METHOD FOR PRODUCING AN ARRESTER FOIL FOR BATTERIES

1 . A method for producing an arrester foil for a battery, comprising:

preparing a roll with a metallic raw foil, and

while the roll is being continuously unrolled at an advancing speed in an advancing direction, cutting out, using a laser cutting group, connections in an edge area of the unwound raw foil extending along the advancing direction.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein a cutting point of the laser cutting group is set as a function of the advancing speed.

3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein edges of the connections that run perpendicular to the advancing direction are created by guiding the cutting point at an angle that is diagonal to the advancing direction, whereby a component of the cutting speed that runs perpendicular to the advancing direction is selected as a function of the advancing speed.

4 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein edges of the connections that run perpendicular to the advancing direction are created by guiding the cutting point at an angle that is diagonal to the advancing direction, whereby the angle is selected as a function of the advancing speed.

5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the laser cutting group is moved in the advancing direction at the advancing speed while each of the connections is being cut out.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the part of the raw foil that already has the connections is once again rolled up.

7 . A production device for producing an arrester foil, comprising:

a receiving station for a roll comprising a metallic raw foil,

an unwinding device for unwinding the roll, and

a laser cutting group,

wherein the production device is operated by the method according to claim 1 .
