The word "opening" refers to the front and rear doors, the bonnet, the tailgate or trunk lid of a motor vehicle.

L'opération de sertissage consiste à sertir ensemble plusieurs parties en tôle de l'ouvrant, par exemple le caisson et le panneau extérieur d'une porte. Des exemples d'installation de sertissage de ce type sont décrits dans les brevets FR 2 651 699 et US 6 112 390.The crimping operation consists of crimping together several sheet metal parts of the opening, for example the box and the outer panel of a door. Examples of crimping installations of this type are described in patents FR 2 651 699 and US Pat. No. 6,112,390.

Le problème qui est à la base de la présente invention est de pouvoir installer rapidement des lignes de sertissage d'ouvrants dans des usines réparties dans le monde entier, capables de sertir des ouvrants pour plusieurs véhicules différents.The problem which is the basis of the present invention is to quickly install opening crimping lines in factories around the world, able to crimp sashes for several different vehicles.

Une telle installation de sertissage doit également être apte à s'adapter rapidement à un nouveau modèle de véhicule, c'est-à-dire ayant des ouvrants de dimensions et formes nouvelles.Such a crimping installation must also be able to adapt quickly to a new vehicle model, that is to say having openings of new dimensions and shapes.

Une autre préoccupation est de pouvoir augmenter les cadences de fabrication.Another concern is to be able to increase production rates.

Enfin, en raison du coût élevé de la surface disponible dans les usines, il convient de rendre les installations de fabrication les plus compactes possibles.Finally, because of the high cost of the area available in the factories, it is necessary to make the manufacturing facilities as compact as possible.

Le but de la présente invention est d'apporter des solutions aux problèmes techniques évoqués ci-dessus.The object of the present invention is to provide solutions to the technical problems mentioned above.

L'installation représentée sur la figure 3 fonctionne de la façon suivante :The robots 4 equipped with crimping wheels located on one of the two outer elongated supports, that is to say the supports 5 and 7, are adapted to crimp part of the opening placed on the corresponding pile 3, while that the robots located on the elongate support of the medium 6 are adapted to successively crimp the other part of said opening and, after rotation of 180 °, one of the parts of an opening placed on the heap between the elongate support middle 6 and the other external support, that is to say the support 7. The installation shown in Figure 3 operates as follows:

Le robot de manutention 1 situé à l'entrée de l'installation sur le support du milieu 6 dépose un ouvrant par exemple une porte de gauche sur le tas 3 situé entre le support 6 et le support 5. Ensuite, le robot 1 retourne à son origine pour prendre une porte de droite et la déposer sur le tas 3a compris entre le support du milieu 6 et le support extérieur 7.The handling robot 1 located at the entrance of the installation on the medium support 6 deposits an opening for example a left door on the pile 3 located between the support 6 and the support 5. Then, the robot 1 returns to its origin to take a right door and put it on the pile 3a between the medium support 6 and the external support 7.

Les deux tas 3 supportant les ouvrants sont ensuite avancés vers les robots de sertissage 4. Les robots de sertissage 4 situés sur le support extérieur 7 vont alors sertir l'ouvrant sur le tas situé entre les supports 7 et 6 et les robots 4 situés sur le support 6 du milieu vont sertir une autre partie du même ouvrant.The two piles 3 supporting the opening are then advanced to the crimping robots 4. The crimping robots 4 located on the outer support 7 will then crimp the opening on the heap between the supports 7 and 6 and the robots 4 located on the middle support 6 will crimp another part of the same opening.

Ensuite, ces robots situés sur le support 6 du milieu vont se retourner de 180° pour sertir l'ouvrant situé sur le tas 3 compris entre le support 6 et l'autre support extérieur 5.Then, these robots located on the medium support 6 will turn 180 ° to crimp the opening located on the pile 3 between the support 6 and the other outer support 5.

En même temps, une autre partie de ce même ouvrant est serti par les robots situés sur le support 5.At the same time, another part of this same opening is crimped by the robots located on the support 5.

Les robots de manutention 2 situés à la sortie de l'installation évacuent ensuite les deux ouvrants sertis vers une zone de stockage. Ces robots de manutention peuvent également accomplir d'autres opérations par exemple de finition sur les ouvrants sertis, telles que des points de soudure ou autres opérations de sertissage.The handling robots 2 located at the outlet of the installation then evacuate the two opening crimped to a storage area. These handling robots can also perform other operations for example finishing on crimped openings, such as welding spots or other crimping operations.

En cas de diminution de la cadence de fabrication, le nombre de robots de sertissage peut être réduit.In case of a decrease in the production rate, the number of crimping robots can be reduced.

Au contraire, en cas d'augmentation de la cadence de fabrication, un à trois robots de sertissage peuvent être ajoutés à l'installation.On the contrary, in case of increase of the production rate, one to three crimping robots can be added to the installation.

L'installation peut comprendre plusieurs lignes de fabrication, chacune comportant deux ou trois supports allongés 5, 6, 7 supportant des robots 1, 2, 4 et des tas de sertissage 3, l'ensemble de ces lignes de fabrication étant adapté pour sertir la totalité des ouvrants pour plusieurs types de véhicules.The installation may comprise several manufacturing lines, each comprising two or three elongate supports 5, 6, 7 supporting robots 1, 2, 4 and crimps 3, all of these manufacturing lines being adapted to crimp the all openings for several types of vehicles.

Ainsi avec trois lignes de fabrication telles que celle représentée sur la figure 3, il est possible de sertir tous les ouvrants, c'est-à-dire les portes avant gauche, les portes avant droite, le capot avant et la porte de coffre, pour quatre véhicules différents. Thus with three production lines such as that shown in Figure 3, it is possible to crimp all the doors, that is to say the left front doors, the right front doors, the front cover and the trunk door, for four different vehicles.
