MUMBAI, India, Aug. 10 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641089517 A) filed by Indian Institute Of Technology Madras Iit Madras on July 23, 2026, for Integrated Machine For Grooving, Seaming, And Sealing Cylindrical Cases Of Variable Dimensions And Method Thereof..
Inventors include Tiju Thomas; Sandeep Kumar; and Aswin Beckham Nirmal.
The application for the patent was published on July 31, 2026, under issue no. 31/2026.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an integrated machine (100) for grooving, seaming, and sealing cylindrical cases of variable dimensions, such as battery and supercapacitor housings. The machine (100) comprises a fixed base (102) supporting a centrally aligned gripper assembly (104) comprising a linkage mechanism connected to at least one V-profiled cylinder case holder (212) for accommodating cylindrical cases of variable dimensions. A rotational drive arrangement rotates the cylindrical case about a central processing axis, while a top die assembly (108) driven by at least one actuator (110) stabilizes the cap portion along a vertical axis. A dual finger assembly (112), mounted on a vertically movable support arm (302) driven by a stepper motor (106) and guided by guide rods (114/1, 114/2), selectively engages grooving, seaming, and sealing dies actuated through independent servo motors (304/1,304/2). The coordinated interaction of these components enables efficient multi-operation processing of cylindrical cases with improved flexibility.
