A vehicle body assembly system defines a preset pre-buck section and a preset main-buck section along a conveying route of a floor assembly, and may include: i) pre-buck units which are installed at both sides of the conveying route in the pre-buck section, respectively, restrict lower portions of side assemblies, which vary in accordance with a type of vehicle, with respect to both sides of the floor assembly, and preassemble the lower portions of the side assemblies to the floor assembly by a first welding robot; and ii) main-buck units which are installed at both sides of the conveying route in the main-buck section, respectively, restrict upper portions of the side assemblies preassembled by the pre-buck unit, and post-assemble vehicle body components to the upper portions of the side assemblies by a second welding robot.

Vehicle body assembly system

A pre-buck apparatus for a vehicle body assembling system comprises a pre-buck section and a main buck section that are set along a transfer path of a floor assembly. The pre-buck apparatus is formed in the pre-buck section, and while the side assembly is disposed in each of opposite sides of the transfer path in the pre-buck section, the pre-buck apparatus controls a lower portion of the side assembly, and the lower portion of the side assembly is pre-assembled to the floor assembly using a first welding robot.

Pre-buck apparatus for vehicle body assembling system

A smart tag is attached on a vehicle body in a vehicle manufacturing process. The smart tag includes a position measurement transmitter for transmitting signals for measuring position of a vehicle body, a wireless communication transceiver for performing wireless communication, a position sensor for sensing data for calculating a position of the vehicle body, a memory for storing data including vehicle body information, a controller for controlling operation of the smart tag, and a battery for supplying electric power to components of the smart tag.
