Method for cutting a continuous battery electrode material for producing battery electrodes, comprising the following steps: • providing a continuous battery electrode material; • providing a transport device, which is designed to move the continuous battery electrode material in a direction of movement from a starting point over a machining region to an end point, the transport device comprising at least two transport units (16, 42) in the form of transport belts; • providing at least one laser cutting device, which comprises at least two laser cutting elements (44, 46) and is designed to machine the continuous battery electrode material; • machining the continuous battery electrode material during a movement in the direction of movement by means of the at least one cutting device, so that at least one machining step is carried out on the continuous battery electrode material, at least one width dimension and/or an internal dimension of at least one of the at least two transport units (16, 42) being smaller at least in one region than at least one width dimension and/or an internal dimension of the continuous battery electrode material, so that the continuous battery electrode material projects, at least by one end of a broad side, beyond the at least one transport belt (16, 42) and/or projects, at least in an inner region, beyond the at least one transport belt (16, 42), so that the continuous battery electrode material can be freely machined in this region and/or between the two transport belts (16, 42) by means of the at least two laser cutting elements (44, 46), characterized in that the inner dimension of the at least one transport belt represents a substantially triangular shape of the transport belt in this region, a tip of this shape being aligned substantially centrally in relation to a broad side of the transport belt counter to the direction of movement, the laser beams from the two laser cutting elements (44, 46) being aimed at a starting position located substantially centrally on the arriving continuous battery electrode material, and the battery electrodes being separated starting from this starting position substantially in parallel with the outer edges of the second transport unit, the cutting process not being performed over the second transport unit, but on the overlapping region of the continuous battery electrode material. • providing a continuous battery electrode material; • providing a transport device, which is designed to move the continuous battery electrode material in a direction of movement from a starting point over a machining region to an end point, the transport device comprising at least two transport units (16, 42) in the form of transport belts; • providing at least one laser cutting device, which comprises at least two laser cutting elements (44, 46) and is designed to machine the continuous battery electrode material; • machining the continuous battery electrode material during a movement in the direction of movement by means of the at least one cutting device, so that at least one machining step is carried out on the continuous battery electrode material, at least one width dimension and/or an internal dimension of at least one of the at least two transport units (16, 42) being smaller at least in one region than at least one width dimension and/or an internal dimension of the continuous battery electrode material, so that the continuous battery electrode material projects, at least by one end of a broad side, beyond the at least one transport belt (16, 42) and/or projects, at least in an inner region, beyond the at least one transport belt (16, 42), so that the continuous battery electrode material can be freely machined in this region and/or between the two transport belts (16, 42) by means of the at least two laser cutting elements (44, 46), characterized in that the inner dimension of the at least one transport belt represents a substantially triangular shape of the transport belt in this region, a tip of this shape being aligned substantially centrally in relation to a broad side of the transport belt counter to the direction of movement, the laser beams from the two laser cutting elements (44, 46) being aimed at a starting position located substantially centrally on the arriving continuous battery electrode material, and the battery electrodes being separated starting from this starting position substantially in parallel with the outer edges of the second transport unit, the cutting process not being performed over the second transport unit, but on the overlapping region of the continuous battery electrode material.
