<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and apparatus for assembling a complex product in a parallel process system in which the collection of components is presented to assemble the complex product. <P>SOLUTION: The collection of the components is transferred to one of a plurality of similar computerized assembly cells 20 through the use of a transport system 18. The collection of components is automatically assembled into the complex product through the use of the computerized assembly cells. The complex product is then transferred from one of the assembly cells to a computerized test cell 22, where the complex product is tested to ensure for the proper dimensioning and functioning of the complex product. The complex product is then transferred from the test cell via the transport system to either a part reject area or conveyor 24, if the complex product is defective, or to an automatic dunnage load or part return system 26, if the complex product is not defective. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
