Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system for transferring a hole pattern from a first component to a second component configured to couple to the first component is provided including a contour plate having a drill plate with a hole pattern substantially identical to the hole pattern of the first component. The position of the drill plate is adjustable to match the hole pattern of the drill plate with the hole pattern of the first component. A slidable fixture configured to support the second component is movable to align the second component with the drill plate such that the hole pattern of the drill plate in relation to the second component matches the hole pattern of the drill plate in relation to the hole pattern of the first component. The hole pattern of the drill plate is used to create a hole pattern in the second component matching the hole pattern of the first component.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method of transferring a hole pattern from a first component to a second component which is configured to mount to the first component, comprising: aligning the hole pattern of the first component with a hole pattern of a drill plate; locking at least one bushing in place, the at least one bushing being associated with one or more holes of the hole pattern in the drill plate; aligning a second component mounted to a slidable fixture with the drill plate; and forming each of at least one hole of the hole pattern of the drill plate in the second component. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein aligning the hole pattern of the first component and the hole pattern of the drill plate includes inserting an alignment pin through each pair of aligned holes. 3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein aligning a second component with the drill plate includes aligning the second component with a primary datum defined between the hole pattern of the first component and the hole pattern of the drill plate. 4. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising locating the second component relative to the slidable fixture in a predetermined orientation. 5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein a drill complementary to the at least one bushing is used to form each of the at least one holes of the hole pattern of the first component in the second component.
