Apparatus and Method for Manufacturing Electrode

Abstract

An apparatus for manufacturing an electrode according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: a transfer unit configured to transfer a sheet-shaped current collector; an application unit configured to apply a matte layer having reflectance less than that of the current collector on a first area including an edge portion in a width direction of the current collector; a coating unit configured to applying an electrode active material on a second area including a central portion in the width direction of the current collector and disposed at one side of the first area; a non-contact temperature sensor configured to measure a temperature of the matte layer; and a notching unit configured to notch the current collector so as to remove the matte layer and form an electrode tab.
