AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In existing technologies, the hinge Y/Rx cannot be adjusted according to the overall vehicle dimensions during automatic door assembly, resulting in the door and body gap not being optimally matched, causing assembly errors.

Method used

Design an E-SHIM mechanism, including a lifting mechanism, a connecting device, and a hinge placement platform. Driven by a combination of servo motors and cylinders, the hinge can be actively adjusted in the Y direction. It works in conjunction with the Bestfit vision system for closed-loop correction and uses magnets and limit blocks to ensure reliable clamping and in-situ detection of the hinge.

Benefits of technology

Significantly reducing the gap between the door and the body surface improves assembly precision. The two-stage drive of servo motor and cylinder enables rapid response and high-precision positioning, ensuring the reliability and accuracy of hinge installation.
