Reshaping of deformed components for assembly

Abstract:

There is described a method and system for reshaping a component for assembly that may have been deformed pre-assembly and post-fabrication. As-fabricated measurements are used to determine a baseline for the component and as-mounted measurements are used to determine a deformation parameter as a function of the baseline. The component may be reshaped using correction displacements applied to a positioning device of an assembly tool to which the component is mounted for assembly.
