Methods and apparatus for manufacturing operations are disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus for supporting a tool relative to a surface of a workpiece includes a base adapted to be attached to the workpiece, a tool support coupled to the base, and a biasing device coupled to both the base and the tool support. The tool support is moveable relative to the base along a translation axis, and the biasing device is biasable along a biasing axis that is at least partially along the translation axis. The biasing device is adapted to at least partially counterbalance a force (e.g. a gravitational force) exerted on the tool support along the translation axis.

L'invention concerne des procédés et un appareil conçus pour des opérations de fabrication. Dans un mode de réalisation, l'appareil supportant un outil par rapport à une surface d'une pièce à travailler comporte une base destinée à se fixer à ladite pièce à travailler, un support d'outil couplé à la base, et un dispositif de sollicitation couplé à la base et au support d'outil. Ce dernier peut se déplacer par rapport à la base suivant un axe de translation, et le dispositif de sollicitation peut être sollicité suivant un axe de sollicitation situé au moins partiellement le long de l'axe de translation. Ledit dispositif de sollicitation est conçu pour contrebalancer au moins partiellement une force (par exemple une force de gravitation) s'exerçant sur le support d'outil le long de l'axe de translation.
