<p>Designing of processing stations for welding operations on unfinished coachwork assemblies (5) as part of a flexible manufacturing system. For this, frame-type workpiece carriers (1) with carrier elements (4) are used for laying out the loose parts of the assemblies (5), whereby the workpiece carriers (1) are able to receive assemblies which are also differently constructed. The transfer line (9) is not designed to be of the continuous type, but now surrounds only the input station (10), the work position (6) and the output station (11). Arranged next to these stations (10, 11) are storage stations (14) that are linked with one another with a transport system (20) which crosses the transfer line (9). In this way it is possible to store the workpiece carriers (1) with processed assemblies (5) or to bypass the next processing station if the latter is not in a position to receive or is out of order. For this deviation route transport vehicles (27) with their own transverse conveyors (28) are used, which are able to accept workpiece carriers (1) from the storage stations (14) or to transfer them thereto.</p> |
