Electrode Plate Laser Cutting With Vision-Based Misalignment Correction

The vision portion detects misalignment of the electrode plate before laser cutting occurs, and the controller pre-calculates and adjusts the laser beam irradiation position based on the detected misalignment. This preliminary detection and correction action ensures that even though the plate is moving in roll-to-roll transport, the cutting operation maintains high precision by compensating for misalignment in advance.

The vision portion continuously monitors the position of the electrode plate during roll-to-roll transport and provides real-time feedback to the controller. The controller then adjusts the laser cutting position based on this feedback, creating a closed-loop control system that maintains manufacturing precision despite the continuous movement and potential misalignment inherent in roll-to-roll processing.

The system dynamically adjusts the laser beam irradiation position based on real-time detection of electrode plate misalignment. The controller modifies the cutting path coordinates according to the detected plate position, allowing the laser cutting process to maintain precision even while the plate is moving through the system in roll-to-roll manner.

Instead of using a mechanical system to physically stop and position the electrode plate for cutting (which would reduce productivity), the patent uses a vision-based detection system combined with controller calculations to optically track and compensate for plate position. This substitution of mechanical positioning with optical detection and computational correction maintains both high speed and high precision.
