Description

Reel take-out device for Reel to Reel production equipment

The present invention relates to a reel take-out device for reel-to-reel production equipment, and more particularly, a plurality of materials are arranged on a transport bogie in a process of manufacturing secondary batteries, etc., and each material supplied in the form of a reel is individually supplied It relates to a reel take-out device for supplying to production equipment.

In general, in the process of manufacturing secondary batteries, raw materials for manufacturing secondary batteries or secondary batteries that have been manufactured are transferred to the next process in the form of a reel wound on a core with an empty center. Because raw materials are bulky and heavy, workers cannot transport them manually, and they are transported between processes using a separate transport cart.

Here, the transport bogie can be classified into manned transport operated manually by a worker or unmanned transport operated according to a pre-entered program according to a driving method, and each transport bogie moves with a plurality of reels mounted thereon.

In the process of mounting a reel on a transport bogie or supplying the mounted reel to production equipment, there is a problem in that the time required for work increases and the labor cost of the worker increases because the operator checks the position and direction of the reel, and the production equipment There was a problem in that the reel was damaged during docking or un-docking.

In particular, since the reel is a bulky and high-load article as described above, a separate transport device must be used even in the process of manually moving the reel. There is a problem in that the efficiency of the manufacturing process is low because the problem of damage or breakage occurs, and the working time required for the process of mounting or taking out the reel is increased.
