COMAU robots in a Panda factory
The floor panel is the largest body component to which a multitude of panels and braces will subsequently be either welded or bolted. As it moves down the assembly line, held in place by clamping fixtures, the shell of the vehicle is built. First, the left and right quarter panels are robotically disengaged from pre-staged shipping containers and placed onto the floor panel, where they are stabilised with geometric fixtures and welded.
The front and rear door pillars, roof, and body side panels are assembled in the same fashion. The shell of the automobile assembled in this section of the process lends itself to the use of robots because articulating arms can easily introduce various component braces and panels to the floor panel and perform a high number of welding operations in a timeframe and with a degree of accuracy no human workers could ever approach. Robots can pick and load roof panels and place them precisely in the proper position for welding, assisted by vision devices.
This video features a view into the Giambattista Vico (Pomigliano d’Arco) assembly plant of FIAT where Panda automobiles are assembled. The video clearly shows the complexity of the environment where ebbits platform will be deployed. The video was produced by Comau © 2012.
