REWORK PRESS ASSEMBLY FOR COMPONENT REWORK SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USING THE SAME

摘要

To provide a rework press assembly for a component rework system and a method for using the same.SOLUTION: A rework press assembly for reworking a dimensionally non-conformant component is provided. The rework press assembly includes a frame, a die coupled to the frame and configured to contact a first portion of the component, and a ram. The ram is coupled to the frame opposite the die with respect to an axis of the rework press assembly and is configured to contact a second portion of the component. The ram and the die define a component cavity therebetween. At least one of the die and the ram has a first length, relative to the axis, in response to the rework press assembly being in a first thermal condition. The at least one of the die and the ram has a second length, relative to the axis, in response to the rework press assembly being at a second thermal condition. The second length is greater than the first length.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
