Abstract
An inverter manufacturing cell includes a table including a base, a frame configured to receive a work piece, and at least one pivotable lift arm attached to the base and to the frame. The pivotable lift arm is configured to pivot relative to the base about at least one axis such that the frame and work piece rotate from a first, generally horizontal position to a second, generally vertical position. After rotating to the second, vertical position, the frame is configured to slide such that the frame and work piece further rotate to a third, generally horizontal position wherein the frame and work piece are inverted relative to the first, generally horizontal position.

An inverter manufacturing cell comprising:
- a panel holder including a first strut and a second strut spaced from the first strut, wherein the panel holder is configured to hold a work piece;
- a base located adjacent the panel holder, the base including a first slot and a second slot spaced apart from the first slot, wherein the first slot and second slot are configured to be positioned on first and second opposing sides of the work piece;
- a frame configured to hold the work piece, the frame including a first side and a second side, wherein the first side and the second side are spaced apart and configured to contact the first and second opposing sides of the work piece;
- and a first pivotable lift arm and a second pivotable lift arm each attached to the base and to the frame, wherein the first pivotable lift arm and the second pivotable lift arm are configured to pivot relative to the base about at least one axis such that the frame and the work piece rotate from a first, generally horizontal position to a second, generally horizontal position wherein the frame and the work piece are inverted relative to the first, generally horizontal position.
