摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for a flexible support system using elongated support members to support a face of a module. The flexible support member(s) are arranged through a primary member with apertures, where the elongated support members are automatically returned to a home position by a self restoring mechanism, the position of the elongated support members are adjusted by the contacting forces applied by bringing the module and the flexible support apparatus together, then applying a clamping force to secure the elongated support members where the elongated support members can sustain the loads applied onto a module during an assembly process.

摘要： A method and apparatus are disclosed for a flexible support system using elongated support members to support a face of a workpiece. The flexible support members are arranged through at least one plane of perforated material, where the elongated support members are raised to the maximum designed position, the shafts of the elongated support members are subjected to a resistive force, the position of the elongated support members are adjusted by the contacting forces applied by bringing the workpiece and the flexible support assembly together, then applying a locking force to secure the elongated support members where the elongated support members can sustain the loads applied during the operation onto the workpiece. Additionally, methods are disclosed which allow the elongated support members to optionally drop upon reaching a designed position.
