Abstract:
1. A fuel cell manufacturing method for obtaining a fuel cell by manufacturing unit fuel cells, by providing positive and negative electrodes on sides of an electrolyte membrane and providing separators on outer faces of said positive and negative electrodes, and stacking together a multiple of such unit fuel cells, said method comprising the steps of: loading multiple unit fuel cells onto a leaning inclined stage in a stacked state; supporting left and right sides of the stacked multiple unit fuel cells; aligning the multiple unit fuel cells with a vibrating action while lowering the inclined stage to a horizontal position; disposing first and second support plates on end faces of the aligned multiple unit fuel cells; applying a predetermined pressing force to the multiple unit fuel cells via the first and second support plates; and connecting the first and second support plates together with connection members while applying the predetermined pressing force to the multiple unit fuel cells.
