ROBOT SYSTEM

The invention relates to a robot system (10, 40, 50, 60, 70) comprising at least one bracing apparatus (12, 14) for a vehicle body (16, 54) and a measuring apparatus (18, 20) for determining the difference (Δχ REAL, Ay REAL) between the position of a vehicle body (16, 54) braced in the bracing apparatus (12, 14) and a particular reference position (52) in the X and Y directions. At least one delivery locking unit (22, 56, 62) which has a first coupling apparatus (24a/b, 58) that is movable in the X and Y directions by means of respective drives and which can be locked at a predefinable position within the working area thereof is provided. A control apparatus (21) is provided for the purpose of controlling the delivery locking unit (22, 56, 62) in such a manner that the first coupling apparatus (24a/b, 58) moves into a working position taking into account the determined position differences (Δχ REAL, Ay REAL) and is locked there. Furthermore, an industrial robot (26, 74) having a second coupling apparatus (28) and a tool (30, 42) rigidly connected to the latter is present, wherein the control apparatus (21) is provided for the purpose of controlling the industrial robot (26, 74) in such a manner that the second coupling apparatus (28) is connected to the first coupling apparatus (24a/b, 58) in the working position thereof in a force-fitting manner taking into account the determined position differences (Δχ REAL, Ay REAL) and the tool (30, 42) is thereby braced in the working position. The invention also relates to a method for operating a robot system.
