Description
MSK-180SP is a gas-driven die cutter for producing pouch battery cathode/anode electrodes ( no electricity required ) Its compact design enables the operation inside a glove box with Ar atmosphere where moisture/oxygen-sensitive electrodes will be cut (such as lithium metal electrode for Lithium-Sulfur, Lithium Air, and Lithium Solid-State batteries).
MTI has granted the patent 201220308662.1 for the Pouch Cell Die Cutting Machine MSK-180SP since January 2013.
SPECIFICATIONS:
Die Set Dimensions  | - Two standard electrodes (Cathode & Anode) cutting dies are included for immediate use.
- Cathode Die: 56mm (L) x 43mm (W). With 10mm (L) x 10mm (W) protrude current collector.
- Anode Die: 58mm (L) x 45mm (W). With 10mm (L) x 10mm (W) protrude current collector
- Customized dies with Max. dimension 120mm L x 80mm W, including current collector, available at extra cost.
  |
| Plate Pad | - Use the plate pad to hold the electrode and minimize permanent markings on the base.
 Warning: please don't use other material to replace the pad |
| Cutting Depth | Max. 0.5mm (tested with aluminum laminated film) |
| Cutting Accuracy | ±0.1mm |
| Cutting Pressure Force | Max. 1T (recommended pressure force for cutting battery electrodes is 0.5T) |
Glove Box Compatibility
 | - KF40 Feedthrough with all necessary wire and tube are included to allow operating inside the Glovebox, which has a KF40 port (Click on the picture for details)
- Please use Inert gas when operating in the glove box.
- One KF-40 clamp with rubber O-ring is included
|
| Gas Pressure | - 0.5~1.0Mpa (0.7Mpa is recommended)
- To use inside the glove box, please use compressed inert gas such as Ar
- To use outside the glove box, you may use the air compressor, 60 psi recommended
- Compressor is not included, please click the image below to order
- Attention: If a gas cylinder is used instead of an air compressor(pic2), a two-stage pressure regulator(pic1) must be installed on the gas cylinder to limit the pressure within the required working range for safe operation. Click here to learn the installation of a gas regulator

| Application Notes | - A perfect fit for the cases formed by the standard size MSK-120, with no rough edge, clippings, or creasings
- The shape of the electrodes it produces is also handy for the later processing steps such as tab welding by MSK-800 and electrode stacking by MSK-111A
- Compact design enables the operation inside the glove box with Ar atmosphere where Lithium Sulfur, Lithium Air, Lithium Solid State or Li-ion half cell will be assembled. Please click the images in below to understand these technologies and how it fits in a glove box
