Abstract: An apparatus for stacking electrode assemblies includes: a magazine, a loading plate, a lifting member, a receiver, and an auxiliary lifting mechanism. The magazine has a magazine frame defines a storage space within which electrode assemblies can be stacked and stored. The loading plate is configured to support the electrode assemblies and has a through hole. The lifting member is positioned in the magazine frame and is coupled to the loading plate so as to vertically displace the loading plate within the magazine frame. The receiver is positioned above the magazine frame and is movable between a loading position (to temporarily support the electrode assemblies) and a retracted position (to transfer the electrode assemblies to the loading plate). The auxiliary lifting mechanism is coupled to the loading plate and includes an auxiliary lift configured to advance through the through hole of the loading plate.

Abstract: An apparatus for inspecting a failure of an electrode assembly before injecting an electrolyte includes a short-circuit tester configured to detect a short circuit of the electrode assembly by applying a predetermined voltage to a positive electrode and a negative electrode of the electrode assembly; a multimeter electrically connected to the short-circuit tester and configured to measure a voltage and a current of the electrode assembly over time; and a failure determination part connected to the multimeter and configured to monitor changes in voltage and current measured by the multimeter and determine a type of a failure of the electrode assembly from data on the changes in voltage and current over a predetermined period of time. A method of inspecting a failure of an electrode assembly using the same is also provided.

Abstract: A system and method for manufacturing a secondary battery, in which air is suctioned in an opposite direction of a transfer direction inside a loading part to prevent a radical unit, which freely drops at an initial speed in the transfer direction, from colliding with the loading part, thereby reducing folding short defects that occur in a subsequent process.
The system for manufacturing the secondary battery includes a transfer part configured to transfer a radical unit, a loading part configured to allow the radical unit transferred by the transfer part to drop in a direction of gravity so as to load the radical unit, and an intake part configured to suction air inside an inner space of the loading part from a side surface of the loading part.
