Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “Field of the Invention “The invention relates to a production station for workpieces, in particular veh icle body parts. The invention also relates to a production system. “Related Art “German utility model specification DE 20 2014 101 002 U1 describes a production station and a production system constructed from the stations that are intended to provide greater flexibility for the processes to be carried out in a product ion station and also to provide better and more flexible interlinking of product ion stations among one another. However, the disclosed type of flexibility only affects a scope of geometrical properties of the workpieces limited by respectiv e maxima. In particular in the automotive industry, and particularly in the prod uction of higher-quality vehicles, an ever-increasing individualization of the v ehicles and the associated vehicle body parts is desired. In extreme cases, this can lead to the desire to produce a lot size of one piece in such a production system. To date, however, this has not yet been possible without adapting the re spective production systems.
