Car rust has been a big problem. To improve the effectiveness of rustproofing, car materials and some methods are being developed. Sealing the seams of body panels is one important method. But the sealing operation is a difficult process and it is not easy to maintain quality standards for workmen and automatized systems. To overcome this problem, we developed an automatic robot sealing system with following features:
1.
The system can be easily installed on an existing conveyor and follows the line conveyor in synchronization during sealing operation.
2.
Small robots can cover wide area inside the vihecle.
3.
New sealant supply controllers can regurate the supply rate in response to speed and motion of robots with a high accuracy.
This system has already been installed in the Murayma plant and has proved successful in achieving a high quality sealing result.
