ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for repairing a turbine engine vane segment of at least one airfoil disposed between band or platform members originally assembled in a designed relationship uses locating features integral with at least the band members and used in original assembly. For repair, the members are separated and at least one member is selected for reassembly, while preserving substantially in original form locating features of the selected member. A replacement member is provided for reassembly with the selected member, and the members are reassembled using the preserved locating features for positioning the members in the designed relationship. The apparatus provides elements for moving the segment members into and holding in the designed relationship.
