Abstract

In car-body production, the fixtures used for fixing the car-body panels during the joining processes predominantly consist of rigid constructions that are precise and specific for one car-model. In addition to the already presented automatic adaptation of such fixtures, and specific for the production of many different car-models using same fixture, different clamping robots have been developed. In order to meet the high quality requirements, the positional deviations of these clamping robots are adjusted due to different external loads. This control loop is carried out using a combination of finite element method, mathematical algorithms and modern methods of artificial intelligence.
