Automated detection type body and shape deformation for robotic welding line

Abstract

Car production starts at a mill where the steel plates are cutted out to body parts. This is followed by a fully automated welding shop, where robots weld the different body parts. All models are welded on the same line. At the end of the line is automatic control of dimensions. In line samples are welded chassis all models, robots are still “see” how the car looks like. Then every car body is still checked in detail and continues to paint shop. After painting the body continues to assembly hall where about 35% of the work carried out by robots and other activities make installers: Replacing the interior and exterior parts, engine mounting, axle, exhaust system and other mechanical components.
