A robotic system and process for automatically orienting/positioning a vehicle panel prior to its installation to a vehicle. The panel is first moved by the robot from a temporary storage position to an alignment fixture that acts to initially define the orientation/position of the panel in two directions. The robot subsequently contacts the panel such that the panel is pushed against a position stop that defines the position or the panel in a third direction. With the panel properly oriented/positioned, the robot removes the panel from the alignment fixture and transfers it to the vehicle installation. Panels of dissimilar size and/or shape may be installed using the same system and process.

La présente invention concerne un procédé et un système robotique d'orientation et/ou de positionnement automatique de tableau de bord d'automobile avant son installation sur l'automobile. Le robot commence par prendre le tableau de bord dans son poste de rangement provisoire et l'amène sur un bâti de présentation servant à définir l'orientation et/ou la position du tableau selon deux axes. Le robot vient toucher ensuite le panneau de façon à le pousser contre une butée de positionnement définissant la position ou le tableau de bord selon un troisième axe. Une fois que le tableau de bord est correctement orienté et/ou positionné, le robot retire le tableau de bord du bâti de présentation et le transfère le transfère au montage dans le véhicule. Le système et le procédé de l'invention permettent le montage de tableaux de bord de différentes dimensions et/ou formes.
