ABSTRACT:
A positioning system for installing body side moldings on cars or trucks is disclosed. The system automatically positions first and second spaced apart portions of a side molding platen in precise positions with respect to widely spaced locations on assembly line cars or trucks where successive vehicles have slightly differing pitch, yaw and roll orientations with respect to the positioning system. The positioning system comprises: A support unit; first and second positioners supported by the unit for engagement with respective first and second product locations to position the first and second platen portions with respect to the first and second product locations; the positioners have first and second product locator structures for respectively engaging and locating the first and second product locations with respect to the first and second positioners; first and second platen actuators carried by the first and second positioners move the platen portions into operating positions precisely positioned with respect to the product locations; and, connecting structure secures the first and second actuators to the first and second platen portions for limited relative motion to enable the positioning system to accommodate pitch, roll and yaw variations in the vehicle orientation.
