Electrode Formation Worker (Secondary Battery Manufacturing)
でんきょくかせいこう
Industry & Occupation
Classification
Summary
This occupation handles the formation process for electrodes used in secondary batteries, operating and managing the manufacturing line from coating active material slurry to drying, rolling, and slitting.
Description
Electrode Formation Workers (Secondary Battery Manufacturing) are responsible for a series of formation processes, including uniformly applying active material slurry to aluminum or copper foil, managing temperature and humidity for drying, rolling with a calendar, and cutting with a slitter. They operate and maintain manufacturing equipment (coater, drying oven, calendar, slitter), prepare slurry, conduct quality inspections (thickness measurement, appearance inspection, specific resistance measurement), and pursue reduction in defect rates and productivity improvements. They also pay attention to safety and hygiene management, optimize process parameters, and perform troubleshooting.
Future Outlook
With the expansion of demand for secondary batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy, the demand for formation process operators is expected to remain stable. Due to automation of production lines and development of new materials, opportunities to acquire highly specialized skills are also expected to increase.
