Lab-Sized Coating Machine Electrode Die-Cutting Machine Launched Simultaneously AOAO Completes Full Equipment Chain for Coin Cell Fabrication

Xiamen AOAO New Energy Unveils New Equipment, Saving Researchers the Hassle of Sourcing Machines from Multiple Suppliers

coin cells serve as the core power source for countless daily portable electronics, including Bluetooth earphones, smartwatches, body fat scales, hearing aids and electronic thermometers. For chemical laboratories at universities and R&D departments of new energy enterprises aiming to boost battery endurance or develop novel lithium/sodium metal batteries, fabricating experimental coin cells is the fundamental first step.

Researchers have long faced a universal pain point: they have to source electrode coating equipment from one manufacturer and electrode die-cutting machines from another. Mismatched parameters across different machines lead to lengthy commissioning and debugging work, while the cumbersome procurement process for small-scale lab equipment drastically slows down the R&D progress of new materials.

Xiamen AOAO New Energy Technology (AOAO lab) has officially released two self-developed lab-scale pieces of equipment: a compact lab electrode coating machine and a battery electrode die-cutting machine. Following the simultaneous launch of the two new products, paired with the company’s existing complete lineup of roller presses, vacuum sealing machines, glove boxes, battery capacity testers, spot welders and other devices, AOAO has built a full closed-loop equipment chain covering every stage of coin cell manufacturing—from slurry coating and electrode calendering, to die-cutting, sealing and performance testing, enabling one-stop procurement of all equipment for coin cell research.

According to AOAO lab’s R&D lead, the newly launched compact coating machine is tailor-made for small-batch lab sample preparation. Its compact footprint fits standard lab workbenches and delivers precise control over coating thickness, compatible with slurry coating for traditional lithium-ion cathodes/anodes, as well as lithium metal and sodium metal materials. The matching electrode die-cutting machine accurately cuts standard coin cell electrodes with smooth, burr-free edges, eliminating the risk of battery short circuits caused by rough electrode margins, making it ideal for lab-scale trial and pilot research.

“Procuring lab equipment used to be extremely troublesome for university labs. Coaters, die cutters and roller presses were sourced from separate vendors with inconsistent dimensions and operating standards; our researchers would spend one to two weeks just coordinating equipment debugging,” shared a professor from the electrochemistry department of a university. By filling the gap of core coating and die-cutting equipment, AOAO delivers fully integrated, matched machinery, allowing labs to coordinate procurement, installation and after-sales service with a single supplier, drastically cutting procurement and maintenance costs for laboratory equipment.

Beyond core processing equipment, AOAO lab also provides a full range of supporting battery consumables, including coin cell cases, lithium metal foils, sodium metal sheets, battery Electrolytes and separators. Whether for research on conventional lithium-ion batteries, sodium-ion batteries, or cutting-edge lithium metal solid-state batteries, research teams can source all required experimental equipment and materials in one place, without the need to coordinate multiple suppliers.

Xiamen AOAO New Energy focuses on integrated solution design for electrochemical laboratories. Centered on addressing real pain points of R&D teams from universities and new energy firms, the company continuously upgrades its full product portfolio including calendering, coating, die-cutting, vacuum sealing and testing equipment. The release of these two new products marks the completion of AOAO’s fully closed product line for coin cell lab equipment.

Moving forward, the company will further optimize the performance of lab-scale equipment to meet the research demands of solid-state batteries and metal anode batteries. It will deliver more comprehensive equipment support for domestic innovation in new energy and battery materials, accelerating the commercial rollout of next-generation coin cells for daily consumer goods such as smart wearable devices and portable medical electronics.
