Notching Apparatus

Abstract

A notching apparatus relates to a notching apparatus for notching an electrode sheet used in a secondary battery, the notching apparatus including: an ablation laser source unit configured to radiate ablation laser that performs an ablation operation on the electrode sheet; a notching laser source unit configured to radiate notching laser, wherein the notching laser is emitted to the place, in which the ablation operation has been performed by the ablation laser, to notch the electrode sheet; and an integral scanner unit to which the ablation laser radiated from the ablation laser source unit and the notching laser radiated from the notching laser source unit are incident. The integral scanner unit allows the ablation laser and the notching laser to be emitted to positions adjacent to each other on the electrode sheet.
