METHOD OF PLACING ARTICLE IN PRESET SPATIAL POSITION AND DEVICE FOR REALIZATION OF THIS METHOD Russian patent published in 2004 - IPC

FIELD: mechanical engineering; placing the articles in preset spatial position in accepted coordinate system; aircraft manufacture. SUBSTANCE: proposed method includes setting the base coordinate system and connecting the surface of article with at least three base point carriers; said point do not lie in one straight line. Rated position of base points of article in working space is determined by means of respective number of external carriers of base points which geometrically mating to carriers of base points of article; external carriers of base points mounted on modules of three-coordinate motion are moved separately and are monitored by instrumental system. After external carriers of base points have been placed in preset position, carriers of base points of articles and those of external base points are matched and are locked. Device proposed for realization of this method includes carriers of base points on each coordinate motion module and geometric profile of carrier of external base points is mating relative to carrier of base points of article. EFFECT: increased productivity; reduced usage of materials. 3 cl, 1 dwg
