When a Holder with Chassis and Roof arrives at the Roof Press Station, the Roof is pressed onto the Chassis.

Several Holders may be buffered, and only one at a time is allowed into the Roof Press Station by means of the same 'gating' system discussed earlier.

- I
n Figure 10, a Chassis-Roof Assembly (car without wheels) is moving up the conveyor belt ramp to the Wheel Press Station (see Figure 13-14). The empty Holder is released back into the Holder Conveyor Belt (see also Figure 1).
In Figure 11, we can see three empty Holders entering the Holder Conveyor Belt to be re-used.
