Abstract:
An apparatus for holding a workpiece includes a fixture base, a linear actuator coupled to the fixture base and having an outboard end that is linearly movable by the linear actuator, and a vacuum gripper located at the outboard end of the linear actuator. The linear actuator is configured to linearly move the vacuum gripper relative to the fixture base into contact with a surface of the workpiece. With the vacuum gripper in contact with the surface of the workpiece, the vacuum gripper is configured to grip the workpiece using a vacuum formed between the vacuum gripper and the surface of the workpiece. With the vacuum formed between the vacuum gripper and the surface of the workpiece, the linear actuator is configured to lock linear movement of the vacuum gripper.

Claim (Index 14):
The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a second linear actuator coupled to the fixture base and having a second outboard end that is linearly movable by the second linear actuator; a second vacuum gripper located at the second outboard end of the second linear actuator; and wherein: the second linear actuator is configured to linearly move the second vacuum gripper relative to the fixture base into contact with a second surface of the workpiece; with the second vacuum gripper in contact with the second surface of the workpiece, the second vacuum gripper is configured to grip the workpiece using a second vacuum formed between the second vacuum gripper and the second surface of the workpiece; and with the second vacuum formed between the second vacuum gripper and the second surface of the workpiece, the second linear actuator is configured to lock linear movement of the second vacuum gripper.
