  • Patent number: 11698383
    Abstract: A sensor mounting device and method to accurately mount a sensor to a test asset for data collection and component validation, the sensor mounting device including a leveling plate equipped with a level indicator, an alignment shelf adapted to constrain the movement of a sensor and hold the sensor level relative to the level indicator, and various protruding structures for aligning the mounting device with the test asset. The sensor mounting device may further include a base structure to support the leveling plate and allow a user to adjust the vertical position of the sensor to be mounted. The base structure may include a plurality of spanning members on which the leveling plate is mounted as to allow the leveling plate to be adjusted vertically.

  • Publication number: 20230130949
    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.
