1. Equipment for manufacturing a separator plate for a fuel cell, comprising:
a press receiving a conveyed first metal strip and a second metal strip that are unwound from a first uncoiler and a second uncoiler, respectively, vertically arranging the metal stripes side by side, and forming patterns on each of the first metal strip and the second metal strip;
a welding machine which is disposed adjacent to the press, overlaps the first metal strip and the second metal strip conveyed from the press, and integrally joins the metal strips by welding the same in a state in which the patterns are aligned face-to-face with each other; and
a plurality of guide rolls which are arranged in front of and behind the press and guide the first metal strip so that the first metal strip is supplied to the welding machine at an overlapping position with the second metal strip after passing through the press at a position spaced apart from the second metal strip vertically,
wherein the patterns include, a first alignment hole, one among a cathode separator plate pattern and an anode separator plate pattern, and a trimming hole, which are formed in the first metal strip, a second alignment hole, the other among the cathode separator plate pattern and the anode separator plate pattern, and a trimming hole, which are formed in the second metal strip, and
wherein the press comprises, a lower bed having a lower mold on an upper surface;
an upper bed disposed above the lower bed, and having an upper mold on a lower surface facing the lower bed;
a plurality of guide rods disposed between the lower bed and the upper bed to connect the lower bed and the upper bed; and
a slide having a lower punch on a lower surface facing the lower mold, and an upper punch on an upper surface facing the upper mold, the slide reciprocating between the lower bed and the upper bed along the plurality of guide rods.
