Robot brazing system

An automated brazing system, comprising:

• a rotatable platform;
• a first fixture frame attached to the rotatable platform and configured to hold a first header assembly;
• a second fixture frame attached to the rotatable platform and configured to hold a second header assembly;
• a third fixture frame attached to the rotatable platform and configured to hold a third header assembly;
• a first clamp attached to the rotatable platform and located between the first fixture frame and the second fixture frame, wherein the first clamp is configured to hold a first header body;
• a second clamp attached to the rotatable platform and located between the second fixture frame and the third fixture frame, wherein the second clamp is configured to hold a second header body;
• a third clamp attached to the rotatable platform and located between the third fixture frame and the first fixture frame, wherein the third clamp is configured to hold a third header body;
• a robot arm;
• and
• a brazing torch attached to the robot arm,
• wherein the robot arm is configured to automatically perform a first brazing operation on the first header body when rotated to the brazing station by the rotatable platform, and also a second brazing operation on the first header body when subsequently rotated back to the brazing station by the rotatable platform after passing through a cooling station and a loading station.
