  • Patent number: 12639801
    Abstract: A method for determining a position of corners of polygonal electrode sheets in at least one corner region of an electrode assembly stack, comprising the steps: 3D imaging of the corner region of the electrode assembly stack in an imaging region by means of an imaging process, so that a data set is created that includes 3D position information on the electrode sheets in the corner region of the electrode assembly stack relative to a carrier or to a marker arranged in the imaging region; and determining, from the data set, a first and a second edge profile of the edges framing the corner region of each electrode sheet. A position of the corner of the respective electrode sheet is determined on the basis of the edge profile. The electrode sheets and the edges thereof can be determined via a neural network system.

  • Patent number: 12607575
    Abstract: A method for determining the placement accuracy of a plurality of electrode sheets, wherein the electrode sheets extend on mutually parallel planes and are stacked on top of one another and form a stack; wherein the placement accuracy describes positions of the edges of all of the electrode sheets relative to one another in the stack; wherein the method is carried out using a measuring device having a two-dimensionally resolving X-ray system with at least one beam source for X-ray radiation and a detector.

  • Patent number: 12500277
    Abstract: A method for producing a cell stack (57) for battery cells (8) comprises at least the following steps: a) feeding in at least a first material strip (3) comprising a first material; b) making a first cut into at least the first material strip (3), thereby forming at least one strip-like transport section (18) having tensile strength; c) combining the first material strip (3) with at least a second material strip (22, 27) comprising a second material, in order to form a partial stack (31); d) attaching the partial stack (31) thus formed at a first attachment site by means of a first movable clamping apparatus (32); e) replenishing at least one material strip (22, 27) and attaching the partial stack (31) thus formed at a second attachment site by means of a second movable clamping apparatus; f) making a second cut of the attached partial stack (31), whereby the transport section (18) is cut off; g) opening the clamping apparatuses (32, 33); and h) arranging at least two partial stacks (31) to form a cell stack
