Electrode roll connection automation apparatus

Abstract

An electrode roll connection automation apparatus is configured for uniformly maintaining the width of electrode tabs in a process of connecting electrode sheets to each other and for automatically connecting the electrode sheets to each other. The electrode roll connection automation apparatus includes first and second supply units, a connection unit, and an electrode tab sensing unit. The first and the second supply units are configured to supply first and second electrode sheets, respectively, on which electrode tabs are formed. The connection unit is configured to connect the first electrode sheet and the second electrode sheet to each other. The electrode tab sensing unit is disposed between the first supply unit and the connection unit. The electrode tab sensing unit is configured to measure the distance between the electrode tabs.
