An Apparatus And Method For Molding Pouch

An apparatus for molding a pouch, comprising:

• a transfer device configured to transfer a pouch film;
• a molding device configured to press a top surface of the pouch film into a mold to form an accommodation part for accommodating an electrode assembly;
• and
• an inspection device configured to calculate a depth value of the accommodation part formed in the pouch film and compare the calculated depth value with a set input value range so as to inspect for defects,
• wherein the inspection device comprises:
• a distance measuring member positioned at a reference point set above the pouch film to measure each of a first measurement value of a first distance from the reference point to the pouch film connected to an upper end of the accommodation part and a second measurement value of a second distance from the reference point to a bottom surface of the accommodation part;
• and
• an inspection member configured to calculate a depth value of the accommodation part by subtracting the first measurement value from the second measurement value, wherein if the depth value is within a set input value range, then the depth value indicates no defect, and if the depth value is outside of the set input value range, then the depth value indicates a defect.
