Assembly method for variable vanes

摘要

A method and fixture assembly (40) for assisting in the matching and assembly of components of a variable stator vane assembly (10) of a gas turbine engine. The method generally entails a stator vane (12) configured to be assembled to a casing (22) with a spacer which engages a vane seat (28). The spacer having the most suitable dimensions is selected based on the position of the vane seat (28) detected by probes (48) in the fixture assembly (40). <IMAGE>
