    摘要: A fixture assembly for supporting a plurality of blanks during a welding operation. The fixture assembly comprises a frame; a plurality of electromagnets positioned on the upper surface of the frame; at least one adjusting pin connected to the frame and moveable relative to the frame for adjusting a position of at least one of the blanks relative to the electromagnets prior to activating the electromagnets; and a plurality of electromagnet adjusters coupled to the frame and configured to move the at least one of the electromagnets relative to the frame after the electromagnets have been activated for closing gaps between the blanks, wherein at least one of the electromagnet adjusters is configured to move the at least one of the electromagnets in a horizontal direction being parallel with the plane of the frame, and wherein at least one of the electromagnet adjusters is configured to rotate the at least one of the electromagnets.
