  • Robotic automobile assembly
    Patent number: 4781517
    Abstract: A new robotic system is provided in which the robotic tool is mounted for movement on a gantry above the work piece upon which the work is to be performed. The tool is supported on two carriages each of which is movable with respect to each other and with respect to the gantry so that the tool has the capacity to move through five degrees of freedom and permit a more accurate response to a sensing system which determines the position of the work piece relative to a master and then moves the tool to a working position in substantial operational compliance with the master position.
