Abstract
An aircraft engine module handling assembly including a carriage, a pivoting portion at a top of the carriage, a module support tooling, and an additional mechanism for assembly of the tooling on the pivoting portion, such that the module can be rotated from an original vertical position, observed when it reaches an assembly shop in a crate, to a horizontal position suitable for its assembly with another module of an engine.
Claims7
An aircraft engine module handling assembly, comprising:
- a moving carriage;
- and
- tooling positioned at an end of the module, wherein the tooling includes a mount and devices for attachment to the module;
- wherein the carriage includes an upper structure set up on a support frame, and a pivot for pivoting the upper structure with respect to the support frame around a horizontal axis, and
- wherein additional devices are provided on the upper structure and the tooling for securing the tooling to the upper structure in a position in which an axis of rotation of the module intersects the horizontal axis and can be pivoted from a vertical direction to a horizontal direction.
