Patent ID: 8146648

Claim:
An apparatus for forming electrode heads, comprising: a first area provided with a first container containing wax; a first electrode head forming area provided with a plurality of first casting molds, and provided following the first area to perform a post-processing process to an electrode plate group from the first area; a second area provided with a second container containing wax; a second electrode head forming area provided with a plurality of second casting molds, and provided following the second area to perform a post-processing process to the electrode plate group from the second area; a first transfer unit provided with a first clamper which holds the electrode plate group and turns the electrode plate group around; a second transfer unit provided with a second clamper, and delivering the turned electrode plate group from the first transfer unit to the first area to dip the wax, the electrode plate group dipped with the wax being delivered to the first electrode head forming area and entering one of the first casting molds to form a first electrode head on the electrode plate group, and a third transfer unit provided with a third clamper which holds the electrode plate group with the first electrode head formed thereon and turns the electrode plate group with the first electrode head formed thereon around, the third transfer unit delivering the electrode plate group with the first electrode head formed thereon to the second area to dip the wax, the wax dipped electrode plate group with the first electrode head formed thereon being delivered to the second electrode head forming area and entering one of the second casting molds to form a second electrode head on the electrode plate group with the first electrode head formed thereon.
