Abstract:
1. A lamination apparatus for laminating sheet members including an electrode and a packed electrode formed by sandwiching another electrode with different polarity from polarity of the electrode between two separators, the apparatus comprising: a table on which the sheet members are laminated; a hand that is moved downward from a position above the table to laminate the sheet members on the table; a clamper that presses an assembled laminate of the sheet members laminated on the table, a clamper drive unit that horizontally rotates and vertically moves the clamper; and a level adjuster that moves the table downward relative to the clamper according to a lamination progress of the sheet members, wherein, when a new sheet member is laminated on the assembled laminate that is pressed downward by the clamper, the clamper drive unit lifts up the clamper above the new sheet member while rotating the clamper and then moves the clamper downward to press the new sheet member from above, and the level adjuster moves the table downward by a stroke length corresponding to thickness of the new sheet member so that an uppermost surface of the assembled laminate is kept at a constant height level.
