Abstract

SUMMARY

This paper describes an automatic assembly method by reference searching followed by workpiece repositioning. In such a case, the adjustment of the piece to be assembled to its relative location is obtained before the final insertion phase.

The efficiency of the method is shown in the case of the automatic fitting of a car suspension triangle. The main elements of the prototype designed for this task are described and their principles are developed. Considerations regarding less specific devices lead to a possible improvement of the flexibility of the assembly method.
