ABSTRACT:
A system for clamping a sheet metal component in preparation for welding or the like. A clamping assembly includes a horizontally elongated lower clamping platen and a horizontally elongated upper clamping platen positioned over said lower platen. The upper platen includes an elongated carrier and a series of clamping pads, separately mounted on the carrier for movement toward and away from the carrier. A pair of coil springs between each pad and the carrier bias the pad away from the carrier. The pads are mounted for progressively further movement away from the carrier as they are displaced further from the centerline of the carrier.
