Abstract: A method and apparatus for toy tabbing a vehicle body is provided. This method includes a carrier means for transporting a vehicle body into a single work station and a delivery means for delivering side aperture panels to the work station. Vehicle body parts are supplied within the work station by an electrically indexed parts magazine. A programmable robotic means is provided for loading and assembling the side aperture panels and the vehicle body components to the vehicle underbody. A positioning unit is also provided to support the side aperture panels adjacent to the underbody to allow the programmable robotic means to assemble the vehicle's main body framework.
