system to deform the laminate into the required mold geometry. Adjustable forming depth allows the process to be adapted to different pouch cell structures and material characteristics.

Tool replacement allows the same basic equipment platform to support different battery sizes during development. This is particularly useful for R&D projects in which multiple pouch cell dimensions need to be tested without investing in a dedicated machine for every cell format.

The forming counter can be used to record completed forming cycles, supporting basic production monitoring and batch management during laboratory or small-scale manufacturing operations.

Specific Application Scenarios

The MRX-SCK200 is particularly suitable for pouch lithium-ion battery research and development. Battery engineers can use the equipment to prepare aluminum-plastic film cases before electrode stacking or winding, electrolyte filling, sealing, and other downstream cell assembly processes.

In university and laboratory environments, the machine can support pouch cell prototype fabrication and experimental battery development. The adjustable tooling and forming depth provide flexibility when researchers need to investigate different cell dimensions, laminate materials, and cavity configurations.

For pilot-scale battery production, the MRX-SCK200 can be used as a semi-automatic forming station for preparing pouch cell packaging material before assembly. Its compact configuration makes it suitable for development lines where production volume is moderate and frequent product changes are expected.

The equipment is also applicable to prototype battery manufacturers and energy storage technology developers who need to produce customized pouch cell formats. Different molds can be introduced according to the required cell dimensions and forming geometry.

For process engineering teams, the MRX-SCK200 can be used to evaluate aluminum-plastic film forming behavior and establish suitable forming depths before transferring the process to higher-throughput manufacturing equipment.
