The body welding area has the responsibility of producing
the automobile body or shell. The process begins by building
the underbody or framework. The body sides and roof structures
are built as major sub-assemblies which are moved by computer-controlled
conveyance systems to the main framing stage.
Robots structurally weld these sub-assemblies together, forming
the entire body shell at one time. Next, critical dimensions
are inspected and the doors, hood, trunk lid and fenders are
installed. A final inspection is performed and the metal
is finished before the completed body is sent by overhead
conveyor to the paint area.
