Process and device for automatically positioning two components with respect to each other with a view especially to their assembly

摘要

One 10 of the parts is held by a hand 13 suspended by means of active magnetic bearings 20, 25, 30 capable of keeping it in a set position; the positioning with respect to the other component 11 is achieved by bringing the components into mutual contact and by determining a new set position of the hand 13 as a function of the currents flowing in the coils of the electromagnets of the magnetic bearings in reaction to the components coming into mutual contact. <IMAGE>
