Abstract
A fixture for selectably supporting a number of dissimilar workpieces in a substantially vertical orientation. The fixture includes a frame with one or more rotatable and vertically-oriented workpiece tooling assemblies. Each workpiece tooling assembly has multiple faces to which is mounted workpiece support tooling. The workpiece support tooling may be designed to support dissimilar workpieces, such that a single fixture may support any of a given number of workpieces by simply rotating the workpiece tooling assembly or assemblies until the corresponding support tooling is properly positioned. A locking assembly, such as a cam-locking assembly, may be provided to releasably secure each workpiece tooling assembly in the various support orientations that coincide with each of its faces.
