Abstract: This invention has as its object a six-axis head for correction of movements equipping a mobile tool (12) for mating assembly of an element on a support. The head comprises an upper frame (10) fastened to the mobile assembly tool defining a first geometric plane P.sub.1, an intermediate frame (16) defining a second geometric plane P.sub.2 and connected to the upper frame (10) by first drive means (M.sub.1, M.sub.2, M.sub.3) making it possible to perform two translations and a rotation of plane P.sub.2 in relation to plane P.sub.1, a lower frame (18) defining a third geometric plane P.sub.3 and connected to the intermediate frame (16) by second drive means (M.sub.4, M.sub.5, M.sub.6) making it possible to perform a translation and two rotations of plane P.sub.3 in relation to plane P.sub.2, means (20) for holding the element being fastened to the lower frame (18). It has application in automated placing of glazing elements (windscreens) on a motor vehicle body.

Abstract: A device is disclosed for automatic setting of a window element or headliner, particularly onto a vehicle body disposed on a support connected to a conveyor line. A movable setting tool is equipped with means for retaining said element and sensors for detecting the proximity of the vehicle body and particularly the frame to receive said element. The sensors send, possibly by processing means, control signals to drive means of said tool, in order to position the tool correctly with respect to the body onto which is rests.
