Geo Fixture

General

There are two (2) Geo Fixtures mounted on top of the turntable located in the 2V12 Rear Wall Header & Door Ring RH Cell. The Geo Fixtures perform the holding of parts during robot pick, place, and securing parts while robot(s) perform the required 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. Additionally, the Geo Fixture features rough locators and locating pins to help assist the operator in verifying the part is loaded properly.
