Robots have been adapted to welding short runs. To speed the process, parts like this chair are pre-tacked. This fixture includes an adapter plate that is common to a number of different style chairs. It locates and clamps the two legs to the upper body. Several tall angles reach up to fix the spacing on the legs and to accurately locate the adapter block.
