Notching Technology | IMA Automation

Notching Technology

The Prismatic Anode & Cathode Notching system revolutionizes electrode manufacturing by combining precision, speed, and advanced automation. Each phase is designed to optimize workflow, minimize downtime, and ensure consistent quality. Thanks to its modular structure and integrated
functions, this technology is perfectly suited for any advanced industrial production environment.

Intelligent Reel Loading and Seamless Splicing

With a motorized reel support system and CPC detection technology, reel loading and material alignment are fast, accurate, and fully automated. The automatic splicing feature joins new reels seamlessly as the previous one nears completion, ensuring uninterrupted production and boosting efficiency. Zero downtime and fully automated reel management reduce manual intervention, increasing productivity and minimizing errors.



Optimal Material Tensioning and Stability

Maintaining ideal tension at every stage, the system’s tensioning unit ensures that the material remains stable and optimally positioned, reducing imperfections and production waste. This continuous control over tension and stability translates to higher efficiency and consistently high-quality output. Precise tension control minimizes waste and enhances the quality of every single electrode, leading to cost savings and consistent production quality.

High-Precision Laser Notching and Quality Control

The heart of our system lies in its high-power laser notching unit, equipped with dual lasers for unparalleled accuracy in electrode cuts. The particle extraction system keeps the area clean and free of contaminants, ensuring a safe and spotless work environment. To uphold stringent quality standards, our integrated CCD vision inspection system continuously analyzes coating depth and notch placement, offering an advanced quality assurance solution with unmatched accuracy.

Cleaning and Tab Management

For superior cleanliness, the system features a dedicated cleaning unit that removes any residue from the electrode tabs, both top and bottom, at each stage. This thorough cleaning enhances the durability, quality, and consistency of each electrode, delivering an end product with improved longevity and reliability.

Accurate Cutting and Controlled Rewinding

Following the notching process, the cutting station divides the material into precise halves, supporting easy and quick adjustments for efficient processing. The rewinding system then takes over, maintaining optimal tension and automatically splicing to new mandrels when needed, allowing continuous operation without any downtime. This smart setup ensures a smooth, uninterrupted production cycle.

Maximum Safety with AGV Integration

The Prismatic Anode Notching system is designed to seamlessly integrate with AGVs, supporting a fully automated, safe, and highly efficient production environment. By minimizing human intervention, this system not only improves safety but also enhances productivity, offering a flexible, high-performance technology for forward-thinking manufacturing operations.
