    摘要: A welding clamp system using a fixture plate with a bulkhead that allows the clamp system to be coupled to a robotic arm. The robotic arm supplies air and electricity through pneumatic and electrical ports, enabling operation of the clamp system. The air is routed to pneumatic cylinders, which power a pneumatic clamp mechanism that moves sliding clamp fixtures along tracks. The sliding clamp fixtures press a work piece against immobile clamp fixtures, allowing a work piece to be secured and held during welding. Presence of a work piece is detected by proximity sensors which are mounted into the fixture. The clamp system allows a robotic arm to grab a work piece from a supply area, initiate and complete welding of the work piece, and then release the work piece onto a discharge station for removal of the completed work piece.

    摘要: An aligning fixture for box welding that is used to internally support a work-piece has a mounting plate and a plurality of supporting legs. Each of the plurality of supporting legs is removably attached to the mounting plate by a plate connector in order to provide adjustability for welding work-pieces of various sizes. A support structure, being a first leg and a second leg, is pivotally connected to the plate connector and a hinge. The hinge supports a roller mount, a roller, and a pad assembly. The roller mount is vertically positioned, wherein the roller is connected to the roller mount opposite the hinge. The roller allows the supporting leg to slide across the bottom surface within the work-piece. The pad assembly is pivotally attached to the hinge and rests flush against the inner wall of the work-piece when the aligning fixture is deployed.
