Abstract

Nowadays, the automation in assembly field with robot gets an increasing importance. The putting of spare tire in trunk is still dominated by free dropping. Through that, parts in trunk such as luggage room lamp, jack and so on were damaged and the complaint of assembler in the next process was occurred due to physical strength. To eliminate these, the robot system was in this paper developed to place spare tire on the mounting hole in trunk. The movement of robot was synchronized with the velocity of chassis hanger. With this automated system the productivity of the assembly line was increased from the benefits such as simplification of the system using only robot without the mechanically synchronized transport, inserting spare tire into the right position with robot, reduction of damaged parts and production of various type of car.
