Really cool! Did you put it on your YouTube channel?
I think my grandson would like watching that video on the big screen with all that robot play in it!
Pretty obvious why cars cost so much. Hay @Dodge72, this is right up your alley!
Gotta pay for mechanical slaves.
ROBOTS WERE ALMOST FREAKY !!
That was a CMM, I used to write programs for them before I retired, they measure the tolerances in X,Y,Z, that body was pulled off the line by the quality department for testing. I miss working with that stuff. Back in the early days bodies were bolted on a surface plate and measured by hand.My favorite part was the dimensional(?) testing, the part near the beginning with the little pointer robots touching various points on the body. I wonder how they did that back in the day, checking the production dimensions... The welding robots were nuts too. I cringed though when they were putting on the front and rear "panels" and fender flares... all plastic with those stupid clips, workers just hitting them until they snapped into place ughhh. I'm curious now I want to watch a similar video but for a Toyota or Porsche lol
CMM- Coordinate Measuring Machine, for the uninitiated. That was cool work Mitch. I did a little bit as a tool maker apprentice.That was a CMM, I used to write programs for them before I retired, they measure the tolerances in X,Y,Z, that body was pulled off the line by the quality department for testing.

That's cool, I measured all the new tooling for the company I worked for, I was in quality control, and was their Tooling tech/Lab tech. We were a supplier to Toyota, I was there 22 years.CMM- Coordinate Measuring Machine, for the uninitiated. That was cool work Mitch. I did a little bit as a tool maker apprentice.
I was a tool maker at a company that did contract work for the big three. We did individual stampings (fenders, roofs, floor pans, wheel wheels, whatever) and sub assemblies (inner and outer hoods, doors, trunk lids, hatch lids, etc)
Individual panels were pit in an inspection fixture and measured with go-no go gauges, as I remember. It's been a while and I didn't work QC. We didn't assemble bodies in our plant.
Near the beginning of the video, you can see dies stamping roofs. The gray part is the die itself. (you can only see the upper, there is a matching, opposite lower below the stamping) That's what I built.
I only worked there 10 years. They were in business for 85 years and folded up basically because of the old technology they used, and resulting inefficiency. Those robots put a lot of assembly workers on the street. They did add to the skilled trades, though.
Not the rims that came on a Demon. Don't know what up with that. I think that was the last one built. It left there and went to Penske and was painted red. All Demons started as black or white.
why not?No way in hell anybody is going to confuse a 72 Challenger for a 72 Demon...
