Abstract
The invention discloses a method and a production installation for producing a sub-assembly consisting of a plurality of parts joined together, in which the first part () and second part () are removed from a parts delivery site in the vicinity of a transport device and deposited oriented in position on one of a plurality of parts transport carriers of the transport device, and subsequently together with the parts transport carrier transported to an assembly station. The parts transport carrier is stopped in the assembly station in a holding position, whereupon the parts (), oriented towards one another, are moved by means of a vertical positioning device () together from a transport position on the parts transport carrier into a preparation position, then positioned relative to one another, clamped and then joined to form a sub-assembly, whereupon the joined subassembly is again deposited on one of a plurality of parts transport carriers and transported away thereby. The parts transport carriers comprise a receiver with just one positioning means for holding one of the parts () during the transport and projecting lateral guide surfaces arranged spaced apart from one another in the advancing direction thereof, as well as two support surfaces for a part () supported thereon.
