    摘要: In a flexible manufacturing system for assembling various types of vehicle bodies, there is employed a work piece carrier on which a work piece positioning device is mounted. The work piece positioning device has a plurality of position changeable work piece holders which are grouped into a plurality of groups each having its own power input device. When the carrier comes to a type switching state together with the work piece positioning device, a power source installed in the type switching stage is brought into connection with the power input device of one of the groups thereby to change the positions of the corresponding work piece holders. Then, the power source is brought into connection with the other power input device of the other group to change the positions of the corresponding work piece holders.

    摘要: An apparatus for and a method of automatically assembling a body structure of an automobile body, in which side panels are downwardly conveyed into first temporary positions over a floor panel and adjacent jig means, adjusted for proper positions relative to the jig means, moved into second temporary positions, clamped by the jig means, moved from the second temporary positions into final working positions ready to be welded to the floor panel which has been conveyed into a working position thereof, and welded to the floor panel into a unitary structure. The side panels are initially held in positions horizontally close to each other and are gradually moved toward positions horizontally spaced wider from each other as the side panels are conveyed downwardly. The apparatus and method may be modified so that not only the floor panel and the side panels by a cowl-and-dash-panel subassembly and/or a parcel shelf member are assembled together.

    摘要: A method and system for automatically attaching works to respective vehicle bodies carried on a slat conveyor using a robot. The method comprises the steps of (a) providing a base on which the robot is mounted and which is movable within a movement range, at least one part of which is alongside of the conveyor; (b) providing work feeders for sequentially feeding plural kinds of the works which are different according to vehicle types (sedan, hardtop, etc.) of the vehicle bodies to predetermined positions; (c) identifying the vehicle type of one of the vehicle bodies to which the required work is to be attached at a first position; (d) determining a target position according to the identified vehicle type; (e) controlling the robot so as to grasp the required work from the work feeders at the target position; (f) positioning the robot to a stand-by position along the conveyor; (g) detecting sequentially a deviation of a relative position toward a direction of travel of the conveyor between a tracking point and reference point since the vehicle body has arrived at a second position downstream of the first position; and (h) moving the base to follow the conveyor so that the deviation becomes zero and simultaneously controlling the robot so as to attach the grasped work to the vehicle body.
