A multi-station robotic welding assembly includes a mounting platform, and a
plurality
of robots attached to the mounting platform and located in respective weld stations.
Each of the robots includes an elongated movable arm and wrist. A welding torch
is attached to each of the robots, and is adapted for being manipulated by the
movable arm and wrist. A rotatable fixture base is located on the mounting platform,
and is adapted for supporting a plurality of fixtures. Each of the fixtures is
adapted for holding and positioning a workpiece for welding in respective weld
stations. A base indexer is adapted for repeatedly rotating the fixture base by
a predetermined degree, such that the fixtures are positioned within respective
weld stations for an index interval sufficient to complete welding of the workpieces.
