1. 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.
