Here, the complex workpieces are optimally positioned for welding. Thus positions which are difficult to access can be reached and an optimum weld quality is achieved. and at six manual welding workstations. The partially automatic transport technology permits the smooth component transport between the different production stages, optimal logistics paths, short cycle times and minimum space requirements for provisioning areas.
