However, regarding the device of Patent Document 1, the workpiece is moved and / or rotated in the plane direction by the first rotary roller provided on one side in the width direction and the second rotary roller provided on the other side in the width direction. Therefore, it is difficult to adjust the position and / or attitude of the workpiece whose width is narrower than the interval between the first rotating roller and the second rotating roller.

In particular, since a battery for a mobile phone used in an electronic device or the like is housed in a housing, it is often formed in a rectangular shape with a relatively narrow width. In addition, all-solid-state batteries that have recently attracted attention must be pushed with a high voltage, and therefore, compared with the previous laminated batteries, most of them have a narrower width and a smaller area.

In addition, when adjusting the attitude of the workpiece, the phase difference between the rotation speeds of the first rotating roller provided on one side in the width direction and the second rotating roller provided on the other side in the width direction, Since the workpiece is rotated in the plane direction, it is not easy to adjust the attitude of the workpiece with excellent accuracy.

In addition, the configuration for moving the first rotary roller and the second rotary roller provided on both sides in the width direction in the width direction may increase the size of the conveying line in the width direction.

In addition, this kind of problem is not only a laminated battery, but also occurs in other battery-related battery materials.

In addition, a loading device (not shown) is provided on the transport destination side (right side of FIG. 1) of the apparatus 1 to separately load the workpieces placed on the apparatus 1, and the workpieces W transported by the apparatus 1 pass through The stowage device sequentially holds and stows additionally. Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, the apparatus 1 is provided with a monitoring device 100 and a control device 200 including a camera. While the monitoring device 100 monitors the workpiece W, the control device 200 is based on the monitoring result of the monitoring device 100. (In this embodiment, the imaging data of the workpiece W) controls the alignment unit 30 described later.

As shown in FIG. 1, the apparatus 1 includes a first conveying section 10 arranged on the upstream side in the conveying direction of the workpiece W, a second conveying section 20 arranged on the downstream side in the conveying direction of the workpiece W, and an alignment section 30 Is provided between the first conveying section 10 and the second conveying section 20; these first conveying section 10, the second conveying section 20, and the alignment section 30 are arranged side by side along the conveying direction.

The first conveyance unit 10 is composed of a pair of upper and lower conveyance rollers 11 provided on the right side in the width direction, and a pair of upper and lower conveyance rollers 12 provided on the left side in the width direction. These conveyance rollers 11 and 12 are called so-called rolls. The conveyance rollers 11 and 12 rotate the shaft W in a predetermined direction while sandwiching the work W from above and below, and convey the work W in a conventional conveyance direction.

The second conveyance unit 20 is composed of a pair of upper and lower conveyance rollers 21 provided on the right side in the width direction, and a pair of upper and lower conveyance rollers 22 provided on the left side in the width direction. These conveyance rollers 21 and 22 are called so-called rolls.
