Abstract: A production station for vehicle body parts is configured in a modular manner and has at least two production cells (8, 10; 12, 14), each of which has a separate work area (16, 18; 20, 22). The work areas have uniformly disposed robots (64, 66, 68, 70) and receiving arrangements (32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42) that interact with the robots. At least one transport arrangement (56) for required components (58, 60, 62) and workpieces (44, 46) is provided for both production cells (8, 10; 12, 14). A receiving arrangement store (24, 26; 28, 30; 110) with all of the receiving arrangements is assigned to each production cell (8, 10; 12, 14), and a transport arrangement (48, 50; 52, 54; 111) is provided for at least one production cell. The production cells are coupled to one another via a connecting axle (102) having at least one connecting robot (104).

Abstract: A method is provided for type-specific operating of an electric drive unit, wherein the drive unit is configured for coupling and driving a tool unit selected from a set of different types of tool units. The set includes at least one rotatory tool unit and at least one non-rotatory tool unit. The method includes: driving of a coupled tool unit by the drive unit; identifying operating data of the drive unit during the driving procedure; determining, based on the identified operating data, whether the coupled tool unit is a rotatory tool unit or a non-rotatory tool unit; and controlling the drive unit in a rotation control mode if the coupled tool unit is determined to be a rotatory tool unit, or in a non-rotation control mode if the coupled tool unit is determined to be a non-rotatory tool unit.

Abstract: A seat position detection apparatus for a vehicle seat which is guided using a seat rail in a floor rail of the vehicle. The seat position detection apparatus has a lock for the longitudinal setting of the seat rail and the floor rail in relation to one another, and a mechanical memory device that has a position determination unit and a position detection unit, which may be started symmetrically from both directions of the longitudinal adjustment of the vehicle seat to define a vehicle seat position.

Abstract: A vehicle seat adjuster for adjusting the inclination of a backrest with respect to the seat.
