Abstract:
1. A multi-flexible manufacturing plant for assemblies, to be joined together from several pre-fabricated parts, of vehicle bodies or body components, comprising a turntable, on which pick-up and clamping devices for similar and/or various types of assemblies are interchangeably arranged at several working locations, having an interchange station, arranged next to the turntable with which a pick-up and clamping device for a first type of assembly on the turntable can be replaced by a pick-up and a clamping device for another type of assembly, including several processing robots for joining operations with several processing robots, which can be fitted with grippers for specific types of pre-fabricated parts in order to draw prefabricated parts from pre-fabricated part magazines and to load and unload the pick-up and clamping devices with these pre-fabricated parts, as well as gripper interchange magazines for specific pre-fabricated part grippers, wherein both the interchange station for the pick-up and clamping devices and the gripper interchange magazines for the grippers are arranged at an outer edge of the components, forming an equipment cluster, of turntable, processing robots, gripper interchange magazines and prefabricated part magazines, so that they can be supplied from outside with pick-up and clamping devices and grippers; and wherein a center processing robot for joining operations is positioned in the center of the turntable with working locations.
