Summary:The remarkly high degree of automation within body-in-white production, with high quality requirements and the increasing demand for product-flexible production form a conflict of objectives. The most significant challenges in making the operating resources of body-in-white manufacturing more flexible arise with the the development of model-flexible geometry fixtures, with the geometric and qualitative requirements being most significant in the production of vehicle doors. For the efficient design of model-flexible fixtures specific methods and software tools for part alignment, clamp point grouping and fixture design have been developed.
