Robot park in body shop
In the body shop of the Ford plant in Cologne-Niehl, Germany, robots have to able to produce any of the possible variants of the Fiesta.

Spot welding of steel cabinets
When Stähli, a manufacturer of steel cabinets, was confronted with downward pressure on prices due to competition, it became obvious that the company had to increase its productivity. This meant that automation of the welding processes was absolutely vital.

Welding of safety-related parts
SBH supplies modern shoring technology for all civil engineering applications. The manufacture of these components involves important safety considerations, since the parts may have to withstand the pressure of heavy road traffic or adjacent buildings, for example.

Body shop Mercedes-Benz A-Class
DaimlerChrysler’s Mercedes A-class body shop employs a variety of joining processes. For example, about 3,900 spot welds have to be made on 290 different sheet metal parts. DaimlerChrysler was looking to automate these processes through the use of robots; at the top of the priority list were short cycle times, which required high acceleration capability.

Unloading of an injection molding machine
At Dynamit Nobel, linear units are increasingly being replaced by jointed-arm robots. This was also the case when the time came to automate the handling of bumpers and welding parts for the DaimlerChrysler S-class: only this kind of robot could guarantee that the bumper surfaces would remain damage-free. If any scratches were made, a smooth paint finish would no longer be possible.
