Abstract: A work station assembly for efficiently removing a production item from a conveyor and for adjustably retaining it in a variety of translational and rotational attitudes for facilitating production tasks thereupon. A base supports a framework that may be translated into abutment with the conveyor for loading of the production item onto the work station assembly. Rotational bearings are provided so that the framework and the retained production item may be rotated about both vertical and horizontal axes. The framework may be locked in a variety of angular and translational positions.
