Marriage Stations

Assembly frames are transported from the chassis rigging to chassis installation via the “connecting material handling technology.” This includes, for example roller conveyors, toothed chain conveyors, self-driving cars, traversal cars, eccentric lifting tables, lifting stations, swiveling tables, turntables, and transfer stations. The connecting material handling technology also serves as a buffer between the rigging section and chassis installation, varies in length according to requirement, and can extend over several intermediate levels. The chassis and drive train are coupled and uncoupled on the assembly frame and the chassis screwed in at chassis installation.


Multiple work stations are generally passed through in cycles here. Continuous production is also possible, e.g. with automated guided vehicle systems (AGV). Both worker-guided devices and automatic screwing devices with EC screwdrivers (e.g. with robots) are used for screwing in the engine compartment. For screwing below the vehicle, NC axles or robots with EC screwdrivers and firing pins are used, as well as automatic screwing devices. Other screwing can be done by worker-guided screwing devices. Operating platforms with entrance stairs and railings or platforms, along with their safety technology, allow workers unhindered and safe access to manual or semi-automated screwing points.
