Automobile body conveyor unit

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE: To simplify the structure by doing the job with only one set truck through providing a set truck which shuttles between a set process position and an overall assembling process position and a take-away truck which shuttles between the overall assembling process position and a further-work process position in an interlocked motion with the aforementioned truck. CONSTITUTION: A set truck 7 is moved from an overall assembling process position 2 to a set process position 1 for its location to be decided and fixed there. In this state, a work W is assembled to be set onto a clamp part 8 of the set truck. Thereafter, along a rail 6, this is moved to the overall assmebling process position 2. At this location, a side panel is welded which is put to a side of the work W by using a welding unit 5 to obtain a car body assembly. Succeedingly, a truck 7 is returned to a set process. At that time, a take-away truck 17 is trailed to be brought to the position 2 and the work W is catched by a holder of the take-away truck 17. Next, when the truck 7 when the truck 7 is moved to the position 2, the work W set by the trucks 7 and 17 is moved to the position 2 and the assembled car body is moved to the further-work process position 3.
