Abstract:
A method of joining workpieces includes locating first ends of two first workpieces in a moveable part coupling portion. The lengths of the first workpieces are measured. Any difference in length between the first workpieces is determined. Two additional workpieces are located adjacent the first ends of the first workpieces based on the determined difference in length. The first workpieces are connected to the second workpieces.
