-CIMA-8000 – Automatic - Lift station - maximum stack height -108 mm (4.25 inches) at 3.75 cells per second.

-CIM-8500 – Manual load/unload - maximum stack height - 60 mm (2.38 inches) at 4.75 cells per second.

-CIMA-8500 – Automatic - Lift station - maximum stack height - 60 mm (2.38 inches) at 4.75 cells per second.



Options



-Material slitting mechanism to automatically cut cell material to desired width. Material width to be at least 3.2 mm (0.125 inches) greater than desired final width.

-Second material supply.

-Skewed armatures up to 15 degrees are accommodated with machine set at an angle to material handling.



Tooling



-Tooling to accommodate most insulating materials including rag, paper, laminates, mylar, or other similar plastic materials and laminates up to 0.38 mm (0.015 inches) thickness. Thicker materials require custom designs.

-Tooling consisting of lift chuck, upper and lower form rolls, cell cavity, nose piece, ram, tamp blade, and knife assembly.

-Tooling designed to provide cell material formed to precisely fit the contour of the lamination.
