Methods and systems are disclosed for joining A-class panels with a body of a vehicle without the use of hemming. Vehicle outer panels are bonded to the vehicle structure (whether body structure or door/liftgate/hood structure) via an inductively cured adhesive joint. The process enables the body in white to be painted one color thereby minimizing painting costs and reducing any process risks. It also enables the outer panels to be painted separately and efficiently which increases throughput. The present disclosure does not require hemming at all. The present disclosure does not require spot-welds. A specialized structural epoxy adhesive filled with glass beads is laid onto the inner panel. The outer panel is then mounted onto the inner panel whereby the glass beads control the gap. The fixture used for this process incorporates an automated arm which swings the induction curing equipment over the outer panel to a precise gap. 1.

A method and an assembly for pivoting a movable component having a drive device with an electric drive motor in order to influence a pivoting of the component between a first setting and a second setting. A position sensor detects a position measure for a setting of the component and a speed parameter for a displacement speed of the component. During a displacement of the component with the speed parameter, an electrical setpoint current intensity for the electric drive motor is ascertained, and an associated setpoint voltage is set. The setpoint voltage is increased if a current intensity flowing through the drive motor is lower than the electrical setpoint current intensity, and the setpoint voltage is reduced if the current intensity flowing through the drive motor is higher than the electrical setpoint current intensity.
