Geo Fixture
General
There are several Geo Fixtures mounted on top of the turntables located at the 2V08 Sideskin Roof Outer Cell. The Geo Fixtures perform the holding of parts during robot pick, place, and securing parts while robot(s) perform the required welding, sealant, or laser welding operations. The fixtures can be simple, or complex based on the parts to be processed. To secure the parts during operation, the Geo Fixture features multiple clamps that grip and secure the part, preventing any movement from occurring.
The following Geo Fixtures are located on the 2V08 Sideskin Roof Outer Cell:
- SS-010-TT
- SS-020-TT
