Facility and method for pairing a shield to a preform for the production of an aircraft turbine engine vane

Abstract

A facility for pairing a metal shield to a leading edge of a preform made of composite material for the production of an aircraft turbine engine blade, the facility including a support configured to receive and hold the metal shield, —a movement hexapod which carries the support and is able to move the support along and about the three axes of an XYZ coordinate system, —an automaton which includes jaws and is configured to receive and hold the preform, and —a computing unit for controlling the hexapod and the automaton with a view to producing the pairing. The invention also relates to a method for pairing the metal shield to the leading edge of the preform made of composite material for the production of the aircraft turbine engine blade.
