Abstract
A membrane/electrode assembly trimming apparatus () made up of a lower trimming die () on which a membrane/electrode assembly () is set, an upper trimming die () having a trimming blade () and a pressing member () which is ascend/descendably suspended from this upper trimming die and suction-holds a carbon electrode (). A membrane/electrode assembly carrying apparatus () including a pressing member which suction-grips a carbon electrode and prevents it from slipping sideways is also disclosed. Because the certainty of the positioning, fixing and trimming of the membrane/electrode assembly at the time of trimming is raised and positional slipping of the trimmed membrane/electrode assembly during carrying can be prevented, the performance of the fuel cell improves.
