- Even solid body parts can be joined, for example, each a roof part with a sliding roof frame. Roll-folding is particularly suitable for joining, so that it is assumed by way of example that the device is a folding cell.
- the joining process is carried out at a processing position 15.
- the first components and second components of the same group are nested in the required position for the component composite layer relative to each other.
- the upstream processing stage are two Handling robot 1 and 2 arranged.

- the bearing elements 32 form the actual contact surface of the support device 30, ie, the positioned receptacle 20 rests on the bearing elements 32.
- the receptacle 20 can therefore be moved in the supported state by means of the recording robot 3 with relatively little effort relative to the support means 30, while it is supported directly on the bearing elements 32.
- This movable support advantageously allows rotational movements about an axis orthogonal to the contact surface, in the example the vertical axis Z, and also translational movements parallel to the contact surface, in the example case in the XY plane of the plan view.
- the processing robot 4 and 5 act with their tools 10 primarily in a parallel to the Z axis direction of action on the component assembly and thus on the receptacle 20 on the support means 30.
- the contact surface formed by the bearing elements 32, in the positioned state during processing the receptacle 20 rests with its rear side, has orthogonal to this direction of action Z and thus absorbs most of the processing forces.
- the abutment structure 31 has a passage 33 for the robot arm.
- the passage 33 extends in the Z direction through the abutment structure 31, and also opens to one side.
- the robot arm can therefore be moved from the side, by a movement orthogonal to the Z axis a little way into the investment structure 31 in order to create the preferably held at a central location receptacle 20 to the contact surface 32 can.
- optional movements of the receptacle 20 by the pickup robot 3 can therefore be effected from a central location.

- another processing area is shown at 17.
- the removal robot 6 can carry on its robot arm in particular a folding bed to take the composite component in this folding bed and in cooperation with a in the processing area 17, for example, fixedly arranged Rollfalztechnikmaschinection in a downstream Rollfalz- or other joining process on before the component composite in the Tray 16 is stored.
- the device can perform a type change of components quickly and flexibly.
- first components i, j and k are each of different types, one type per shelf, be stored or constantly transported in time to a series production of a larger Vietnamese institutionslim ' e.
- the device also has gripper shelves 18 for the handling robots 1 and 2, so that they can automatically exchange themselves in adaptation to the respective component type a gripper for the one type of component against another gripper for the other type of component itself.

- the component receptacles 20a to 2d are adapted to the different component components that can be produced with the different component types, ie in each case one receptacle 20a, 20b 5 20c or 20d per producible component assembly. Since the pickup robot 3 corresponding to the component composite selected and automatically docked receptacle 20, ie one of the images shown 20a to 2Od, while editing a certain type of composite on the pickup robot 3 remains, can be performed quickly and flexibly by an exchange, the pickup robot 3 , are changed from a composite of one type to another, for which a matching receptacle 20 is kept. The device is thus also suitable for type changes with only a small amount Quantities for each or some of the component types or composite types.
- the pickup robot 3 can change between the different receptacles 20a to 2Od arbitrarily and automatically quickly. In order to edit or produce even more different types of components or composite types, only further recordings 20 need to be maintained. The exchange of the currently located in the device recordings 20a to 2Od against others is easy and quick, since the recordings must be held only in a suitable position for automatic docking.

- the coupling halves 9a and 9b cooperate so that the receiving robot 3 with the coupling half 9a by a straight approach movement along the Z-axis and by a directed in the Z direction pressure force the receptacle 20 can automatically dock.
- the robot can rotate the receptacle 20 in its outermost wrist joint 8 about the Z-axis back and forth.
- the receptacle 20 is exemplified for the execution of a Rollfalzreaes. It comprises a carrier structure 21 with a rear side facing the robot arm, on which the coupling half 9b is arranged. At the opposite front of a folding bed 22 is arranged, which is reshaped a contour of the component to be folded of the composite to be produced. The folding bed 22 forms a strip-shaped narrow base for the relevant component, which follows the course of the joint flange.
- the receptacle 20 is a lightweight structure, but generally has a considerable weight of at least several times 10 kg, possibly even more than 100 kg.
- a running plate 23 is arranged, which forms on its surface facing the robot arm a running surface 24, with which the receptacle 20 is applied to the support device 30, namely its abutment structure 31. If the contact surface of the contact structure 31 as preferred and im Embodiment imputed formed by movably mounted bearing elements 32, the receptacle 20 is in the positioned, supported on the support means 30 state with the tread 24 on the bearing elements 32, so that the pickup robot 3, the receptacle 20 with low friction over the contact surface 32 and thereby move on the one hand, to be able to precisely position and on the other hand also reposition, this should be favorable for the processing.
- the low-friction possible mobility in the supported state can also be used with advantage to move the receptacle 20 with the recorded component group during processing by means of the recording robot 3, that is, while a supported by the support processing force acts.
