LAMINATION DEVICE AND LAMINATION METHOD

摘要

The objective of the present invention is to provide a lamination device and lamination method that are able to laminate a sheet member without greatly deforming the sheet member when laminating the sheet member. The lamination device laminates a sheet member containing an electrode and/or a separator. The lamination device is provided with: a table at which the sheet member is laminated; a clamper that presses downwards the laminate of the sheet member laminated on the table; a clamper drive unit that causes vertical movement and horizontal rotation of the clamper; and a height adjustment unit that, in accordance with the progress of lamination of the sheet member, relatively lowers the table with respect to the clamper. After a new sheet member has been laminated onto the laminate being pressed downwards by the clamper, the clamper drive unit raises the clamper above the new sheet member while rotating the clamper, and then lowers the clamper, pressing the new sheet member from above. The height adjustment unit lowers the table by a thickness corresponding to the number of laminated sheet members contained in the laminate.
