Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile instrument panel crossbeam welding, and particularly relates to an adjustable welding fixture for an automobile instrument panel crossbeam assembly. Background Technique

[0002] When welding an automobile instrument panel crossbeam assembly, it is necessary to clamp the automobile instrument panel crossbeam assembly on a rotatable and adjustable platform through a fixture, and drive the platform to rotate to drive the fixture and the automobile instrument panel crossbeam assembly to rotate, so as to facilitate the welding operation in cooperation with a welding robot. At present, the installation height and size of the upper chuck and the lower chuck of the fixture for the automobile instrument panel crossbeam assembly are fixed. When clamping different parts of the automobile instrument panel crossbeam assembly, different fixtures need to be designed to adapt;
