Abstract
An assembly device may be employed to vertically stack a fuel cell stack having alternating membrane-electrode units and bipolar plates. The assembly device may include a base plate, a cover plate, and connecting pieces positioned at each of two end faces of the base plate and cover plate. A substantially cuboidal assembly chamber may be defined inside the assembly device by a plurality of vertically oriented locating strips, in order, via the locating strips, to position the membrane-electrode units and bipolar plates relative to one another during stacking. The assembly device may further include a drive for synchronous displacement of the locating strips.
