An improved fixture and method for assembling a structure, wherein the improved fixture (14) comprises a frame (20) and a pair of position compliance devices (21) The compliance devices are attached to a selected one of the ends of the fixture frame for engagement with the arms of a selected one of a headstock (10) and a tailstock (11) used to rotate the fixture and structure to be assembled. The compliance devices each comprise a slidable block (26) having a locating pin (28) rotatably mounted therein, which enables the fixture to be accurately and removably positioned between a headstock and a tailstock, serving to reduce unwanted stress on the fixture and the structure to be assembled during rotation. Removability of the fixture and structure to be assembled facilitates convenient loading/unloading of the structure and 360 degree access to the structure and fixture by an operator.

L'invention concerne une fixation améliorée et un procédé d'assemblage d'une structure. Ladite fixation améliorée (14) comprend un cadre (20) et une paire de dispositifs de conformité de positions (21). Ces dispositifs de conformité sont attachés à une extrémité sélectionnée parmi des extrémités du cadre de fixation de manière à rentrer en contact avec les bras d'une poupée fixe (10) ou d'une contre-poupée (11) utilisée pour faire tourner la fixation et la structure à assembler. Lesdits dispositifs de conformité comprennent respectivement un bloc coulissant (26) pourvu d'une broche de localisation (28) montée rotative, qui permet à la fixation d'être positionnée avec précision et de manière amovible entre une poupée fixe et une contre-poupée, ce qui sert à diminuer une contrainte non voulue sur la fixation et la structure à assembler, pendant la rotation. L'amovibilité de la fixation et de la structure à assembler facilite le chargement/déchargement appropriés de la structure et un accès à 360 degrés à la structure et la fixation effectué par un opérateur.
