In setting up assembly line production, one hundred years ago Henry Ford established the basis for industrial mass production of vehicles. The prerequisite was continually recurring work processes and identical parts. Today, it is above all robots that take on these activities in body shell production and assembly lines. At Ford Germany, the Borrmann Company equipped one assembly line for fenders, trunk lids, and hoods with eight IVC-3D three-dimensional smart cameras from SICK. The cameras serve to determine exactly the screwing positions subsequently used for robot vision guidance.
