These solutions optimize production processes. by shortening assembly times and increasing safety levels It aims to... One of the earlier techniques was industrial for bonding, sealing and thermal management. This involves the use of dosing systems. Another solution is by applying it by coating. battery modules by drilling and self-drilling riveting methods It is assembled safely and quickly. These techniques provide high-performance connectivity. 2 It aims to provide strength and impact resistance. Additionally, the battery... bonding the cells together, ensuring package sealing, and fire resistance. Methods such as applying durable coatings can reduce vibration and movement of batteries. It aims to protect against damage caused by various factors. However, with current technologies, mounting the batteries directly to the vehicle roof, It requires numerous connection points, which can lead to sealing issues and occupational safety and health (OSH) concerns. This increases the risks. In this context, batteries should be placed in a carrier frame beforehand. By mounting it on the vehicle and securing it to the vehicle roof with fewer attachment points, both It shortens assembly time and increases safety. In this way, production is 10 while increasing efficiency, leakage and occupational health and safety risks are minimized. It is being downloaded.
