VEHICLE HEADLINER ASSEMBLY SYSTEM AND VEHICLE HEADLINER ASSEMBLY METHOD - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17873034 titled 'VEHICLE HEADLINER ASSEMBLY SYSTEM AND VEHICLE HEADLINER ASSEMBLY METHOD

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a system and method for automating the assembly of vehicle headliners, which addresses the issue of inconsistent assembly quality and reduces the need for manual labor.

  • The system utilizes image capture to identify and correct any misalignments during the assembly process.
  • The automation of the assembly process eliminates the need for operators to individually mount and assemble headliners for different vehicle types.
  • The system improves productivity by reducing the manpower required for the assembly process.

Potential Applications

This technology can be applied in various industries and sectors, including:

  • Automotive manufacturing: Streamlining the assembly of vehicle headliners in different models.
  • Aerospace industry: Automating the assembly of headliners in aircraft cabins.
  • Furniture manufacturing: Improving the efficiency of headliner assembly in furniture production.

Problems Solved

The technology addresses the following problems:

  • Inconsistent assembly quality: By utilizing image capture and position correction, the system ensures uniformity in the assembly of vehicle headliners.
  • Manual labor requirements: The automation of the assembly process reduces the need for manual labor, resulting in cost savings and increased efficiency.

Benefits

The technology offers several benefits:

  • Improved assembly quality: By automatically correcting misalignments, the system ensures consistent and high-quality assembly of vehicle headliners.
  • Increased productivity: The automation of the assembly process reduces the manpower required, leading to improved efficiency and output.
  • Cost savings: By eliminating the need for manual labor, the technology reduces labor costs and increases overall cost-effectiveness.


Original Abstract Submitted

Disclosed are a vehicle headliner assembly system and a vehicle headliner assembly method wherein position correction based on image capture and full process automation resolve nonuniformity of assembly quality which may occur if operators manually mount and assembly vehicle headliners individually with regard to various vehicle types, and manpower required for processes is reduced, thereby improving productivity.
