Method for machining composite metal panel of e.g. aircraft, involves rigidifying inner volume delimited by envelope to provide rigid support compared to face of metal panel, and machining metal panel from another face of metal panel

摘要

The method involves providing a bearing support (28) having a deformable envelope (32) delimiting an inner volume (34), and performing a reversible immobilization of a part i.e. composite metal panel (10) to be machined on the envelope by depressurization of a space (68) between the composite metal panel and a wall (50) of the envelope. The inner volume delimited by the envelope is rigidified to provide a rigid support compared to a face (18) of the composite metal panel, and the composite metal panel is machined from another face (20) that is located opposite the former face. An independent claim is also included for a device for machining a part i.e. composite metal panel of a platform.
