  • Publication number: 20240091947
    Abstract: A collaborative dual robot hinge mounting system includes: a first robot including an end effector that moves a pair of bolts in position to be run through a pair of hinges and into a BIW, where the end effector includes a first bolt runner and a second bolt runner; and first and second cameras that detect locations or orientations of hinge mounting holes on the BIW for the pair of hinges. A control module sends to a second robot the locations or orientations of the hinge mounting holes to signal the second robot to position the pair of hinges relative to the BIW and, in response to detecting the pair of hinges being placed relative to the BIW, drives the pair of bolts via the first bolt runner and the second bolt runner through the pair of hinges and into the hinge mounting holes in the BIW.
