METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING VEHICLE BODY ASSEMBLY AND DEVICE THEREFOR

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To achieve space saving and cost reduction of capital investment in a vehicle body assembly device for obtaining a vehicle body assembly.SOLUTION: A vehicle body assembly device 50 has a lower jig 52, an upper jig 54 which is moved by an arm 64 of a robot, and a joining apparatus. The joining apparatus performs joining at separate timing for a lower side component (for example, a temporary assembly 12A of a rear floor frame 12) which is transported by the upper jig 54 and is positioned by the lower jig 52, an upper side component (for example, a temporary assembly 14A of a rear floor panel 14) which is held by the upper jig 54, and a temporary assembly 10A of an upper and lower assembly (for example, a rear floor component 10) which is formed in such a manner that an upper side assembly is overlapped on a lower side assembly by the lower jig 52.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】車体組立体を得るための車体組立装置につき、省スペース化及び設備投資の低廉化を図る。【解決手段】車体組立装置５０は、下治具５２と、ロボットのアーム６４によって移動する上治具５４と、接合装置とを有する。接合装置は、上治具５４で搬送されて下治具５２に位置決めされた下側構成部品（例えば、リヤフロアフレーム１２の仮組立体１２Ａ）、上治具５４に保持された上側構成部品（例えば、リヤフロアパネル１４の仮組立体１４Ａ）、下側組立体に上側組立体が下治具５２上で重畳されることで形成された上下組立体（例えば、リヤフロアコンポーネント１０）の仮組立体１０Ａに対し、別個のタイミングで接合を行う。【選択図】図５
