Abstract:
The subject matter disclosed herein relates to a method for assembling at least one panel and frames for producing part of an aircraft fuselage, the method including shaping the panel on support surfaces of a tool, wherein it includes holding each frame clamped against at least one sliding support surface arranged in a transverse plane, the sliding support surfaces of the various frames and the support surfaces being secured to the same tool and positioned relative to one another, and in putting in place permanent attachment elements for connecting the panel and the frames. The subject matter disclosed herein also proposes a tool for implementing the assembly method.
Abstract:
A method of laying up a segment on a layup surface using a layup head that is mobile with respect to the layup surface, the layup head supporting a spool of a tape of material which includes at least one layer to be laid up from which said segment is cut and at least one interliner, the method including applying the tape of material against the layup surface and removing the interliner using a separator. The tape of material is pressed firmly by a press roller against the layup surface before the interliner is removed as the layup head moves in an advancing movement. A layup head for implementing the method and a layup machine including the layup head are also described.
Abstract:
An effector includes at least one contact surface configured to bear against a face of a workpiece near a zone of the workpiece that is impacted by a tool supported by the effector. The contact surface includes at least one interface made of a ductile material interposed between the contact surface and the face of the workpiece.
