Patent ID: 7854361

Claim:
A method for assembling components of a vehicle body in a processing station having a geometry box with positioning points comprising: clamping and retaining in precise position a component of a vehicle body on the geometry box using a clamping frame; feeding another component of the vehicle body to the geometry box and retaining the another component in precise position on the geometry box using a clamping frame comprising multiple independent clamping frame parts; wherein the feeding and retaining is executed as follows: grasping the another component using only one clamping frame part of the multiple independent clamping frame parts; pre-positioning the only one clamping frame part and the another component on the geometry box in relation to the component already retained on the geometry box; feeding an empty clamping frame part of the multiple independent clamping frame parts to the another component pre-positioned on the geometry box; fixing in precise position the another component by grasping the another component using the empty clamping frame part; activating positioning and fixing units on the geometry box so that via the clamping frame parts the another component is brought into final position on the component already retained on the geometry box.
