Abstract:
Disclosed is a method of forming a wheel assembly consisting of a wheel portion and a cover portion. The method includes handling the wheel portion from dunnage to a work cell with an outboard face of the wheel portion facing away from a supporting surface. Next, determining a planar position and a rotational position of wheel portion and retrieving the cover portion. The method proceeds with applying an adhesive to at least one of the back side of the cover portion and the outboard face of the wheel portion. Then, aligning the cover portion with the wheel portion utilizing the planar position and the rotational position. The next step is engaging the cover portion and the wheel portion with one another and maintaining the wheel portion in engagement with the cover portion for a predetermined amount of time with a predetermined amount of pressure to form the wheel assembly.

Claim (Index 15):
The method as set forth in  claim 12  wherein the step of retrieving the at least one cover portion includes the steps of:\n loading the at least one cover portion onto one of a plurality of nests disposed on a multi-position indexing system by at least one operator; \n signaling the multi-position indexing system that the one of the plurality of nests is populated by the at least one operator; \n moving another of the plurality of nests to the at least one operator using the multi-position indexing system; \n moving the one of the plurality of nests underneath a silicone adhesive dispenser using the multi-position indexing system; \n robotically applying a silicon adhesive on the back side of the at least one cover portion with a first robot; \n positioning one of the plurality of nests and the at least one cover portion including the at least one cover portion with silicone adhesive under one or more hot melt dispense nozzles to apply an appropriate adhesive pattern of the hot melt adhesive to the back side of the at least one cover portion for temporary fixturing of the at least one cover portion to the wheel portion using the second robot.
