Apparatus And Method Of Manufacturing Electrode Assembly

An apparatus of for_manufacturing an electrode assembly, comprising:

• a unit cell supply unit comprising:
• a magazine configured to receive therein one or more unit cells stacked in a first direction, wherein each of the one or more unit cells comprises one or more electrodes and one or more separators alternately stacked and bonded to each other in the first direction and an electrode tab of each of at least one of the one or more electrodes of each of at least one of the one or more unit cells protrudes in one direction of a second direction intersecting the first direction;
• and
• an anti-static unit arranged adjacent to the magazine and configured to remove static electricity from the at least one of the one or more unit cells received in the magazine;
• and
• a unit cell transport unit configured to extract from the magazine and transport the one or more unit cells received in the magazine,
• wherein the anti-static unit comprises a contact body made of a conductive material, the contact body configured to contact with the at least one of the one or more unit cells received in the magazine to discharge static electricity from the at least one of the one or more unit cells by being configured to contact with the electrode tab of each of the at least one of the one or more electrodes of each of the at least one of the one or more unit cells received in the magazine, and
• the contact body is disposed at one side of the unit cell supply unit in the second direction.
