Provided is a bearing insertion apparatus in which a movable carriage is provided on a base placed on a floor surface in a manner of being movable in a horizontal Z-axis direction corresponding to a direction in which the movable carriage moves toward or away from a housing. In addition, an apparatus main body for supporting a rolling bearing at a distal end thereof is supported such that the apparatus main body can be freely moved, by a guide mechanism, with respect to the movable carriage in a horizontal X-axis direction orthogonal to the Z-axis direction and in a vertical Y-axis direction orthogonal to both of the Z-axis direction and the X-axis direction.

A production line comprises at least one assembly station which is electronically controlled, in which a chain-conveyor device feeds with continuous motion a plurality of pallets carrying parts to be assembled. The production line further comprises at least one module for carrying containers provided with a plurality of part-holder containers for supplying parts to said at least one assembly station. The module comprises a plurality of drawers associated to a paternoster conveyor system.

An assembly system that assembles insulation plates and mounting bars to a stack may include a stack transferring device that discharges a stack pressed by a stack pressing device to the outside; an insulation plate attaching device that attaches insulation plates to a first opposite side and a second opposite side of the stack that is discharged to the outside by the stack transferring device; a mounting bar attaching device that attaches mounting bars to the stack to which the insulation plates are attached; and a bolt assembling device that assembles bolts to the mounting bars that are attached to the stack.

A robot system including a plurality of robots that are arranged at intervals and that each perform machining on a work; and a tool storage unit that stores a tool used when each of the robots performs machining on the work and that is disposed at a position allowing at least one of the robot to take out the tool, wherein the respective robots are provided with hands with which the tool stored in the tool storage unit can be handled; and, when one of the robots needs to exchange the tool.

Provided is a bearing insertion apparatus in which a movable carriage is provided on a base placed on a floor surface in a manner of being movable in a horizontal Z-axis direction corresponding to a direction in which the movable carriage moves toward or away from a housing. In addition, an apparatus main body for supporting a rolling bearing at a distal end thereof is supported such that the apparatus main body can be freely moved, by a guide mechanism, with respect to the movable carriage in a horizontal X-axis direction orthogonal to the Z-axis direction and in a vertical Y-axis direction orthogonal to both of the Z-axis direction and the X-axis direction.

A manufacturing apparatus (2) for components (3), which has at least one movable loading station (20) designed as a tool magazine (13) and having reception points (39) with different tools (4, 5, 6, 7) for different component types A-I. The loading station (20) is connected to one or more machining stations (20, 22) at which at least one machining device (23) and at least one handling device (24) for handling and releasing the components (3) from the tool (4, 5, 6, 7, 8) are arranged. The selected Figure is FIG. 5.

A system and method for vehicle assembly may include a vehicle body sensing unit sensing positions of vehicle bodies conveyed at regular intervals along a vehicle body convey line, a tool sensing unit disposed on a fastening tool for assembling parts to a vehicle body and sensing movement displacement of the fastening tool with respect to an origin of the fastening tool, a tool controller that transmits a fastening torque value of a predetermined part to the fastening tool in accordance with the movement displacement of the fastening tool and records an accumulated value of the movement displacement of the fastening tool, and a main controller that stores a result value of fastening the part, corresponding to a vehicle number of the vehicle body, on the basis of the accumulated value of the movement displacement of the fastening tool and positional information of the vehicle body.

A robot system includes an end effector configured to hold a workpiece, an operation device connected to the end effector and configured to operate the end effector, and a control device configured to control an operation of the operation device. The control device controls: a step of assembling the workpiece in a form in which a pressing-target object is sandwiched by arranging the pressing-target object on a first plate jig arranged at a set position and thereafter placing a second plate jig on the first plate jig through operating the end effector; and a step of conveying the workpiece to press position at which the pressing-target object is pressed by holding the pressing-target object, the first plate jig, and the second plate jig altogether as the workpiece with the end effector.

An integrated module for forming, dressing and changing and an apparatus includes a primary mechanism, a forming mechanism, a dressing mechanism and a changing mechanism. The primary mechanism includes a mounting surface. The forming mechanism is configured to squeeze an electrode cap. The dressing mechanism is configured to cut the electrode cap. The changing mechanism is configured to remove or install the electrode cap. The forming mechanism, the dressing mechanism, and the changing mechanism are all provided on the mounting surface and are arranged at intervals from each other. According to the present application, the forming mechanism, the dressing mechanism and the changing mechanism are integrated on the mounting surface of the primary mechanism, thereby facilitating automatic switching between the dressing and forming functions, and thus the time required for manual operation and space occupation are greatly reduced.
