Saab 9-5 MY 2010 – Assembly line photos
Posted by admin on Monday Nov 15, 2010 Under Image Galleries, MiscellaneaI came accross these new 9-5 assembly line photos when searching the Saab Media Online for some editorial images for the Saabisti magazine. They were so cool I decided to post them here too (they are free for editorial/non-commercial use).
- Raw material: Coils of sheet metal will soon be cut, stamped and welded to form the new 9-5′s body structure.
- Off the shelf: Side bodies for the new 9-5 racked up to await welding.
- Precision spraying: Banks of robotised spray guns ensure a prefect finish.
- Human touch: At Saab’s ultra-modern Paint Shop there is still no substitute for expert, hand-held spraying to get to places the robot sprayers cannot reach.
- Work in progress: Interior wiring and componentry the customer will never see lies exposed on the assembly line.
- Cradled with care: A new Saab 9-5 nears completion on the assembly line.
- Nearly ready: The doors of the new 9-5 are final pieces of the bodywork jigsaw to be put in place.
- End of the line: Complete and ready to roll, a new Saab 9-5 reaches the end of the assembly line.
- On the way to market: A new Saab 9-5 is pulled of the line at the Saab’s state-of-the-art production facility
