TOB Delivers a 32140 Tabless Cylindrical Cell Production Line with Stainless-Steel Cans in Europe

Oct 30,2026

Project case study · Europe · 2026

An integrated 32140 tabless cylindrical cell line engineered around a stainless-steel enclosure.

TOB NEW ENERGY coordinated electrode processing, tabless jelly-roll assembly, collector joining, can assembly, electrolyte filling, formation and sorting as one production system.

01

Electrode Processing

Mixing, coating, calendering, slitting and high-vacuum roll drying.

02

Tabless Winding

Controlled tension and alignment establish the 32140 jelly-roll geometry.

End Forming

Exposed foil edges are formed into stable collector-contact surfaces.

04

Collector Joining

Collector discs are positioned and laser-welded using the approved process window.

05

Can Assembly

Insulation, stainless-steel can insertion, grooving, filling and sealing are coordinated.

06

Formation & Sorting

Formation, aging, testing, grading and sorting retain the required quality records.

Customer Priorities & Engineering Response

4 Control Points

The project was defined around the relationships between electrode-edge geometry, long-format winding, distributed current collection and traceable back-end testing.

A

Prepare Consistent Electrode Edges

TOB engineering responseLinked slurry preparation, coating, calendering, slitting and vacuum drying with the exposed-foil geometry required by the tabless structure.

B

Control the Long Jelly Roll

TOB engineering responseSpecified controlled tension, web guidance and alignment so the cathode, separator and anode form uniform end faces after winding.

C

Join Collectors Repeatably

TOB engineering responseCoordinated end-face forming, collector positioning, laser-welding parameters and electrical inspection as one connected process.

D

Retain Traceable Cell Data

TOB engineering responseConnected formation, aging, testing, grading and sorting records to the customer's approved classification and lot-management requirements.

Project Value & Delivery

System Integration

A Controlled Route from Electrode Processing to Graded 32140 Cells

TOB NEW ENERGY coordinated equipment interfaces, process handoffs, quality-control points and technical support around the customer's approved 32140 cell design and factory conditions. The platform provides a structured basis for recipe refinement, engineering review and future capacity planning.

Project facts are based on the 2026 TOB NEW ENERGY project brief. Final performance figures and acceptance criteria remain specific to the customer's validated materials, product specification and project records.

Front end

Electrode preparation and moisture-control operations are linked to tabless assembly requirements.

Assembly

Winding, end forming, collector joining and stainless-steel can processes are coordinated.

Back end

Formation, aging, testing, grading and sorting support traceable classification.

Support

Installation, commissioning, training and technical support form part of the project scope.
