ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to an automatically reconfigurable contour checking fixture for comparing a component to a programmed contour. The fixture comprises a horizontal support table, having a length and width, wherein a drive rack runs along its length. The fixture also includes a plurality of stations positioned at intervals along the length of the support table, each of the stations including an artificial template member, and a multi-service drive assembly which drives the artificial template member of each of the plurality of stations to a respective designated point along the programmed contour. A computer is in communication with the multi-service drive assembly, communicating positional instructions such that the artificial template member of each of the plurality of stations conforms to the programmed contour.
