Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A hemming system of panels for a vehicle hems panels of various types of vehicles by loading, hemming, and unloading of the panels of vehicles using twin turn tables 100 connected to each other by a carrier. As such, the hemming system improves productivity, reduces working time by automatically repeating loading, hemming, and unloading of panels and transporting of molds using platform trucks, and increases the commercial values of products by improving the quality of hemming panels.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A hemming system for panels of a vehicle, comprising: a first rotatable turn table; a second rotatable turn table; a first carriage and a second carriage disposed in parallel to first rails on outer sides of the first and second rotatable turn tables, the first carriage and the second carriage being second rails that extend continuously between the first and second rotatable turn tables; a loading member configured to load panels for the vehicle; and an unloading member configured to unload the panels for the vehicle, wherein the first and second rotatable turn tables are connected to each other via the first rails, the loading member is movable on the first carriage fully between the first rotatable turn table and the second rotatable turn table, the unloading member is movable on the second carriage fully between the first rotatable turn table and the second rotatable turn table, and a carrier is located between the first and second carriages and configured to transport the panels between the first and second rotatable turn tables. 2. The hemming system according to claim 1 , wherein the first rotatable turn table has platform trucks disposed thereon. 3. The hemming system according to claim 2 , wherein the carrier is disposed on the first rails and configured to carry the platform trucks from the first rotatable turn table to a hemming member. 4. The hemming system according to claim 1 , wherein the loading member is movably disposed on the first carriage where the first turn table is disposed. 5. The hemming system according to claim 1 , wherein the first rotatable turn table and the second rotatable turn table have a hemming member configured to hem panels for the vehicle therebetween. 6. The hemming system according to claim 1 , wherein the unloading member is movably disposed on the second carriage where the second rotatable turn table is disposed. 7. The hemming system according to claim 1 , wherein the first carriage and the second carriage are located outside the first and second rotatable turn tables.
