  • Patent number: 12015127
    Abstract: An electrical module rotisserie assembly for battery module handling and mechanical and electrical testing. The electrical module rotisserie assembly includes a rotatable frame structure with various sliders and insulated joints to provide an adjustable platform to fit any size electrical module and permit access to any surface of the electrical module for various testing and validation activities in an electrically-isolated manner. A plurality of modular adjustable hold down clamps secure the electrical module to the rotatable structure and slide along the structure to accommodate different electrical modules that may have different mounting formats. These adjustable hold down clamps benefit from polymer module pins that may be customized to fit any electrical module design and create electrical isolation for sensitive electrical testing.
    Type: Grant
