METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING THE ROOF OF AN AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLE BY ROTATING-KNURL FOLDING

摘要

The invention relates to a method for assembling the roof (12) of an automotive vehicle on a transverse cross-bar (16) of a frame structural member of said automotive vehicle, of the type that comprises at least a first operation during which an end edge (20) of the roof (12) having a transverse orientation is raised so as to be essentially perpendicular to the plane (P) of the roof (12), characterised in that said first operation includes a third sub-operation during which a rotating knurl (32) supported by the arm (34) of a folding robot (36) is used for folding the end edge (20) of the roof (12).
