This application discloses an electrode plate rolling apparatus and an electrode plate rolling method that are configured to roll an electrode plate. The electrode plate includes a coated region and an uncoated region. The electrode plate rolling apparatus includes a roller group, a heating part, and a cooling part. The heating part is configured to heat the electrode plate, and the cooling part is configured to cool the electrode plate. The heating part further includes an extension assembly, and the extension assembly can extend the uncoated region when the heating part heats the electrode plate. The electrode plate passes through the cooling part after passing through the heating part. The heating part and the cooling part are configured to reduce a difference between an extensibility parameter of the uncoated region and an extensibility parameter of the coated region.

A device and method for coating and curing a protective layer on large format graphics comprises a roll-to-roll machine having a coat stage and a cure stage. A roll of printed web material turns about a load reel, passing through the coat stage and cure stage, and is wound around a finish reel. The load and finish reels may be driven by servo-motors. The coat stage comprises a coat pan which is partially filled with coating liquid and a Mayer bar for removing excess coating liquid. The cure stage comprises a light source and a plate. One or more devices, such as idler rollers, dancer rollers, stationary rollers, or load cells, are placed between the load and finish reels to control the path, tension, and speed of the web material.
