Technologies for Flexible Fixturing and Higher Speed Part Handling in Automated Automotive Sheet Metal Assembly
Abstract
Abstract
A lack of fixturing flexibility and of high speed handling of non-rigid parts are two important problems in automotive sheet metal assembly operations. This paper describes the development of two unique grippers for flexible fixturing of automotive sheet metal parts, and of two methods for the vibration control needed for high speed handling of non-rigid parts. Each gripper is designed to execute a 3-D fixturing …
