METHOD FOR POSITIONING ELEMENTS OF PREFABRICATED STRUCTURES IN SPACE Russian patent published in 2021 - IPC G01C11/28 G06T7/70 G06T19/20 

FIELD: mechanical engineering.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to the field of mechanical engineering, in particular to aircraft construction, rocket engineering, shipbuilding, and concerns the development of methods for assembling objects of a complex shape in space that require high precision positioning of composite elements. A digital 3D model is formed. Adjustable racks are used on a coordinate table, the base of which contains a switchable magnet. A removable control bench mark is installed, having an identifying adapter equipped with labels, one of which is encoded. Coordinates are fixed for all adapters. Reference marks are placed on the surface of the coordinate table to digitize the base surface. An operator manually positions end bases by sequentially moving and rotating adjustable racks in space under control of a tracking device until bench marks are aligned with the required location on the 3D model. Positions of the bench mark are displayed on a screen. After setting the last rack, bench marks are removed and installed in landing sockets.

EFFECT: time is reduced, the accuracy of the assembly is increased, and the productivity of the assembly process is increased.
