How Often should the laser box be cleaned?

Every 6 hours

100

The engineering requirements, used for judging the acceptability of a particular product/service based on product characteristics, such as appearance, performance and size.

What am I?

Specification

What's the assembly process flow?

Laser cutting, winding, tab flattening, Hi-pot 1, Disk welding, taping, Hi-pot 2, Can loading, can washing, Jelly Roll insert, Positive terminal welding, Helium leakage testing, rivet welding, negative terminal welding, can grooving, Hi-pot 3, X-ray overhang

What are the 4 Major processes in winding

Load the slit roll, Laser cut tabs into foil, wind the foils into jelly rolls and tab flattening

100

What's the purpose of the Hi-pot?

To ensure the anode and cathode foils are not touching to prevent short circut

200

What are the functions of the MES

The MES tracks the Winder’s production processes, including production rates, cycle times, and machine status

200

the “beat” of customer demand—the time required between completions of successive units of end product

What am I?

Takt time

200

How far away are the two set of sensors from the electrode or separator edge

20-30mm

200

Explain the difference between Positive terminal welding and Rivet Welding?

Positive terminal welding is when we weld through the open section of the positive terminal to the cathode disk of the Jelly Roll. Rivet welding is when we weld the cathode disk in 4 spots and around the edge of the can.

What do you do before placing the rolls into the machine to ensure proper identification or tracking?

Scan the roll

400

What is the ideal state for just-in-time production where the practice is to make one part and move one part, at the pace of takt time to meet (internal or external) customer demand?
