RE-CONFIGURABLE TOOLING SYSTEM FOR SUPPORTING AND POSITIONING A BODY TO BE MACHINED AND RELATED METHOD FOR CONFIGURING SAID TOOLING SYSTEM

摘要

The present invention relates to a re-configurable type tooling system (1) for supporting and positioning a body to be machined, said tooling system (1) comprising: a reference plane (2); a plurality of re-configurable elements (10), in particular of the column type, comprising a first portion (11) suitable for positioning the re-configurable element (10) on the reference plane (2) and fitted with magnetic stopping means, and a second portion (12) which is movable perpendicularly to said reference plane (2) and to said first portion (11); moving means (20) for moving said re-configurable elements (10) relative to the reference plane (2). The invention is characterized in that said moving means comprise a sliding system (20) located under said reference plane (2), said sliding system (20) comprising at least one magnetic element (21) adapted to interact with said magnetic stopping means of said first portion (11) in order to move said re-configurable elements (10) on the reference plane (2).
