METHOD FOR CALENDERING AN ELECTRODE TAPE, AND CALENDERING DEVICE
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18763751 titled 'METHOD FOR CALENDERING AN ELECTRODE TAPE, AND CALENDERING DEVICE
Original Abstract Submitted
A method for calendering an electrode tape via a calendering process, in which an electrode tape is passed through a roller gap of a pair of rollers of a calendering device, namely by compressing the electrode tape. During the calendering process a defect detection step is carried out, in which at least one defect of the electrode tape is directly or indirectly detected. If a defect is detected during the defect detection step, the pair of rollers is adjusted from a calendering position of the pair of rollers to an open position of the pair of rollers in an opening step, and this is before the defect reaches the roller gap. The defect detection step and/or the opening step is carried out, preferably automatically or fully automatically, via an open-loop and/or closed-loop control system of the calendering device.
