It would be a futile exercise to list all the machines used in a car factory. But here are some things you might find in a typical factory (from Robotics Business Review).
Assembly machines install parts and filter connectors. Some of the newer machines have wheels that actually mount the wheels on the car and tighten all the lug nuts at the same time.
Spot and arc welders assemble all modern car components. It usually has dozens of branches that connect to different points on the body. These cars look like a group of robots resting on hollow body panels that emerge from the car as a complete car.
Painting, coating and sealing robots protect people from highly hazardous environments filled with dangerous chemicals and gases. In addition, the cars leave a perfectly smooth and shiny finish when they leave the factory.
Part handling and machine maintenance robots take finished parts from presses and CNC machines to another part of the assembly process. They are especially useful in foundries where the temperature of molten metal reaches thousands of degrees and poses a great danger to people.
Stock removal robots help convert raw panels and cut them into finished parts. For example, for finished products that require clean edges, laser-guided precision robots can cut clean edges to prepare the part for final assembly.
Logistics robots are used to transport parts and raw materials to the installation site. These systems of mechanized robots can track inventory and ensure that stations around the factory are properly stocked and stocked at the right time.
With all these systems working at full capacity and flawlessly, car factories can run week after week with ever-increasing efficiency. Besides enabling more vehicles to be produced in less time, it also reduces worker injuries like never before.
