Abstract:
1. A method of assembling a composite structure using at least one table module forming a structure assembly table, said at least one table module having at least one first device adapted to index, lift, rotate and set at least one composite structure subassembly; at least one second device, each of said at least one second device adapted to simultaneously lift and position at least two composite structure subassemblies relative to each other; and at least one third device adapted to compact at least two composite structure subassemblies into a composite structure, the method comprising: receiving and positioning said at least two composite structure subassemblies on the structure assembly table by operation of said at least one first device and said at least one second device; providing at least one positioning assembly in said at least one table module and adapted to lift and move said at least two composite structure subassemblies on said at least one table module; and compacting said at least two composite structure subassemblies into a composite structure by operation of said third device.
