Automated Electrode Sheet Sorting: A New Solution for Quality and Efficiency Enhancement

China, leveraging its comprehensive industrial chain and strong technological innovation capacity, continues to consolidate its leading position in the global battery market.

Industry data shows that Chinese battery manufacturers hold a major share of global production, achieving exponential output growth.

However, within this booming sector, the electrode sheet sorting process has become a critical bottleneck restricting production efficiency.

Traditional manual sorting faces three key challenges:

Rising labor costs

Low sorting efficiency that cannot keep pace with modern production lines

Inconsistent precision that affects overall product quality

As automation demand in the new energy sector grows rapidly, robotic applications on production lines have seen significant adoption.

Intelligent Sorting Solution by Atomrobot

Atomrobot has launched a delta robot–based automated electrode sheet sorting solution, integrating machine vision and deep learning technologies to create a comprehensive intelligent sorting system, providing strong technical support for battery manufacturers.

Precise Identification & Positioning

Equipped with high-resolution industrial cameras and advanced image-processing algorithms, the system extracts shape, color, size, and surface features of electrode sheets in real time.

This enables accurate identification and intelligent classification, ensuring sorting precision and reliability.

High-Speed, High-Accuracy Operation

For scattered incoming materials on conveyor lines, the robot adopts a fixed-point overlapping placement mode, automatically distinguishing the front and back sides at each workstation.

With a ±2 mm positioning accuracy, the robot guarantees both speed and precision throughout the sorting process.

Stable & Reliable Performance

The optimized mechanical structure, combined with advanced control algorithms, ensures stable long-term operation even under high-intensity production conditions, maintaining continuous efficiency and reliability.

Delivering Tangible Value for Manufacturers

The solution has already generated significant results for several battery manufacturers:

Efficiency Boost: Overall sorting efficiency increased by 100%, achieving a stable throughput of 90 sheets per minute.

Quality Assurance: Sorting error rate reduced from 5% to below 0.3%, improving product consistency.

Cost Optimization: Each unit replaces two human operators, effectively lowering labor expenses.

Fast ROI: Average payback period of just 12 months, delivering strong long-term economic returns.

Empowering the Future of Battery Manufacturing

As next-generation technologies such as solid-state batteries and sodium-ion batteries move toward industrialization, Atomrobot’s automated sorting solution will continue to evolve through the deep integration of intelligent algorithms and robotics technology.

With a commitment to helping battery manufacturers maintain their competitive edge in the new energy era, Atomrobot is driving the industry toward a more efficient, precise, and intelligent production model.
