Semi-Automatic Bodyside Molding Fixtures - Molding and cladding locate and apply fixtures are usually hanging fixtures that are positioned on either side of a vehicle bodyside as the unit is transported along the final or trim assembly line. These fixtures have the molding located to a retainer within the fixture by an operator. The fixture is manually located to the vehicle bodyside while manipulating the balancer functions. The fixture vacuum attaches to the vehicle bodyside. The automatic functions take over placing the molding in the correct position on the vehicle, pressurizing them and releasing from the vehicle. With the latest technologies the greatest upside to these fixtures is the flexibility to do multiple vehicle makes/body styles on one assembly line.

Manual Locate Fixtures - These fixtures are manually positioned by the operator utilizing locators. These fixtures only are used to locate the molding in the correct location/position.
