Beschreibung:
A simple, fully automatic assembler associated with the on-orbit assembly of tetrahedral truss platforms erected of graphite epoxy tapered columns is described. The assembler, which can operate either as a free flyer or attached to the Orbiter, is capable of constructing a platform from a full load of truss columns and node joints in 36 hours. The geometry of this electrically-driven machine is based on a compound parallelogram system which permits backward as well as lateral translations. Concepts have been developed for half-column assembly as well as for column and node joint insertion into the platform.
