METHOD AND STATION FOR AUTOMATED LOADING OF ROOF TRAVERS ON A BOX FRAME OF A MOTOR VEHICLE

摘要

The invention relates to a method of automatically depositing roof sleepers (4a-4c) on a body frame (1a-1c) at a loading station (3) comprising a single station (7) for laying the sleepers ( 4a-4c). The removal station (7) comprises a single store (8) for storing the sleepers (4a-4c) and a single manipulator (11) for gripping the sleepers (4a-4c), the implementation of which is placed under the control of control means (5). A first step is a step of collective gripping by the manipulator (11) of a set of crosspieces (4a-4c) stored in the storage magazine (8) and comprising a front cross member (4a), a crossbeam (4b) and a rear crossmember (4c). A second step is a step of successive deposition by the manipulator (11) of each of the crosspieces (4a-4c) previously entered, comprising operations of depositing at least two of the three crosspieces (4a-4c) on the reinforcement of body (1a-1c), including at least the rear crossmember (4c) and the front crossmember (4a), under control of the control means (5) according to the configuration of the body frame (1a-1c) to produce previously identified.
