PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an absorbent article manufacturing device (1) capable of reducing the size and cost thereof.SOLUTION: In an absorbent article manufacturing method, an absorbent article is manufactured by joining a succeeding material (3fs) supplied from a succeeding material coil (3f) to a preceding material (3ps) without stopping the feeding of the preceding material (3ps) continuously sent out from a preceding material coil (3p), and then sending out the succeeding material (3fs). The absorbent article manufacturing method has a material coil attaching step of attaching the succeeding material coil (3f) with a double-sided tape (5) and a release paper (5a) stuck thereon to a rotating shaft (25) by a robot (10), and a protective member peeling step of removing the release paper (5a) from a joining surface (SA) by the robot (10) in order to enable the joining surface (SA) to be bonded to the preceding material (3ps).SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1COPYRIGHT: (C)2020,JPO&INPIT【課題】吸収性物品製造装置(1)のコンパクト化とコスト抑制にある。【解決手段】先行資材コイル(3p)から連続して繰り出される先行資材(3ps)の繰り出しを停止することなく、後行資材コイル(3f)から供給される後行資材(3fs)を先行資材(3ps)に接合して後行資材(3fs)を繰り出して、吸収性物品を製造する吸収性物品製造方法であって、両面テープ(5)と剥離紙(5a)とが設けられた後行資材コイル(3f)を、ロボット(10)が回転軸(25)に取り付ける資材コイル取り付け工程と、接合面(SA)を先行資材(3ps)と接合可能な状態とするため、ロボット(10)が剥離紙(5a)を接合面(SA)から取り外す、保護部材取り外し工程と、を有することを特徴とする吸収性物品製造方法。【選択図】図1
