METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING CARBON NANOTUBE COMBINED WIRE AND APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING CARBON

This method for producing a carbon nanotube assembly line comprises: a first step for supplying a carbon-containing gas to a plurality of catalyst particles in a floating state in a tubular carbon nanotube synthesis furnace, thereby growing carbon nanotubes from each of the plurality of catalyst particles to obtain a plurality of carbon nanotubes; and a second step of aggregating the plurality of carbon nanotubes to obtain a plurality of carbon nanotube aggregated wires, the second step including: a second 2A step of aligning and aggregating a first carbon nanotube group comprising a portion of the plurality of carbon nanotubes in a first flow path along the longitudinal direction of the carbon nanotubes to obtain a first carbon nanotube aggregated wire, and a third step of aggregating a second carbon nanotube group comprising a portion of the plurality of carbon nanotubes in a second flow path along the longitudinal direction of the carbon nanotubes to obtain a second carbon nanotube aggregated wire, and a s
