Abstract

The invention concerns a method and a device for feeding, clamping, and processing, particularly for geometric welding of automobile body components in a work station. The invention method consists of side-section clamping frames which, after receiving a body side section with the help of portal robots which travel along an elevated four-axle portal in the X-Y axis, are brought into the geometrical welding station, positioned at both sides of the body conveyer system for geometrical welding. The device is characterized in that a four-axle portal (2) is arranged above the geometrical welding station and along which four-axle portal (2), on each side of the body conveyer system (1), at least one portal robot (3), from which side-section clamping frames (9) are hung, can travel in the X-Y axis between a position for receiving the body side sections (8) and a position for clamping and welding the body. The four-axle portal (2) consists of rails (5) which are stationary and parallel or at right angles to the body conveyer system (1), one or more cross members (4) which can travel along the rails (5), one or more portal robots (3) which can travel in the longitudinal direction of the cross members (4), and side-section clamping frames (9) which are vertically movable and/or rotatably attached about a ventricle axis on the portal robot (3).
