To provide an improved multiobject potting fixture for irradiating curing means that sets a photocurable adhesive.
An enhanced multiobject potting fixture comprises: a fixture housing supporting a plurality of objects, the fixture housing having a wall defining a plurality of bonding wells, each of the bonding well receiving a first portion of one of the objects, each of the bonding well including an aperture in the wall proximate to the first portion, and each of the bonding well including a target zone for selective cure of the adhesive to inhibit the adhesive from exiting the aperture; and a fixture enhancement structure integrated into the wall and concentrating the curing means in each of the target zones. The plurality of objects include battery cells. The curing means includes an ultraviolet (UV) radiation field. The fixture enhancement structure optically concentrates the UV radiation field in each of the target zones.
