Slitting, which is supposed to be one of the most critical processes in Li-Ion battery manufacturing, is supposed to cut off the uncoated parts of the foil, and cut the wide foils into the size of the Li-ion batteries. Vibrations of slitting machines are the most critical factors for uneven cut surface such as surface roughness and burr, which are the main reasons of the tearing of microporous membranes to separate the cathodes and the anodes, and eventually causing explosion of the batteries. In this study, the structure of a slitting machine has been analyzed through computer simulations to figure out the main reasons of the vibrations. The result of the study shows that simple design alterations of the supporting area and roller without modifying the main structure of the machine can suppress the vibrations effectively, and further to prevent the devastating explosion.

A slitter, also called a roll slitter or rewinding machine, is a sort of machinery to cut sheet materials in rolls continuously in the longitudinal direction. Recently slitter line users have requiring higher wuality and precision in products in addition to high productivity. In this paper, on effect of clearance on shear planes in slitting of S.K.B(shrinkage Bnad) is performed by using finite element method. The results obtained are as follows: (1)Load stroke curves show decreasing maximum force when increasing the clearance. (2)Effective strain decreases when the clearance increases. (3)Deformation is concentrated along the very narrow shear band.

Spent fuel decladding device and dry voloxidizer is to separate the spent pellet from spent fuel rod cut by 250mm and to convert the spent pellet into powder form for reuse and/or disposal of the spent fuel. There are two methods in decladding and voloxidation of spent fuel, that is, wet method with chemical material and dry method with mechanical device. In this study, to examine the fuel rod decladding process and the pellet voloxidation process, the devices for the spent fuel decladding and the pellet voloxidation with dry method are developed. The decladding machine is designed to separate pellets from fuel rod by slitting device. And, the voloxidizer is designed to convert the spent pellet which is ceramic form into powder form by oxidation using the multi step mesh, vibrator, and air in the high temperature environment. The result of this study, such as operation condition et., will be utilized in the design of the machine for demonstration.

We developed that the film fibers which was vacuum-metalized silver on the PET film played a part increasing durable on the alkali, antibiotic and another functional property. For this usage, PET film fibers with fine denier vacuum-metalized silver manufactured through changing the micro slitting machine's drive process.

This study deals with the irradiation effects on some selected components which are being used in an Advanced Spent Fuel Conditioning Process (ACP). Irradiation test components have a higher priority from the aspect of their reliability because their degradation or failure is able to critically affect the performance of an ACP equipment. Components that we chose for the irradiation tests were the AC servo motor, potentiometer, thermocouples, accelerometer and CCD camera. ACP facility has a number of AC servo motors to move the joints of a manipulator and to operate process equipment. Potentiometers are used for a measurement of several joint angles in a manipulator. Thermocouples are used for a temperature measurement in an electrolytic reduction reactor, a vol-oxidation reactor and a molten salt transfer line. An accelerometer is installed in a slitting machine to forecast an incipient failure during a slitting process. A small CCD camera is used for an in-situ vision monitoring between ACP campaigns. We made use of a gamma-irradiation facility with cobalt-60 source for an irradiation test on the above components because gamma rays from among various radioactive rays are the most significant for electric, electronic and robotic components. Irradiation tests were carried out for enough long time for total doses to be over expected threshold values. Other components except the CCD camera showed a very high radiation hardening characteristic. Characteristic changes at different total doses were investigated and threshold values to warrant at least their performance without a deterioration were evaluated as a result of the irradiation tests.
