Tooling and method for manufacturing apertured elements such as thrust reverser cascades for an aircraft nacelle

Tooling for manufacturing an air deflection cascade for a thrust reverser system of an aircraft nacelle, the cascade comprising a plurality of spars extending along a longitudinal direction, each spar being connected to at least one adjacent spar by a plurality of deflection vanes, the tooling comprising:

• at least one molding bar, extending along a longitudinal direction of the tooling;
• at least one molding column for molding a row of vanes, the at least one molding column comprising two opposite lateral faces extending along the longitudinal direction of the tooling and molding cavities, each cavity opening onto each of the two lateral faces of the molding column and forming a cavity for molding a vane;
• a fixed structure on which the molding bar and the molding column are mounted, the fixed structure allowing a translational movement, along a transverse direction of the tooling, of the molding bar;
• and
• at least one compression device for providing a displacement of the molding bar towards the molding column and the compression of elements made of a composite material arranged in the tooling and intended to form at least one part of the air deflection cascade.
