A roof unit for an automobile is composed of a roof panel and stiffeners welded thereto. One roof panel is unloaded from a stack of roof panels stored in a carriage, and fed to a working station. The stiffeners which are coated with a sealer are also fed to the working station. The roof panel and the stiffeners are then welded into a roof unit in the working station. An apparatus for manufacturing a roof unit includes a first feed mechanism 16 for unloading a roof panel 12 from a stack of roof panels and feeding the unloaded roof panel to the working station 14, a second feed mechanism 20 for feeding sealed stiffeners 18a-18c to the working station, a third feed mechanism 24 for feeding a jig 22 to the working station to assemble the roof panel and the stiffener into a roof unit in the working station, and a fourth feed mechanism 26 for feeding the roof unit from the working station. The first through fourth feed mechanisms are disposed around the working station and oriented in respective different four directions therearound. <IMAGE> |
