Abstract
Presented are smart manufacturing systems for optimized curing of adhesives for battery assemblies, methods for making/using such systems, and memory-stored instructions for automating operation of such systems. A method of assembling a battery module includes aligning a stack of battery cells on a workpiece carrier and compressing the cell stack to a predefined length. Module housing side plates are positioned on opposing lateral sides of the compressed cell stack and a heat-cured structural adhesive material (SAM) is injected between the side plates and the lateral sides of the cell stack. A conductive heating system heats the module housing side plates to cure the SAM. While heating the side plates, a cell thermal conditioning system cools a select surface of the compressed cell stack. Upon determining that a monitored cure time reaches a predefined cure time, the system discontinues heating of the side plates and cooling of the battery cells.
