ABSTRACT:
A reconfiguration table, for holding and supporting a contoured workpiece while work is performed thereon comprising a frame defining a perimeter and a plane; a plurality of support elements disposed in spaced array within the frame perimeter, each element having an end and being independently translatable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the plane, the ends of the elements cooperating to define a support surface for the workpiece; clamp members, supported by the frame, for selectively locking the elements in position to define the support surface; attaching members, supported by the frame independently of the support elements, for holding the workpiece on the support surface; and a gear reducer and motor for rotating the frame with the workpiece supported thereon about an axis parallel to the plane of the frame.
