Process for the production of doors, flaps or individual parts from sheet metal in the body-in-white car body shop

摘要

The invention relates to a method for producing doors, hoods or single parts made of sheet metal in automotive bodyshells, whereby flat plates of sheet metal (6) are shaped as semi-finished products in forming units or forming lines (5), the shaped sheet metal is assembled in the bodyshell line with other sheets of metal, preferably by means of nesting, gelling, folding and optionally welding. The invention is characterised in that the plates are shaped in integrated-tool single-purpose forming cells (4) at the same speed as the manufacture of the bodyshells and the pressed parts thus formed are conveyed directly (i.e. without intermediate storage) to the bodyshell (3) cell or the bodyshell line (1) where they are assembled with other pressed pieces or other metal sheets or directly assembled with the body (2).
