CA 2464730

A production system for manufacturing a workpiece comprises an index system including a plurality of index devices removably mounted on the workpiece at known longitudinally spaced locations therealong, and a longitudinally extending index member releasably engaged with at least two of the index devices such that a position and orientation of the index are fixed relative to the workpiece by the index devices, the index member having position- indicating features distributed therealong. The production system further comprises a machine module mounted for longitudinal movement along the index member and operable to perform an operation, the machine module being operable to detect the position-indicating features on the index member and thereby determine a position of the machine module relative to the workpiece.

L'invention concerne un système de production servant à fabriquer une pièce, pourvu d'un système d'indexage comprenant une pluralité de dispositifs d'indexage montés de manière amovible sur la pièce au niveau d'emplacements connus espacés d'un point de vue longitudinal, et un élément d'indexage s'étendant longitudinalement et en contact amovible avec au moins deux des dispositifs d'indexage de manière qu'une position et une orientation de l'index soient fixées par rapport à la pièce par les dispositifs d'indexage, l'élément d'indexage comprenant plusieurs éléments indicateurs de position sur sa longueur. Le système de production comprend également un module machine monté de manière à effectuer un mouvement longitudinal le long de l'élément d'indexage, et destiné à exécuter une opération, ledit module machine étant destiné à détecter les éléments indicateurs de position de l'élément d'indexage et à déterminer ainsi une position du module machine par rapport à la pièce.
