Abstract: A test procedure system comprising a test component test procedure corresponding to test instructions, a computer model system comprising a test component computer model comprising inspection indicia therein, a head mounted display comprising an alignment system, aligning the test component within a field of view with the computer model to align the inspection indicia and a user interface associated with the head mounted display for entering test results.

Abstract: A system and method of braze resistance spot welding of an aluminum component to a galvanized steel component involve providing an aluminum-side electrode having a first tip defining a rounded shape, providing a galvanized steel-side electrode having a second tip defining a flat shape, depositing a braze filler material between the aluminum and galvanized steel components at a desired location for a spot weld, performing a pre-heat including providing a first current across the electrodes for a first period such that the braze filler melts and removes a portion of a zinc coating from the galvanized steel component, and after performing the pre-heat, performing a spot weld between the aluminum and galvanized steel components by providing a second current across the electrodes for a second period such that the aluminum melts and the galvanized steel does not melt, wherein the second current is greater than the first current.

Abstract: A method of verifying that a robot carried self-piercing rivet gun system is set-up so that workpieces that are to be riveted will be normal to a self-piercing rivet gun of the robot carried self-piercing rivet gun system during riveting includes utilizing a perpendicularity sensor to verify that the workpieces will be normal to the self-piercing gun during riveting.
