Definitions
- the present invention relates to an installation for the assembly of bodywork including motor vehicles. More particularly, the present invention relates to an installation for assembling several different body models.
- the assembly stations of the bodywork factories are bulky.
- the tools that compose them are generally dedicated to a single body model.
- Document FR-2728186 discloses an installation for assembling N body models. This installation includes an assembly area and a welding area. These two areas are interconnected by guideways on which pallets come to move. Part of these guideways is movable thus making it possible to connect fixed sections, called waiting sections. These waiting sections make it possible to store body parts on the pallets before they are taken to the assembly or welding area.
- the pallets are specific to each body model. In order to be able to manufacture N body models without constraints on the production order of these body models, it is necessary to have 2N storage areas and 2N pallets. Therefore, this installation is very cumbersome. In addition, the pallets are specific to each body model, the sorting system of these pallets is complex.
- FIG. 1 illustrates an example of such an installation 1.
- This plate 9 is generally square. It is composed of four tools 7 for hanging body parts 8.
- a tool 7 is specific to a body model. In the drawing, two pieces A and B of different body models are shown.
- This installation 1 is composed of a loading / unloading zone 3 of the bodywork parts 8 and of an assembly zone 5.
- the loading / unloading of the parts is carried out by an operator 4.
- the assembly is carried out by a robot 6.
- the rotation of the plate 9 moves the body parts 8 from one area to another.
- this device makes it possible to manufacture only two different types of bodywork.
- the manufacture of several identical pieces as a result is generally the cause of loss of time. Indeed, if the system is not well adapted, the assembly robot must wait for the loading of a new piece identical to that which it has just assembled. The robot does not work at its maximum rate allowed by its characteristics.
- the plate 9 must therefore comprise two specific tools for each of the models of bodywork. If the production order of the body models is AAAB, the robot 6 assembles the first piece A while the operator 4 unloads the specific tool 7 piece A which has just been assembled to load it with a piece A to assemble. Once this operation is finished, the plate 9 pivots 180 °. The robot 6 can assemble the new piece A and the operator 4 discharges the specific tool piece A which has just been assembled to load it with a part A to assemble.
- the purpose of this invention is therefore to provide an assembly facility allowing greater flexibility in the manufacture of body models, a surface gain used and optimal use of manufacturing tools.
- the subject of the invention is an installation for assembling bodywork models, in particular for a motor vehicle, using a turntable system having N tools, characterized in that it comprises another turntable system having M tools. , M being greater than N, and an assembly robot common to both turntable systems, allowing to assemble the parts of at least N different body models, regardless of the order of manufacture of these Body models, maintaining the maximum rate allowed by the characteristics of the robot and the two systems.
- the installation may also have one of the following characteristics: the turntable systems are superimposed.
- the installation comprises at least one loading / unloading zone and an assembly zone. - loading and unloading takes place on the assembly area.
- the joining technique can be chosen for example from welding, laser welding, arc welding, stud assembly, rivet assembly, clinching assembly, glue, putty.
- the loading / unloading is performed by a single operator and / or by handling robots.
- the subject of the invention is a method for manufacturing at least N body models, in particular for a motor vehicle, characterized in that a robot common to a first and a second turntable system having respectively N and M tools. , M being greater than N, assembles a body part on a tool of the first turntable system while the second turntable system rotates at a given angle or is being loaded.
- the method may furthermore have one of the following features: after said rotation of said second turntable system, it consists in performing the following steps:
- FIG. 1 represents a top view of an assembly plant according to the state of the technique comprising a turntable and already described.
- FIG. 2 represents an isometric view of an assembly installation according to the invention
- FIGS. 3 and 4 are top views of an installation according to FIG. 2, illustrating the first two steps of a manufacturing process.
- Figure 5 is a top view of another embodiment of an assembly plant according to the invention.
- Figure 2 shows an overview of an assembly plant 2 according to the present invention. This installation 2 comprises two turntable systems 30 and 40.
- the turntables 30 and 40 are composed of specific tools 10 for receiving a part 15 of a body model.
- the tools 10 may be different and used to make different assemblies, symmetrical assemblies (right / left) and successive assemblies.
- This assembly device 2 comprises two areas 50 and 52 of loading / unloading and an assembly area 80. The assembly is provided by a robot 85 common to the two turntables 30 and 40.
- the robot 85 is a welding robot.
- the assembly technique can be chosen for example from laser welding, arc welding, stud assembly, rivet assembly, assembly by clinching, glue or putty.
- FIG. 3 shows a top view of the assembly plant 2.
- the rotating plates 30 and 40 consist of four specific tools 10.
- each side of the rotating plates 30 and 40 corresponds to a different body model.
- the body models are represented by the letters A, B, C or D.
- Figures 3 and 4 show the first two steps of a manufacturing method according to the order B-C-D-D, using an assembly plant according to the invention.
- the first step is to assemble the bodywork part D of the turntable 40.
- the plate 30 pivots to place the previously assembled part B in front of the loading / unloading area 50.
- the operator 55 discharges then this piece B of the specific tool 10 to load it with a new part B to assemble.
- the plate 30 pivots to place the new part B in front of the assembly zone 80.
- the second step is then to rotate the robot 85 by 180 ° in order to assemble the piece B of the plate 30.
- the plate 40 pivots to place the previously assembled piece C in front of the loading zone 52.
- the operator 55 then moves from the loading / unloading zone 50 to the zone 52. He then discharges this piece C of the specific tool 10 to load it with a new part C to be assembled.
- the plate 40 pivots to place the new part C in front of the assembly zone 80.
- the third step then consists in rotating the robot 85 by 180 ° in order to assemble the part C of the plate 40.
- the assembly of the piece C the plate 30 rotates to place the piece D to be assembled in front of the assembly zone 80.
- the fourth step is then to rotate
- the fifth step then consists in pivoting the plate 30 to place the part D in front of the loading / unloading zone 50.
- the operator 55 then unloads this piece D of the specific tool 10.
- the trays 30 and 40 can pivot in the trigonometric direction and in the antitrigonometric direction. In the case shown in Figures 3 and 4, the angles of rotation are 90 ° or 180 °.
- the body models are assembled continuously, the only possible waiting times correspond to the time required for assembly or rotation of the trays.
- the body parts 15 that have just been loaded onto a specific tool 10 are not necessarily assembled in the next step.
- the body parts 15 can remain during several assembly stages on the specific tools
- the present invention is not limited to the particular embodiment which has just been described but extends to any variant within its spirit.
- the loading and unloading can be carried out from the assembly zone 80.
- the rotating plates 30 and 40 may be polygons consisting of N specific tools. The rotation angles are then chosen so as to place the tools in front of the areas concerned. It then becomes clear that the invention makes it possible to construct N different body models while maintaining the maximum speed allowed by the characteristics of the robot 85 and the two systems 30 and 40.
- the trays 30 and 40 are not necessarily symmetrical.
- Such a device allows to build the MN parts that are all too rarely assembled to benefit from a specific position, while allowing to assemble at least N different body models, maintaining the maximum speed allowed by the characteristics of the robot 85 and the two systems 30 and 40.
- the turntables can also be stacked. This solution optimizes the position of the assembly plant.
- the operator 55 can easily be replaced by a handling robot.
- the present invention makes it possible to optimally manufacture pairs of symmetrical parts. Indeed, the tools of the assembly robot are suitable for both parts. The invention thus also allows greater flexibility in the manufacture of body models. In addition to saving time and space, it also makes it possible to optimize the use of the operator 55 and the assembly robot 85 on at least two rotating plates.
