Abstract

A separator conveying device includes a columnar rotor that holds a continuously supplied separator material on an outer circumferential surface thereof; a cutting unit that cuts the separator material while the separator material is held on the outer circumferential surface of the columnar rotor into a separator with a predetermined shape; and a control unit configured to control a suction force in a slip region. The separator cut out by the cutting unit is conveyed by rotating the columnar rotor while maintaining a state where the separator is held on the outer circumferential surface of the columnar rotor. The outer circumferential surface of the columnar rotor is formed into a suction region where the separator material or the separator is sucked and the slip region where the suction force is switched between sucking and fixing the separator material, and slipping the separator material while sucking the separator material.
