Abstract
A manufacturing apparatus for a fuel cell stack includes a pressing unit, an overall load detection unit, and an electrode load detection unit. The pressing unit presses the entirety of a stack body containing multiple power generation cells stacked together, along a stacking direction. The overall load detection unit detects an overall load acting on the entire stack body including a seal stack portion in which seal members are stacked and an electrode stack portion in which electrodes are stacked when the stack body is pressed by the pressing unit. The electrode load detection unit detects an electrode load acting on the electrode stack portion when the stack body is pressed by the pressing unit.
