An apparatus for manufacturing absorbent article includes a rotary drum disposing a workpiece on a web and a web position guiding mechanism that guides a position of the web. The rotary drum includes a suction unit sucking the workpiece. The suction unit changes a disposition direction of the workpiece from a first disposition direction at the reception point to a second disposition direction at a delivery point. In a cross section taken along the second disposition direction at the delivery point, an external shape of the workpiece sucked by the suction unit is an external shape in which an outer edge portion of the workpiece is close to a rotary shaft side of the rotary drum in comparison with a central portion of the workpiece. The web position guiding mechanism is a guiding mechanism in which at an abutment point on an upstream side in a conveyance direction more significantly than the delivery point, the web is disposed so that a central portion of the workpiece and the web come into contact with each other, and at the delivery point, the web is disposed so that an outer edge portion of the workpiece and the web come into contact with each other.本發明在於提供一種可以一邊抑制皺紋或縐褶的產生，同時可以將加工件轉貼於帶材上之吸收性物品的製造裝置。本發明之吸收性物品的製造裝置，是具備：用以將加工件配置於已配置有彈性構件的帶材上之旋轉滾筒、以及用以引導帶材的位置之帶材位置引導機構。旋轉滾筒，係具備吸附加工件之吸附部；吸附部，係可將加工件的配置方向從位於接受點的第1配置方向轉換成位於遞交點之第2配置方向。在沿著位於遞交點之第2配置方向的斷面，被吸附部所吸附之加工件的外形，其外緣部是比加工件的中央部更接近旋轉滾筒的旋轉軸。帶材位置引導機構，在比遞交點更上游側的抵接點，是以可與加工件的中央部接觸之方式來配置帶材，在遞交點是以可與加工件的外緣部接觸之方式來配置帶材。
