Abstract: Proposed is an apparatus for inspecting and repairing a dispensed viscous fluid, the apparatus including a dispenser module dispensing a viscous fluid on a workpiece, a vision module generating original images by photographing the viscous fluid dispensed on the workpiece, a robot module moving the dispenser module and the vision module through predetermined paths, respectively, and a control module determining whether a defective part exists in the dispensed viscous fluid by analyzing the original images and controlling the dispenser module and the robot module to dispense a viscous fluid to a defective part when the defective part exists. Accordingly, a defect occurring in the viscous fluid dispensed on the workpiece can be repaired, and furthermore, the shape of the viscous fluid in the repaired part can be formed by using a correction module, thereby improving application quality.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a battery cell stack, a lower battery cell and an upper battery cell are aligned with an bonding space therebetween in a stacking direction of battery cells. A distance in the stacking direction between an upper surface of the lower battery cell and a lower surface of the upper battery cell is continuously measured along a length direction or a width direction of the battery cells to derive a bonding space profile. An adhesive resin composition is sprayed along the length direction or the width direction while changing a moving rate of a nozzle based on a thickness of the profile. The lower surface of the upper battery cell are attached onto the sprayed adhesive resin composition.

Abstract: In a method of manufacturing a battery module, a plurality of battery cells each of which includes a pouch case including an inactive adhesive layer formed on an outer surface thereof and an electrode assembly accommodated in the pouch case are prepared. An energy is applied to the inactive adhesive layer of each of the battery cells to form an adhesive layer having an increased adhesion. The battery cells including the adhesive layer are stacked so that the adhesive layer is interposed between neighboring battery cells.

Abstract: An apparatus for dispensing a viscous fluid includes a dispenser module including a nozzle which dispenses a viscous fluid according to a profile; a robot module configured to move the nozzle according to the profile; a vision module configured to generate an image by photographing a workpiece to which the viscous fluid is dispensed; and a control module configured to integrally control the dispenser module and the robot module based on the image received from the vision module to dispense the viscous fluid according to the profile, wherein, in order to generate the profile, the control module provides a user with an interface which enables the user to input a pattern of the viscous fluid in such a way as to draw the pattern on the image. A user may freely generate a pattern of a viscous fluid, and may accurately dispense the viscous fluid according to the generated pattern.
