Embodiment Construction

[0021] Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the mounting method will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, with respect to an apparatus for performing the method of mounting a front-end module according to the present invention. In the following description, unless otherwise specified, "front", "rear", "right", and "left" indicate the forward direction, rearward direction, right side, respectively, as viewed from the driver seated in the driver's seat direction and left direction.

[0022] First, refer to figure 1 The vehicle body 10 and the front end module 12 will now be briefly described. The vehicle body 10 includes, on its front side, a left front side member 16L and a right front side member 16R. A left front member 16L extends from the left A-pillar 14L, and a right front member 16R extends from the right A-pillar 14R. In this case, no front beam is provided between the left front side member 16L and the right front side member 16R. Ac...

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for mounting a front end module. Sensing units, nut runners (120L, 120R), and position adjusting members (122L, 122R) are provided for respective front end arms of a first position adjusting robot (64L) and a second position adjusting robot (64R). First, the position of a vehicle body (10) is determined by the sensing units of the first position adjusting robot (64L) and the second position adjusting robot (64R). The first position adjusting robot (64L) and the second position adjusting robot (64R) move a front end module (12) by the position adjusting members (122L, 122R) to a position where the front end module (12) can move into an opening in a front part of the vehicle body (10), based on the positional information of the vehiclebody (10).

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method and a device for mounting a front-end module to a vehicle body. Background technique [0002] When manufacturing an automobile, a front-end module may be mounted to a vehicle body having a large opening at the front (for example, see Japanese Patent No. 3747811). In this regard, the front end module is an assembly including a front bumper, a front bumper beam, a headlamp, a front grille, and the like. In this state, the front-end module is transported to a station for mounting the front-end module on the body. [0003] In order to mount the front-end module to the vehicle body, first, the front-end module is moved into an opening formed in the front of the vehicle body. At this time, when a relative positional displacement between the vehicle body and the front-end module occurs in the vehicle-body width direction, it is difficult to move the front-end module into the opening. In order to overcome this problem, in J...
