Abstract
Plate membersare respectively rested on first and second tablesA andB relatively movable toward and away from each other. The plate membersare caused to abut against reference positioning membersandof reference positioning devices protruded ahead of and over opposing ends' of the tablesA andB so that opposing ends of the plate membersare positioned ahead of the opposing ends′ of the tablesA andB, and the plate membersare positioned laterally. Then, the positioned plate membersare locked on the tablesA andB. After the reference positioning devices are retracted, the tablesA andB are relatively moved toward each other to cause the opposing ends of the plate membersto abut together for formation of weld line X.
