From Parts To Perfection
Posted on 27. Jan, 2009 by admin in Car Parts
I have written many articles in the past about the precision and amazingly speed that robots operate at in order to get thousands of car parts together to form one joint, solid, functioning item. It really is amazing that we have come so far, in such a short period of time. With so little human input into the car assembly process these days, the question must surely be asked - what happens if something goes wrong? What happens if a robot accidentally misses the correct place to weld, and this is not picked up by the on board laser machines? What happens if other car parts fail to attach themselves to the body of the car in the correct manner, and yet the production process continues? After all - are robots are trustworthy as people?
To answer the latter question - technology has evolved so much recently that actually - yes, robots can be as, or even more reliable than humans. Now to address the previous questions - what if something goes wrong? Well, you will be pleased to know that whilst human interaction in the assembly process has been reduced - it is still present for this exact reason. Humans check everything that the robots do, and this is how we go from parts, to perfection.
