PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a fuel battery stack manufacturing apparatus and a method that properly arranges an interposition layer between the outer peripheral surface of a fuel battery main body and the inner peripheral surface of a case.SOLUTION: A fuel battery stack manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing a fuel battery stack including a fuel battery main body 1, a case 2 for housing the fuel battery main body, and an interposition layer 3 disposed between the outer peripheral surface 1a of the fuel battery main body and the inner peripheral surface 2a of the case, comprises a clamping tool for clamping both ends of the fuel battery main body, and a compression tool 32 for compressing a pair of interposition layers disposed on a pair of outer peripheral surfaces 1a of the fuel battery main body so that the thickness of the interposition layers is less than the distance between the outer peripheral surface 1a and the inner peripheral surface 2a. The compression tool includes a pair of plate-like members 51, and a moving mechanism 52 for moving the pair of plate-like members disposed to confront the pair of interposition layers so that the pair of plate-like members approach to each other, thereby compressing the pair of interposition layers, and then moving the pair of plate-like members so that the pair of plate-like members separate from each other, thereby leaving the pair of plate-like members from the pair of interposition layers.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 |
