US Patent:

Filed:
Nov 6, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/610376
Inventors:
James R. Speece - Milton WI

Abstract:
An automatic assembly system transports workpieces to a work station whereat the workpieces are processed into an assembled product. The automatic assembly system conmprises a monorail that defines a path above the work station. A trolley travels along the monorail supporting a workpiece carrier by means of a pair of latches pivotally connected to the trolley. A lowerator mechanism is mounted to the monorail above the work station. When a trolley stops above the work station, the lowerator mechanism thereat operates to lift the workpiece carrier from the trolly latches. The trolley latches retract and the lower mechanism then lowers the carrier and workpieces to the workstation without lowering the trolley or the monorail. A safety interlock prevents uncontrolled lowering of the carrier and workpieces. Tooling trays suitable for holding different sets of workpieces index in directions parallel to the monorail path to bring to the work station the tooling tray required for the particular workpiece being lowered to and processed at the work station.
