Objectives and Results

-    Increased process understanding during calendering by means of an additional module (e.g. influence of different substrate films on the formation of wrinkles)
-    (Partial) automation of the start-up process to avoid web tears
-    Increased process speed and transfer to multi-lane coated electrodes

Contents and Approach

-    Requirements definition and defect classification
-    Experimental process modeling
-    Material characterization
-    Modeling
-    Process automation
-    Technology transfer and validation
