Automotive assembly process - http://www.fanucrobotics.com/Assembly/
A series of FANUC R-2000iA robots assemble an automotive body:
First, the automotive body passes through the respot stage where an automotive dash panel is constructed. Here, a FANUC R-2000iA robot positions dash components for assembly by a stationary pedestal welder.
Another FANUC R-2000iA robot - fully dressed with a weld gun - continues the welding assembly process. In this video, a FANUC R-2000iA can also be seen in the background positioning and adjusting a dash component for sealant application (0:50).
The automotive body is then positioned for the framing process (1:10). Two R-1000iA robots position sidebody pannels and wait for the roof panel brought by another R-2000iA robot.
The robots bend over toy tabs to hold the components in place. Use of the toy tabs allow the automated framer to adjust the panel position and tack weld them in place.
The automotive body is then simultaneously welded at predetermined spots by multiple R-2000iA robots. Next, the body is dimensionally measure and checked for the proper hole location and position.
The automotive body finally proceeds to the automotive paint shop for further completion.
