Several assembly automation systems offered recently by Westinghouse to the automobile industry will be described. These include water jet cutting, seam sealing, glass preparation and glass decking. The challenges of integrating the systems, including the importance of control and communications technologies, will be explored. Robotic enabled water jet cutting involves the cutting and trimming of molded acoustical and thermal insulation materials. Seam sealing uses vision systems to track the welded seams of a car body, and robots to dispense sealant. Glass preparation utilises robots to clean the edges of windshields and dispense primer, adhesive and foam dam. Glas decking utilises line tracking capabilities to follow a vehicle as it moves along the assembly line, and vision systems to locate the windshield opening and provide offset information. A robot inserts the prepared glass.
