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 to improve the quality and productivity of the process. The system uses image capture to correct the position of the headliner during assembly, eliminating nonuniformity issues that may arise when operators manually mount and assemble headliners for different vehicle types. The innovation reduces the need for manual labor and improves the overall efficiency of the assembly process.
- The system and method automate the assembly of vehicle headliners.
- Image capture is used to correct the position of the headliner during assembly.
- Nonuniformity issues that may occur with manual assembly are resolved.
- The system is adaptable to different vehicle types.
- The innovation reduces the need for manual labor.
- Productivity is improved through full process automation.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in various industries and sectors where the assembly of vehicle headliners is required. Some potential applications include:
- Automotive manufacturing
- Aerospace industry
- Public transportation vehicles
- Recreational vehicles
Problems Solved
The technology addresses several problems associated with manual assembly of vehicle headliners, including:
- Nonuniformity of assembly quality
- Time-consuming and labor-intensive manual processes
- Inefficiency in adapting to different vehicle types
- Potential errors and inconsistencies in the assembly process
Benefits
The use of the described system and method offers several benefits, including:
- Improved assembly quality and uniformity
- Reduction in manual labor requirements
- Increased productivity and efficiency
- Ability to adapt to different vehicle types
- Minimization of errors and inconsistencies in the assembly process
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.
