Adhesive application system

To make an adhesive less likely to spread beyond a desired application area when bonding a gas diffusion layer to an intermediate layer in the manufacturing stage of a fuel cell.SOLUTION: Using an adhesive coating system, an adhesive is applied on an intermediate layer in a manufacturing step of a fuel cell with the intermediate layer and gas diffusion layers on both sides of the intermediate layer. The adhesive application system has an application unit, a robot arm, and a controller. The application unit applies an adhesive when a valve is opened. The robot arm can move the application unit. The controller controls the valve and the robot arm. The controller linearly applies the adhesive to the intermediate layer from the application start point, by opening the valve before the application unit becomes located immediately on the application start point while moving the application unit by the robot arm.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 3
