Provided is a terminal manufacturing apparatus that sends press-molded chain terminals for laser welding in a subsequent step without taking up the chain terminals, and improves welding quality and manufacturing speed. The terminal manufacturing apparatus (1) is provided with, from an upstream side, an unwinding roll (10), a press (20), a laser welding machine (30), a laser machining inspection machine (40), a take-up roll (50), and a control device (60) that controls the operation of the unwinding roll, press, laser welding machine, laser machining inspection machine, and take-up roll. The terminal manufacturing apparatus (1) implements press molding and the subsequent step (i.e., laser welding) as a series of steps. Cette invention concerne un appareil de fabrication connecteurs qui achemine des connecteurs en chaîne moulés par pression vers une étape subséquente de traitement laser sans nécessiter la collecte des connecteurs en chaîne, et qui assure l'amélioration de la qualité de soudure et de la vitesse de fabrication. Ledit appareil de fabrication (1) de connecteurs comprend, en partant du côté amont : un rouleau dérouleur (10), une presse (20), une machine de soudage au laser (30), une machine d'inspection d'usinage laser (40), un rouleau enrouleur (50) et un dispositif de commande (60) qui commande le fonctionnement du rouleau dérouleur, de la presse, de la machine de soudage au laser, de la machine d'inspection d'usinage laser et du rouleau enrouleur. Ledit appareil de fabrication de connecteurs (1) met en œuvre le moulage par pression et l'étape subséquente (c'est-à-dire le soudage au laser) en tant que série d'étapes.
