A method of producing a fuel cell by layering a large number of sheets of unit fuel cells (). A first supporting plate () is placed at the front section of a pusher unit () in a slightly inclined, upward facing position, and then a large number of sheets of unit fuel cells are layered on the first supporting plate (). After that, while making the pusher unit fall into a horizontal position, vibration is applied to the layered unit fuel cells for alignment. A second supporting plate () is provided at the front end surface of the aligned unit fuel cells. The first and second supporting plates are connected using connection plates () while a predetermined pressing force is applied to the unit fuel cells through the first supporting plate and the second supporting plate.

Fuel cell producing method and apparatus

A supporting frame supports a measuring head which has mounted thereon a measuring element which abuts with a reference surface of a wheel mounting member so as to be inclinable about a camber axis and a toe axis. A plurality of holding arms which can be opened and closed are provided on this supporting frame. Each of the holding arms is provided with a roller. The wheel mounting member is held by these rollers in a diametrically aligned condition. Each of these rollers is made of an elastic member and is rotatably supported by fitting onto a roller axis which is parallel with a tangential line of the wheel mounting member at a point of abutment of each of the rollers with the wheel mounting member. The wheel mounting member is thus made free to incline. A suspension is moved up and down by vertically driving the supporting frame. The toe change characteristics and the camber change characteristics as a result of this vertical movement are compared with reference change characteristics to thereby discriminate the assembling accuracy of the suspension.

Apparatus for measuring alignment of suspension and method of inspecting

A primer applicator which is movable along a surface of a workpiece such as an automobile window glass panel has a rotatable primer coating roller having an outer circumferential layer of soft resin. A robot arm which supports the primer applicator is actuated to move the primer applicator along the surface of the workpiece in rolling contact therewith to apply a primer to the surface of the workpiece. The primer is supplied to the outer circumferential layer of the primer coating roller when the primer coating roller rolls on the surface of the workpiece.
