Abstract

La présente invention vise à créer un procédé de positionnement apte à positionner des séparateurs et des MEA, chacun avec une bonne précision, même si leurs formes diffèrent les unes des autres en raison de spécifications et de tolérances de fabrication. L'invention concerne un procédé de positionnement, qui positionne au moins des séparateurs (100) et des MEA (200) qui sont chacun formés sous forme de tôle et dont plusieurs sont empilées, l'une par rapport à l'autre dans un plan qui coupe la direction d'empilement. Le procédé de positionnement comprend un processus de positionnement. Pour le processus de positionnement, des séparateurs (100) et des MEA (200) s'appuient chacun indépendamment contre des éléments de positionnement (21-23) placés dans des positions prédéterminées selon la direction d'empilement, par déplacement indépendant de chacun dans des directions qui coupent la direction d'empilement, pour positionner les séparateurs (100) et les MEA (200) les uns par rapport aux autres.
