Abstract
The invention relates to methods for manufacturing an energy storage of an electrolytic capacitor, to a method for manufacturing a foil electrode of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, to a device for manipulating a component of an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, to specifically designed foil electrodes for an aluminum electrolytic capacitor, to a method and a device for analyzing a quality of a section of paper to be used as separator of an electrolytic capacitor, and to a specifically designed electrolytic capacitor.
Claims2
Method for manufacturing an energy storage of an electrolytic capacitor, comprising the following steps:
- a) placing a first component (1, 2, 3) of an energy storage of an electrolytic capacitor (13) onto a transfer area (5);
- b) optical measuring the first component (1, 2, 3) to determine its actual position;
- c) determine a deviation between the actual position and a desired position;
- d) gripping the first component (1, 2, 3) with a gripper (7);
- e) adjusting the actual position of the first component (1, 2, 3) if a deviation between the actual position and the desired position has been determined;
- f) placing the first component (1,2,3) onto a self-adhesive film at a stacking area (8);
- g) repeating steps a) to e) with a further component (1, 2, 3) of an energy storage, of an electrolytic capacitor (13) and placing the further component (1, 2, 3) onto the first component (1, 2, 3) to form a stack;
- h) fixing the further component (1, 2, 3) on the stack;
- i) repeating steps a) to e) with a further component (1, 2, 3) of an energy storage of an electrolytic capacitor (13) and placing the further component (1, 2, 3) onto a topmost component (1, 2, 3) of the stack to enlarge the stack;
- j) fixing the further component (1, 2, 3) on the stack;
- k) repeating steps i) and j) a plurality of times yielding a completed stack;
- l) fixing the completed stack after the last further component (1, 2, 3) has been placed on the completed stack by wrapping the self-adhesive film around at least a section of the completed stack.
