<p>Method and system are provided wherein a process robot (26) moves the door (38) of a vehicle (23) to an open position, performs a robotically controlled process within the vehicle (23) and then moves the door (38) back to a closed position. A separate, two-axis programmable arm (26) holds the door (38) in the open position. In particular, the process robot (26) has attached thereto a tool extension (28) whereby the process robot (26) goes in through a window opening of the door (38) of the vehicle (23), executes a door open path where the door (38) contacts the inner panel of the door and opens the door over a magnetic holder (32) positioned on the two-axis programmable arm (26) below the bottom of the door (38). The magnet (32) is of sufficient magnetic strength to accurately hold the door (38) at the programmed holding position of the two-axis arm (44). The process robot (26) then performs a production operation (i.e. painting, priming, sealing, etc.) within the vehicle. The process robot (26) then inserts the tool extension (28) into the window slot (76) of the door and closes the door (38) without touching the processed surfaces of the vehicle (23).</p> |
