Apparatus for manufacturing secondary battery

An apparatus for manufacturing a secondary battery, the apparatus comprising:

• a cap transporter comprising a cap seater, which is configured to receive a cap at a cap supplying position and on which the cap is to be seated, and is rotatable about a cap turntable axis to transport the cap to a cap welding position;
• a can transporter configured to move a can connected to a tab toward the cap located at the cap welding position;
• a can holder configured to move between a can separation position spaced apart from the can and a can pressing position at which the can holder comes into contact with the can and the can is pressed in a direction in which the cap transporter is arranged;
• a tab pusher configured to move between a tab separation position spaced apart from the tab and a tab pressing position at which the tab pusher comes into contact with the tab and the tab is pressed toward the cap;
• and
• a laser generator configured to emit a laser to the tab to weld the cap and the tab.
