PARTS SUPPLY SYSTEM FOR ASSEMBLY LINE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce an operator's burden and to improve production efficiency. SOLUTION: Parts P are taken out of a parts truck 40a (a parts storage body) at a parts takeout section 11. The emptied parts truck 40a is sent to a recovery section 13, and a parts truck 40c standing by at a carry-in section 12 is sent into the parts takeout section 11. When a parts truck 40d in the stored state of the parts P is carried into a prescribed carry-in position (the carry-in part 12), the parts truck 40a in the empty state automatically moves to a prescribed recovery position (the recovery section 13). The manual moving work of the parts truck 40a is thereby dispensed with, and there is no interruption of assembly work on an assembly line L for the moving work of the parts truck 40a.
