Method for mounting differential gear housing and rear axle gear unit housing by lightweight construction robot, involves contacting housings by robots such that differential gear housing is partially and oscillatingly moved by robot

摘要

The method involves holding a differential gear housing (30) by lightweight construction robots (16, 18). A portion of the differential gear housing is installed in an opening of a rear axle gear unit housing (36), where force applied by the robots during the installation process does not exceed a preset threshold i.e. 140 Newton. The housings are contacted by the robots such that the differential gear housing is partially and oscillatingly moved by the robots. One of the housings is movably held by support devices (22).
