Description
Spot Welding Machine for 18650 Cylinder Cells | Nickel Tab Welder | GN-G800W | CE/ISO Certified

Product Overview
The GN-G800W Spot Welding Machine is a precision-engineered pneumatic single-point welding system designed specifically for professional lithium-ion battery research and production. We developed this advanced spot welding machine to meet the demanding requirements of cylinder cell assembly, particularly for welding nickel tabs to the bottom of 18650 and similar cylindrical battery cases.
This specialized spot welding machine excels at welding the cylinder cell’s negative terminal (nickel tab) to the bottom of the cylinder case. A 2mm diameter × 180mm length welding needle is easily inserted into the cylinder case to reach the bottom for precise, reliable welds.
Furthermore, this spot welding machine is controlled by a microcontroller, making it very easy to operate while providing stable, consistent performance. The unique design ensures beautiful weld spots with no sparks and stable welding current, resulting in high-quality connections essential for battery performance and safety.

How This Spot Welding Machine Works
Step 1: Cell and Tab Preparation
First, you prepare the cylinder cell case and the nickel tab to be welded. The tab is positioned at the bottom of the case where the negative terminal connection will be made.
Step 2: Needle Insertion
The 2mm diameter × 180mm welding needle is inserted into the cylinder case, reaching down to the bottom where the nickel tab is positioned.
Step 3: Parameter Adjustment
You adjust the welding parameters based on your specific materials:
- Welding current: 0-99A – set according to tab thickness
- Pressure: Independently adjusted on the welding needle
- Pulse mode: Select monopulse, dipulse, or multiple-pulse via microcontroller
Step 4: Welding Operation
When activated, the pneumatic system applies controlled pressure through the needle. The microcontroller delivers precise welding current pulses, creating a clean, strong weld between the nickel tab and the case bottom.
Step 5: Quality Result
The result is a beautiful weld spot with no sparks, stable current, and a reliable electrical connection essential for battery performance.
