## Abstract

In a method for creating at least one low-voltage path of a cell contacting system, where the cell contacting system contains a main body, a guide head having a discharge opening for discharging an electrical conductor is provided. The guide head is guided by a machine in a predefinable path relative to the main body, and the conductor is discharged from the guide head and laid on the main body to form the low-voltage path.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for creating at least one low-voltage path of a cell contacting system, wherein the cell contacting system having a main body, which method comprises:
providing a guide head having a discharge opening for discharging an electrical conductor; and
guiding the guide head by a machine in a predefinable path relative to the main body, and the electrical conductor is discharged from the guide head and laid on the main body to form the at least one low-voltage path.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, which further comprises carrying out a movement of the guide head and/or the discharging of the electrical conductor from the guide head automatically by means of a programmable control program.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, which further comprises tensioning the electrical conductor, while being discharged from the guide head, in relation to a conductor section that is already fixed.

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, which further comprises fixing the electrical conductor to a start node relative to the main body before being laid on the main body and/or fixing to an end node relative to the main body after being laid on the main body.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, which further comprises disposing the electrical conductor on at least one guide element while being laid on the main body.

### Claim 6 (depends on 4)

The method according to claim 4, which further comprises using a clamping means and/or a holding means and/or a pin and/or a barrier and/or a channel and/or a labyrinth as the start node and/or the end node and/or a guide element.

### Claim 7 (depends on 4)

The method according to claim 4, which further comprises attaching the start node and/or the end node and/or a guide element to the main body.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, which further comprises using a wire or a line as the electrical conductor.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, which further comprises creating at least two low-voltage paths by a common conductor being laid on the main body without interruption and then being separated into the at least two low-voltage paths.

### Claim 10 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein the guide head contains a wire guide nozzle.

### Claim 11 (depends on 1)

The method according to claim 1, wherein a contacting head that is moved by the machine is moved to a laid electrical conductor and the contacting head makes electrical contact between the electrical conductor and a counterpart.
