A plurality of bucket rows configured by stacking a plurality of buckets along the conveying direction F can be arranged in the storage areas. The loading position indicating device 5 indicates a loading position P on the basis of the lot number allocated to a bucket to be loaded and the arrangement information of the buckets in the storage areas.

Abstract: A tire mounting apparatus is constructed from a first working mechanism and a second working mechanism that are separate from each other. The first working mechanism is provided with a tire holding device for holding a tire and with a temporary tightening device for temporarily tightening nuts onto hub bolts to which the tire is mounted. The second working mechanism is provided with a final tightening device means for finally tightening the temporarily tightened nuts. The final tightening device includes two nut runners and an interval adjuster for adjusting an interval between the two nut runners.

Abstract: A tire mounting method is provided for automatically mounting a tire onto hub bolts of a motor vehicle. The method includes gripping the tire and temporarily tightening nuts on the hub bolts on which the tire has been placed with a first working mechanism. The nuts that have been temporarily tightened by the first working mechanism are fully tightened with a second working mechanism, which is disposed in association with a first mounting region on a front wheel side or on a rear wheel side of the motor vehicle. The nuts that have been temporarily tightened by the first working mechanism are fully tightened with a third working mechanism, which is disposed in association with a second mounting region on the rear wheel side or on the front wheel side of the motor vehicle.

Abstract: A tire mounting method for automatically mounting tires onto hub bolts of a motor vehicle using a tire mounting device having a first working mechanism and a second working mechanism. The method includes feeding the motor vehicle intermittently so that hub bolts of a front wheel and hub bolts of a rear wheel are successively positioned in a tire mounting station. Tires are gripped by a tire gripping unit of the first working mechanism, and nuts are successively temporarily tightened onto hub bolts of front and rear wheels to which the tires are mounted. The nuts, which have been temporarily tightened, are then fully tightened using the second working mechanism.

Abstract: A method for mounting a soft member on a longitudinal member by pressing the soft member against the longitudinal member by a roller. The roller is rotated using a servomotor so that the peripheral speed (V2) of the pressing surface of the roller, which forms the outer peripheral surface of the roller, is equal to a transfer speed (V1) at which the roller is transferred along the longitudinal member or the peripheral speed is larger by 10% max. than the transfer speed (V1) partly in a roller transfer route. The soft member is pulled back in the opposite direction of the roller transfer direction by the rotating force of the roller to prevent the soft member from being loosened.

Abstract: An automobile run channel fitting device for fitting a run channel into an automobile door sash comprising a pair of robot arms 1 and 2 which act in harmony and a run channel fitting jig 3 attached to each robot arm, wherein the run channel fitting jig 3 comprises an upper roller unit 12 adapted to push the run channel to fit it into an upper sash, a rotatable lower roller 14 adapted to push the run channel to fit it into a lower sash, and a lower roller supporting means 15 adapted to support the lower roller 14 and insert the lower roller 14 into a gap formed between an inner panel and an outer panel. The lower roller supporting means 15 comprises a sliding mechanism 17, a bending section 18 and a roller supporting section 19.

Abstract: A method of installing an open seal on a flange provided at a door installation opening of a vehicle, the installation being made by pressing the seal against the flange by a roller. A side face of the open seal temporarily installed on the flange is pressed by the tapered outer peripheral surface of a flange formed at one end of the roller body. Then, a back face of the open seal is pressed by the roller towards the flange. The roller is moved along the flange with constant pressing force.

Abstract: An automobile run channel installing method for installing a run channel in a sash of an automobile door is provided. The method involves setting a run channel to a conveyance device having only a pair of arms, the run channel having a concave section and only two corner sections; pushing both corner sections of the run channel into corner sections of an upper portion of the sash, respectively; pressing and fitting an upper-sash roller of the arm into the concave section of the run channel to move from the corner section of the upper sash; and pressing and fitting a lower-sash roller of the arm into the concave section of the run channel to move from a higher portion to a lower portion of a lower portion of the sash and to fit the run channel into the lower sash.

Abstract: A method for mounting a soft member (11) on a longitudinal member (27) by pressing the soft member against the longitudinal member by a roller (21). The roller is so rotated that the peripheral speed (V2) of the pressing surface (21a) of the roller, which forms the outer peripheral surface of the roller, is equal to a transfer speed (V1) at which the roller is transferred along the longitudinal member or the peripheral speed is larger by 10% max. than the transfer speed (V1) partly in a roller transfer route. The soft member is pulled back in the opposite direction of the roller transfer direction by the rotating force of the roller to prevent the soft member from being loosened.

Abstract: A method of installing an open seal (13) on a flange (31) provided at a door installation opening (11) of a vehicle, the installation being made by pressing the seal (13) against the flange (13) by a roller (42). A side face (13e) of the open seal temporarily installed on the flange is pressed by a flange (46) formed at one end of the roller. Then, a back face (13d) of the open seal is pressed by the roller towards the flange (31). The roller is moved along the flange (31) with constant pressing force.
