摘要： A workpiece is held at a welding station by several clamps during welding. After welding, the workpiece is transferred to a checking station where a determination is made of the actual location of critical points on the workpiece. The actual critical point locations are compared with ideal critical point locations to determine if there is any error in the manner in which the workpiece was held by the clamps. If an error is determined, one or more of the clamps are adjusted to compensate for the error when holding a subsequent workpiece for welding. Apparatus is also provided for carrying out the method of this invention.

摘要翻译： 在焊接过程中，工件通过多个夹具保持在焊接站。 在焊接之后，工件被传送到确定工件上临界点的实际位置的检查站。 将实际的临界点位置与理想的临界点位置进行比较，以确定夹具夹持工件的方式是否存在任何误差。 如果确定了错误，则调整一个或多个夹具以补偿保持随后的焊接工件时的误差。 还提供了用于实施本发明的方法的设备。
