Method and mounting frame for manufacturing a vaporizer unit for an inhaler

A method for manufacturing vaporizer assemblies for inhalers, comprising:

• providing a plurality of connection stations;
• and
• performing at least one assembly step at each connection station to manufacture one vaporizer assembly at each connection station;
• wherein the plurality of connection stations are interconnected by a metallic assembly framework;
• wherein the metallic assembly framework is belt-shaped and is advanced in an advancing direction to perform the at least one assembly step;
• wherein the at least one assembly step comprises connecting a vaporizer support to each connection station and bonding a vaporizer via an adhesive to the vaporizer support connected at each connection station;
• wherein the metallic assembly framework comprises a plurality of longitudinal webs extending in the advancing direction;
• wherein the metallic assembly framework comprises, at each connection station, at least one transverse web that extends transversely to the longitudinal webs;
• and
• wherein connecting the vaporizer support to each connection station comprises overmolding the at least one transverse web at each connection station with a plastic material.
