PANEL POSITIONING APPARATUS AND PANEL INTEGRATION METHOD

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a panel positioning device capable of achieving reduction of a size and enables marriage without depending on an angle of a folding part of an outer panel. SOLUTION: The panel positioning apparatus 1 includes: an outer panel support device 20 for supporting an outer panel 11 from the below; and an inner panel support device 30 for supporting an inner panel 12 from the above. The outer panel support device 20 has first lower surface abutting parts 23 and fourth lower surface abutting parts 26 which abut on the lower surface of the outer panel 11. The inner panel support device 30 has front side upper surface abutting part 344 and rear side upper surface abutting parts 364 exposed below the inner panel 12 and abutting on an upper surface of a part on which the lower surface abutting parts 23, 26 of the outer panel 11 abut. The outer panel 11 and the inner panel 12 are overlapped with each other and the outer panel 11 is sandwiched by the lower surface abutting parts 23, 26 and the upper surface abutting parts 344, 364. In this state, the folding part 112 of the outer panel 11 is made to be folded. COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT
