System and method for dynamic accumulator and singulating rotor

A system for separating and cutting a film, comprising:

• a rotating body having at least two substantially flat faces, wherein the at least two substantially flat faces are configured for receiving a film material and rotate in an indexing or stepwise motion;
• a cutting device having a cutting edge, wherein the cutting edge is configured to cut the film material while it is adhered to one of the at least two faces of the rotating body during the indexing or stepwise motion;
• and
• a dynamic accumulation device for transferring the film material to the singulation device, wherein the dynamic accumulation device is configured to receive the film material at a constant rate and output it to the singulation device at a varying rate.

A method for singulating separator material, comprising:

• configuring a body having a flat face to receive a film material;
• rotate the body in an indexing or stepwise motion;
• and
• positioning a cutting device having an edge configured to cut the film material while it is adhered to the flat face of the body during the indexing or stepwise motion.
