An apparatus for lifting and rotating a frame of a motor vehicle includes a rotisserie and a rotatably connected fixture that holds the motor vehicle frame during production. The fixture includes clamps extending from arms of the fixture and clamps extending from the front support for affixing the frame of the motor vehicle to the fixture. The fixture may further include a passive lock mechanism for engaging a side sill of the frame that includes a latch, a locking extension, a latch spring that holds the latch in engagement with the frame, and a pendulum that rotates relative to the fixture but remains oriented in a fixed location relative to horizontal. The latch may only be disengaged from the frame when the locking extension is aligned to be received by a slot in the pendulum when the fixture is rotated to the home location.

A clamping device includes an actuatable actuator with two actuator halves, each having a clamping jaw disposed thereon. When the actuator is actuated, a cable can be releasably clamped between receiving contours of the clamping jaws. At least one clamping jaw is formed in two parts and has a base part attached to the respective actuator half and an interchangeable part disposed on the base part. The interchangeable part has a support section with a support surface resting on the base part and a contact section resting against the base part. The respective receiving contour is formed on the contact section on an outer side facing the other clamping jaw. A contact surface formed on the contact section on an inner side facing away from the other clamping jaw rests against a contact surface of the base part, and forms an acute angle with the support surface.

An assembly of a router secured to a router base plate and an assembly of jig side plates between which is a work piece such as a frame piece of a pistol firearm. The former assembly is atop the later assembly. The router base plate has a boss inside of which a router guide bushing is rotatable. A guide rail attaches or fastens to the router base plate and aligns the router guide bushing to a locating edge of the one of the jig side plates to create a stable, supporting platform for the handheld router to stay mounted to the router base plate and that guides movement of the handheld router across the one of the jig side plates smoothly as the handheld router cuts rails of the work piece between the pair of jig side plates.

A lift and clamp system for an electronic component includes a table for supporting the electronic component on a top surface thereof. The system also includes a single actuator. The system further includes an actuator plate operatively coupled to the single actuator, wherein the actuator plate is vertically moveable. The system yet further includes a plurality of lift pins extending upwardly from the actuator plate, wherein vertical movement of the actuator plate vertically adjusts the vertical position of the electronic component supported on at least one of the plurality of lift pins, wherein vertical movement of the actuator plate selectively clamps and unclamps the electronic component to the table.
