Cross Car Beam Clip-nut Assembly and Holding Fixture

This design is made for an CCB part where operator can load the part and assemble the clip nuts on it. Mid-section of the fixture is 240 degrees rotatable both manually and pneumatically to give more space for the operator for easy and ergonomic assembly. After the assembly, presence of the clip-nuts are checked optically inside optical measurement system.
