Claim:
1. A device for producing a packaged electrode having an electrode sandwiched between a pair of separators, the device comprising: a conveyance unit configured to sequentially overlay the electrode and the pair of separators from a front end side in a conveying direction while conveying the electrode and the pair of separators; a joining unit comprising a controller programmed to control operations of the conveyance unit, the joining unit, and the clamp member, wherein the controller is programmed to drive the joining unit to repeatedly perform joining a plurality of times from the front end side in the conveying direction, each of the joining being performed while moving the joining unit so that a speed of the joining unit relative to a conveyance speed of a workpiece in the conveying direction approaches zero, wherein the controller is programmed to drive the joining chip to sequentially join together the lateral edges of the pair of separators being sequentially overlaid while being conveyed by the conveyance unit, wherein the controller is programmed to, upon performing each of the joining, drive the conveyance unit and the joining unit to move the pair of separators together with the joining unit, while clamping the pair of separators with the clamp member, and wherein the controller is programmed to drive the joining chip to start performing the joining when a movement speed of the joining unit in the conveying direction becomes constant.
