Abstract (en)

A tooling assembly is provided, for use with a panel defining a tool-side surface and the tool-side surface defining a profile. The tooling assembly includes a base (20), a plurality of support members (28) fixedly attached to the base (20), a plurality of frames (22) each defining a corresponding upper surface (34). Each of the support members (28) is releasably coupled to a corresponding one of the frames (22) by a fastening system (78). The plurality of frames (22) are configured to releasably couple to the panel (24), and the upper surfaces (34) of the frames (22) are each shaped to correspond with a portion of the profile of the tool-side surface (32) of the panel (24). A securing system (38) is configured to provide a suction force that releasably secures the panel (24) against the upper surface (34) of the frames (22). The base (20) includes a pair of bars (72) and a plurality of bars (74) mounted along the pair of bars (72), wherein the frames (22) slide on bars (72).
