Abstract: A method for inspecting a preservation layer of a motor vehicle component during the manufacture of a motor vehicles. A preservation medium is applied having fluorescent additives to a component of the motor vehicle in a coating region. An inspection head having at least one camera and a UV light source is then caused to move adjacent to an inspection region that is a partial region of the coating region. The UV light source is the caused to emit radiating light onto the inspection region and the at least one camera is concurrently caused to record at least one image of the inspection region. An examination of the at least one recorded image is then conducted for a faulty coating with the preservation medium.

Abstract: A method for production of a motor vehicle that includes providing a device for positioning motor vehicle parts that comprises a base frame having at least one base module arranged thereon, and at least one exchangeable docking plate configured for connection to the base module, the at least one exchangeable docking plate having arranged thereon a plurality of receivers configured to hold the motor vehicle parts, transferring the at least one exchangeable docking plate to the base frame, connecting, at a configuration station, the at least one exchangeable docking plate to the base module, fitting, at a work station, a motor vehicle part to the at least one exchangeable docking plate, such that the motor vehicle part is held by the receivers, and equipping the motor vehicle part with add-on parts.

Abstract: A method for testing the dimensional accuracy of transportable positioning devices for the production of a motor vehicle. The method includes providing locaters on positioning devices so that each body component of the motor vehicle is accurately geometrically positioned on a respective one of the positioning devices. The method also includes moving, in a motor vehicle production cycle, the positioning devices with the respective body component positioned thereon to different workstations. The method further includes measuring, by a control unit during the motor vehicle production cycle in the workstations and/or in an inline measuring station for an acquisition of measured values in the motor vehicle production cycle, predefined measuring points on each body component positioned on the positioning device. The method additionally includes evaluating, by the control unit, the predefined measuring points to determine a dimensional accuracy of the transportable positioning device.
