Fixturing
This procedure outlines the daily safety and operational checks of a welding fixture to confirm it is safe and ready for use. It guides the operator through checking the two-hand control system, guards, hydraulic leaks and hoses, structural condition, and work area, then the bushings, locators, clamps, pins and stops, fasteners, movement, weld spatter, and asset ID, with photos for any flagged or failed item.
