An apparatus for splicing comprises a first web support surface configured to support a traveling web thereon and a second web support surface configured to support a replacement web thereon. The first traveling web travels in a machine direction. The splicing assembly also comprises a first web sensor and a web joiner. A controller is configured to determine, via the first web sensor, a position of a trailing end of the traveling web and to, in response to determining the position of the trailing end, cause a leading end of the replacement web to be positioned adjacently to the trailing end. The computer is also configured to control the web joiner to create a joint coupling the trailing end to the leading end.

An automatic supply apparatus of secondary battery electrodes, which includes an electrode supply hoist 120; a supply shuttle 130 receiving electrodes in the form of reels from the electrode supply hoist 120; a first unwinder 140 and a second unwinder 150 disposed at a position the supply shuttle 130 comes forward. A notching facility 110 is disposed at a position where the supply shuttle 130 comes forward, and the first unwinder 140 is disposed in the notching facility 110, the second unwinder 150 is mounted on the notching facility 110 and disposed at a downward position of the first unwinder 140, and a tape supply device 160 is provided at a front position of the notching facility 110 so as to be disposed above the first unwinder 140. The present invention provides a system in which one automatic supply shuttle moves in the Y-axis direction to feed multiple notching facilities, and can fully automatically feed and connect without help of an operator, thereby reducing the number of workers, achieving the effect of reducing space and reducing costs compared to the conventional system.
