ABSTRACT:
A system for gauging the relative positions of two opposing joint edges on sheet metal components prior to welding. The system comprises a gauging assembly including two pairs of gauging pins which are movable between a retracted position and a gauging position. Each pair of pins defines a separate edge contact line. When each joint edge has contacted both pins in a respective pair, electrical circuitry indicates as much and the components are clamped in this relationship.
