The locating and clamping mechanism consists of a plurality of lift-pin members, driven by an actuator assembly , and movable up and down into engagement with the underside of the pallet at the work station. At least one of the lift-pin members has a tapered head that is received in a correspondingly-tapered opening in the pallet so as to horizontally orient the pallet.
