CA 2657372

According to the invention, a shell handling carriage (19) is provided with grippers (194) which grip the end edges of a shell (2) made of composite material still fixed to a molding drum (11). An expeller strut (13) prevents the drum (11) from moving while the carriage (19) translating 5 removes the shell (2) from the drum (11). The shell (2) is then transported by the carriage (19) to a working station in which robots rivet the transversal ribs on it. The transversal ribs reach the robot working position orderly arranged on a self-moving rib store, which is inserted in the shell (2) itself.

L'invention concerne un chariot (19) de manutention de coquilles, ledit chariot (19) étant muni d'organes de préhension (194) qui saisissent les bords d'extrémité d'une coquille (2) réalisée en une matière composite encore fixée sur un cylindre de moulage (11). Une barre d'éjection (13) empêche le cylindre (11) de bouger lorsque le chariot (19) en cours de translation retire la coquille (2) du cylindre (11). La coquille (2) est alors transportée par le chariot (19) jusqu'à un poste de travail où des robots rivent les nervures transversales sur celle-ci. Les nervures transversales atteignent la position de travail du robot arrangées de manière systématique sur un magasin motorisé de nervures, à des fins d'insertion dans la coquille (2) elle-même.
