Application of robots for spotwelding the Cargo heavy truck cab, for spraying Transit van stone protection and for paint spraying the Cargo fuel tanks. Experiences of installation, commissioning and production problems are outlined. A brief discussion is given of current developments and requirements of future truck manufacturing robot installations. The conclusions indicate that robots will continue to enter Ford Truck plants and that each application will require tooling and signalling systems to be engineered specifically for robots. (Peters)
