In passenger-car assembly and subassembly, few activities are automated. Usually conventional automatic stations perform operations such as tightening screws with torque control, performing pressfits, feeding of liquid materials, turning, rotating workpieces, etc. Automated systems frequency fail particularly in unit assembly because of the inadequate flexibility with respect to the number of variants and batch size, or because of the short production period of some of the assembled units. In car subassembly, industrial robots are used very hesitantly. Apart from the requirements concerning the assembly robot, the demands placed on the peripheral equipment necessary for assembly are listed. Using the example of motor assembly, conventional assembly line industrial robots can be used. The construction of a pilot working place for industrial robots at an assembly line was completed.
