Assembly device for mounting components and sub-assemblies on a free-form surface of a workpiece, includes obliquely positioned pallet for preparing components and sub-assemblies in work-space

摘要

An assembly device for assembling components and sub-assemblies on a free-form surface of a workpiece utilizes parallel-kinematics which consist of a carrier (10 with a movable platform (2) below and which is joined via electronically controlled length-variable struts (3), with passive hinges (4) at their ends, to the carrier (1). The platform (2) carries an assembly unit (5), the latter being rotatably arranged. In the working space of the parallel-kinetics, on the basic frame (6) arranged parallel to the carrier (1) is arranged a workpiece carrier (7) for the workpiece having the free-form surface, and which electronically controlled to swivel about its central axis. An image processing system is integrated into the assembly unit for looking after various test-, measurement-, detection- and monitoring-tasks. At least one pallet (8) can be arranged in an oblique position relative to the carrier (1) for preparing the components and subassemblies in the work-space of the parallel-kinematics.
