1. A method of manufacturing valves which are driven by an actuator, the respective valve comprising a cavity, a pivoting rocker arranged in the cavity and the actuator arranged to engage at least one rocker arm, fluid channels opening into the cavity, the respective channel openings each defined by a valve seat which can be closed or unblocked by a sealing element, the method comprising: providing at least one pressing piece;adjusting the position of the pressing piece relative to the rocker in the actuation direction of the sealing element;fastening the pressing piece to the rocker in the position of adjustment; andconnecting the rocker to the sealing element in and contrary to the actuation direction of the sealing element, wherein the actuator comprises a plunger, and wherein the at least one pressing piece projects through the rocker and has one end contacting the sealing element and an opposite end contacting the plunger. 2. The method according to claim 1, wherein the position of the associated pressing piece relative to the rocker is adjusted in the actuation direction of the sealing element individually for each manufactured valve. 3. The method according to claim 1, wherein the actuator is arranged to engage two rocker arms, and wherein the method further comprises: providing a separate valve seat on each of the two rocker arms;providing a pressing piece for each valve seat;adjusting the position of the pressing piece individually for each manufactured valve relative to the rocker in the actuation direction of the sealing element; andfastening the pressing piece to the rocker in the position of adjustment. 4. The method according to claim 3, wherein identical parts are used for each pressing piece. 5. The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one pressing piece is received in an associated opening in the rocker. 6. The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one pressing piece is fastened to the rocker by at least one of clamping, gluing, press-fitting and welding. 7. The method according to claim 1, wherein the at least one pressing piece is connected to the sealing element at a side of the sealing element opposite the valve seat. 8. The method according to claim 1, wherein the valve is a miniaturized valve with a maximum stroke of 0.4 mm. 9. The method according to claim 1, wherein the valve is a membrane valve and the sealing element is a membrane, the membrane extending through the cavity and delimiting a fluid space from the cavity. 10. The method according to claim 1, wherein the actuator is a magnetic actuator comprising a coil configured to drive the plunger. 11. The method of claim 1, wherein the sealing element is configured to selectively close or unblock the valve seat in response to pivoting the rocker. 12. A valve comprising: a cavity;fluid channels opening into the cavity;a pivotable rocker arranged in the cavity; andan actuator arranged to engage at least one rocker arm, at least one fluid channel opening defined by a valve seat which can be closed or unblocked by a sealing element being moved in an actuation direction, wherein at least one separate pressing piece is fastened in a longitudinal guide in the rocker via a fastening means, the pressing piece contacting the sealing element with one end and moving the sealing element to an end position, the longitudinal guide allowing a displacement of the pressing piece in and contrary to the actuation direction of the sealing element prior to fastening the pressing piece, wherein the rocker is connected to the sealing element in and contrary to the actuation direction of the sealing element, wherein the actuator comprises a plunger, and wherein the at least one pressing piece projects through the rocker and has one end contacting the sealing element and an opposite end contacting the plunger. 13. The valve according to claim 12, wherein the actuator is arranged to engage two rocker arms, and wherein each of the two rocker arms has a valve seat associated thereto and each valve seat has a separate pressing piece associated thereto which is fastened to the rocker. 14. The valve according to claim 12, wherein identical parts are used for each pressing piece. 15. The valve according to claim 12, wherein the at least one pressing piece is in line with the associated valve seat when the associated valve seat is closed. 16. The valve according to claim 12, wherein the at least one pressing piece is received in an associated opening in the rocker. 17. The valve according to claim 12, wherein the at least one pressing piece is fastened to the sealing element at a side of the sealing element opposite the valve seat. 18. The valve according to claim 12, wherein the actuator is arranged to engage two rocker arms, and, wherein both rocker arms are engaged by return springs. 19. The valve according to claim 12, wherein the valve is a membrane valve and a membrane is provided which extends through the cavity and delimits a fluid space from the cavity. 20. The valve according to claim 12, wherein the actuator is a magnetically driven actuator comprising a coil configured to drive the plunger. 21. A valve bank comprising several identically constructed valves and pressing pieces according to claim 12, wherein the pressing pieces have individual and in part differing positions in the actuation direction of the sealing element relative to the rocker and the valves have the same valve stroke. 22. The valve according to claim 12, wherein the pressing piece is configured to lift the sealing element off of the valve seat in response to pivoting the rocker.
