PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a technology for effectively and flexibly utilizing a welding facility in a method of manufacturing a vehicle body and a welding facility by which multiple types of products can be welded. SOLUTION: This welding facility 10 comprises a sub welding line 12 for welding a panel member and a main welding line 13 to which the sub welding line 12 is converged. The panel member is combined with a skeleton member and welded to each other at a converged part 75 where the sub welding line 12 is converged to the main welding line 13. The main welding line 13 is composed of a plurality of welding stages 51, 55-59, 61 having welding robots 35L, 35R. A transfer mechanism 70 for transferring the panel member to any welding stage is installed at the outlet of the sub welding line 12. The converged part 75 is changeable according to the number of steps for welding operation. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
