ABSTRACT:
An automatic wheel assembly mounting system, for use on a vehicular assembly line, in which an array of fastener members is prepared, corresponding in number and geometric pattern to the array of coacting fastener members on the vehicle hub and to the array of bolt holes on the wheel assembly; a wheel assembly is rotated at an orientation station to bring the bolt holes into angular registry with the arrayed fastener members; the wheel assembly and arrayed fastener members are brought together and moved in registry to a staging position adjacent to but spaced laterally from a vehicle hub positioned at the wheel assembly mounting station on the assembly line and the arrayed fastener members, wheel assembly, and hub are relatively rotated to move the arrayed fastener members, the bolt holes in the wheel assembly, and the coacting fastener members on the hub into angular registry with each other at the staging position; the wheel assembly and arrayed fastener members are thereafter moved laterally onto the hub and the arrayed fastener members are secured to the coacting fastener members on the hub to secure the wheel assembly to the hub.
