A manufacturing cell (1) having a plurality of work stations, where at least one of the work station comprises a metalworking machine (2) having a modular tooling apparatus (10) comprising a base (20) having one or more attachment surfaces (30,40), and one or more inserts (50,60) that can be inserted semi-permanently to the attachment surfaces. The attachment surface is typically a pocket in the surface of the base. The base, pockets and inserts are configured to provide a characteristic location and orientation for the workpiece relative to the base, and to the metalworking machine. The modular tooling apparatus permits machining a family of workpiece members (198,298). The invention also provides a process for performing a plurality of metalworking operations on workpieces, employing the manufacturing cell (1) described hereinabove.

Une cellule de fabrication (1) munie de plusieurs postes de travail, dans laquelle au moins un poste de travail est équipé d'une machine d'usinage du métal (2) ayant un outillage modulaire (10), lui-même composé d'une base (20) munie de plusieurs surfaces de fixation des accessoires (30, 40) et d'un ou plusieurs inserts (50, 60) pouvant être insérés de manière semi-permanente sur les surfaces de fixation. La surface de fixation est généralement une poche sur la surface de la base. La base, les poches et les inserts sont configurés de manière à fournir un emplacement et une orientation caractéristiques pour la pièce à usiner par rapport à la base et par rapport à la machine à usiner le métal. L'outillage modulaire permet d'usiner toute une gamme de pièces (198, 298). L'invention fournit également un processus à suivre pour exécuter plusieurs opérations d'usinage du métal sur les pièces, au moyen de la cellule de fabrication (1) décrite ci-dessus.
