Flexible fixture

A system and method for orienting a workpiece on an assembly line to prepare the workpiece for an operation are provided. The method includes positioning a flexible fixture on the assembly line. The flexible fixture has a base and at least one adjustable component. The workpiece is positioned on the flexible fixture. A first orientation of the workpiece relative to the flexible fixture is detectedwith a detection device and transmitted to a calibrator. The calibrator determines a difference between the detected first orientation of the workpiece and a predetermined fixture orientation and transmits instructions from the calibrator to the flexible fixture to move the workpiece from the detected first orientation to the predetermined fixture orientation. The workpiece is moved with the at least one adjustable component into the predetermined fixture orientation and is fixedly held with the adjustable component. 提供了种用于对装配线上的工件进行定向以准备工件用于进行操作的系统和方法。该方法包括将柔性夹具定位在装配线上。柔性夹具具有基座和至少个可调部件。将工件定位在柔性夹具上。使用检测装置检测工件的相对于柔性夹具
