A welding fixture for supporting first and second workpieces in a coaxial relationship along a workpiece axis relative to each other includes a base, a left clamp on the base for holding a first workpiece, and a right clamp on the base for holding a second workpiece on an opposite side of a welding plane in a coaxial relationship with the first workpiece. The fixture also includes a left handle on the base for operating the right clamp, and a right handle on the base for operating the left clamp.

High production welding fixture

An orbital weld head includes a metal insert and rotor. The covers are made from mica laminate. A metal spring/brush that is preferably one piece side loads the rotor against the insert. The rotor and insert have interengaging portions, preferably trapezoidal, that cause the rotor to move axially when it expands from heat, thus minimizing binding.
