A manufacturing system includes a configurable positioning apparatus and machining system for processing a workpiece retained by the positioning apparatus. The positioning apparatus has different configurations for retaining different types of workpieces, such as panels, fuselages, airfoil skins, and engine housings. The positioning apparatus includes a first support rail and a second support rail spaced apart from the first support rail. The first and second support rails support a plurality of stackable headers that cooperate to position the workpiece. The headers have adjustable heights along their lengths in order to accommodate the shape of the workpiece.

La présente invention se rapporte à un système de fabrication comprenant un appareil de positionnement configurable et un système d'usinage destiné à traiter une pièce de fabrication maintenue par l'appareil de positionnement. L'appareil de positionnement présente différentes configurations pour maintenir différents types de pièces de fabrication, telles que des panneaux, des fuselages, des revêtements de structure aérodynamique, et des carters de moteur. L'appareil de positionnement comprend un premier rail de support et un second rail de support espacé du premier rail de support. Les premier et second rails de support soutiennent une pluralité d'embases empilables qui coopèrent pour positionner la pièce de fabrication. Les embases ont des hauteurs réglables sur leurs longueurs afin de s'adapter à la forme de la pièce de fabrication.
