<p>PURPOSE:To shorten the working cycle time and improve the operating rate in multikind and small quantity production by a method wherein robots run on a closed loop line and as well as are made capable of doing assembly work while running. CONSTITUTION:On the endless line 13 forming in closed loop are installed running units 12a and 12b, on which the robots 11 performing working operation and the like, and control units 17 memorizing the contents of the work for the robots to be done on the line and making the robots 11 put the memory contents into practice. At a plurality of locations along the endless line 13 are provided peripheral units 23, 24 and 25 performing working operation and the like. A signal transmitting-receiving unit which transmits and receives start-and stop-signals to and from the control units 17 to synchronize the operation of the peripheral units with the operation of the robots 11.</p> |
