The device includes a main frame, at least one main module configured to be disposed on the main frame, at least one interchangeable first docking plate configured for releasable connection to the main module, and a plurality of first receptacles, arranged on the interchangeable first docking plate, configured to hold the motor vehicle parts at a predefined position during the production.

A method for production of a motor vehicle that includes providing a device for positioning motor vehicle parts that comprises a base frame having at least one base module arranged thereon, and at least one exchangeable docking plate configured for connection to the base module, the docketing plate having arranged thereon a plurality of receivers configured to hold the motor vehicle parts, transferring a first docking plate to the base frame, connecting, at a configuration station, the docking plate to the base module, fitting, at a work station, a motor vehicle part to the docking plate, such that the motor vehicle part is held by the receivers, and equipping the motor vehicle part with add-on parts.

A first rod (21) is inserted into a first guide hole (11) so as to be movable in a vertical direction. A second rod (22) is inserted into a second guide hole (12), which crosses the first guide hole (11), so as to be movable in a horizontal direction. An accommodation groove (31) is disposed in a lower half portion of the first rod (21). The second rod (22) is provided with an insertion portion (32) to be fitted in the accommodation groove (31). A cam groove (38) provided in the insertion portion (32) is fitted over a pin (35) provided in the lower half portion of the first rod (21). A drive transmission (D) connected to the second rod (22) moves the second rod (22) in the horizontal direction.

A rotary indexing table assembly includes an axis of rotation, a rotation element and a receiving assembly. The rotation element is rotatable about the axis of rotation and has a centering opening coaxial with the axis of rotation. The receiving assembly has a spring system and a pin assembly. The pin assembly has a pin body, movable along the axis of rotation by the spring system and settable in a set-up state or a blocking state. In the set-up state, the rotation element is releasably connected to the receiving assembly, and in the blocking state, the rotation element is fixedly connected to the receiving assembly.

A holding apparatus/workpiece adapter apparatus arrangement includes a holding apparatus and a workpiece adapter apparatus. The workpiece adapter apparatus is positioned and fixed, with a workpiece fastened thereto, by the holding apparatus. The holding apparatus has partially cylindrical positioning elements, which engage in an associated cylindrical positioning recess and a positioning slot and position the workpiece adapter apparatus in an x and a y direction. The workpiece adapter apparatus bears by mating contact surfaces against contact surfaces of the holding apparatus and is clamped by linearly displaceable clamping elements and pressed against the contact surfaces, and thus positioned in a z direction. For clamping, clamping surfaces of the clamping elements bear against mating clamping surfaces of the workpiece adapter apparatus.

A machining fixture, comprising a base, an air cylinder, an air cylinder piston and connecting rod, a supporting guide sleeve, a sliding supporting seat, a thrust ball bearing holder and spherical bead, a floating platform, a first connecting screw, a compression block, a pin shaft, a push rod pin, a second connecting screw, a center positioning shaft, a third connecting screw, a guide sleeve, a supporting plate, an oil cylinder piston and connecting rod and a one-way oil cylinder. The floating centering self-clamping machining fixture is for machining flange-type, which improves positioning accuracy and machining precision. The fixture has an automatic returning floating platform, achieving the automatic alignment of the parts; after the alignment, a floating support moves down and is changed to a rigid support, improving stability; and a positioning rod continues to move down, such that a workpiece is automatically clamped by an ejector rod oscillating arm mechanism.

A first piston, a first cylinder chamber, a second cylinder chamber, and a second piston are provided to be arranged side by side along a first direction from a base body side toward a fixation-target object side in an order of the first piston, the first cylinder chamber, the second cylinder chamber, and the second piston.
