  • Patent number: 11046525
    Abstract: A vehicle body tracking system of a vehicle assembly line provided at a conveyor unit for transferring a vehicle body may include: a mounting frame to be installed at a power rail of the conveyor unit; a pair of rotating bodies installed at the mounting frame; a driven chain to be combined to the pair of rotating bodies and combined with a drive chain that travels along the power rail; and an encoder sensor installed at the mounting frame and connected to at least one rotating body of the rotating bodies. In particular, the driven chain travels on an endless track, and the encoder sensor detects a rotation amount of the at least one rotating body to output the detected rotation amount to a controller.

  • Patent number: 10532887
    Abstract: A vehicle body tracking system of a vehicle assembly line determines, in real time, a position of a vehicle body transferred to process sections divided by a predetermined pitch. The tracking system includes: a vehicle body detecting unit installed at a starting point of the assembly line so as to detect the vehicle body; an encoder unit provided at a conveyor unit, which travels along the assembly line and transfers the vehicle body, so as to detect a rotation amount of a rotating body rotated by a traveling body of the conveyor unit; and a controller to receive a detection signal from the vehicle body detecting unit to acquire identification information of the vehicle body and to calculate a moving distance of the vehicle body for each process section by receiving the detection value from the encoder unit.
