Abstract

The assembly of large components is characterized by manual processes and customer-specified products. These are just two of the challenges for the efficient automation of assembly processes. In the field of large component assembly, the goal is to synchronize between the handling system and the moving work piece placed on an unguided transport system. One approach to solve this problem is a direct reference between the product and the assembled work piece. This referencing is done by using a global reference system in which every handling system can be referenced to every work piece throughout the whole production line. This article will show the first results using a global reference to track large components on an unguided conveyor. Moreover, it investigates the question if the metrology system, which was used here, is able to detect even small position deviations on higher frequencies.
