1. A device for manufacturing a cell stack having a plurality of at least one of cell assemblies or plies, comprising:
a plurality of positioning units configured for accommodating the plurality of at least one of cell assemblies or plies, wherein
the positioning units each comprise a positioning jaw, wherein the positioning jaws are configured for enclosing the plurality of at least one of cell assemblies or plies disposed one above the other;
a first moving unit driving vibration or shaking movement of each of the plurality of positioning units, wherein
the first moving unit comprises a moving plate mounted in a movable manner and an actuator, wherein the positioning units are disposed on the moving plate, wherein the actuator transfers vibrating or shaking movement to the moving plate, wherein
the positioning units are arranged in such a manner that the at least one of cell assemblies or plies are centered centrally between the positioning jaws by a movement initiated by the first moving unit, and
a support, wherein the plurality of at least one of cell assemblies or plies rest on the support, wherein the support is decoupled from the movement of the first moving unit.
