Patent ID: 7478626

Claim:
A method for producing an injector, comprising the steps of: assembling a first module comprising an injector housing and a lift actuating drive, assembling a second module comprising a nozzle body, a nozzle needle and a reset means for the nozzle needle, determining at least one value of at least one characteristic variable for the first module by appropriate activation of the lift actuating drive, assigning the first module to one of a number of classes as a function of the at least one value of the at least one characteristic variable, determining at least one value of at least one characteristic variable for the second module by appropriate actuation of the nozzle needle, assigning the second module to one of a number of classes as a function of the at least one value of the at least one characteristic variable, and pairing and assembling a first module with a second module of the same class, respectively, wherein a predetermined lift of the lift actuating drive is set for the first module under the influence of a predetermined counter-force acting on the lift actuating drive and a variable, which is characteristic of the electrical energy that has to be supplied to the lift actuating drive for this purpose is determined as the characteristic variable.
