Abstract

Disclosed is a system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery, which includes an active material drying unit configured to dry an active material coated on an electrode current collector, and a tester unit configured to measure a dried state of the active material by performing a scratch test to the dried active material.

Claims (19)

1. A system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery, comprising:

an active material drying unit configured to dry an active material coated on an electrode current collector; and

a tester unit configured to measure a dried state of the active material by performing a scratch test to the dried active material.

2. The system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery according to claim 1 ,

wherein the tester unit measures a force applied to the tester unit when a scratch is generated at the electrode active material.

3. The system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a control unit configured to control a drying temperature of the drying unit according to a change of the force measured by the tester unit.

4. The system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a carrying unit configured to carrying the electrode current collector and the electrode.

5. The system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a coating unit configured to coat an electrode active material on the electrode current collector.

6. The system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery according to claim 1 ,

wherein the tester unit includes a scratch tester located on an electrode active material completely dried by the drying unit to generate a scratch on the electrode active material as the electrode moves.

7. The system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery according to claim 6 ,

wherein the tester unit further includes a rotary shaft connected to the scratch tester and installed so that the scratch tester is rotatable thereon.

8. The system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery according to claim 7 ,

wherein the tester unit further includes a torque sensor configured to measure a torque applied to the rotary shaft when the scratch is generated.

9. The system for manufacturing an electrode for a secondary battery according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a display unit configured to display the dried state of the active material, measured by the tester unit.
