Then there's cost reduction potential :-)
No way to clamp anything so you don't need all these precision parts?
Until the spot contact lets go at a not so good moment, or one of the panels to be welded had a bad spot there, or a cable breaks, and so on. Never assume things to remain as perfect as they are on paper or in the engineering lab.
Good! I'd test for faulty conditions as well, like the ones above.
