Abstract

In a method for assembling a plurality of component individual parts in stages to form a complex composite component, in order to achieve as high an accuracy as possible of the finished component, the individual parts are positioned relative to one another and fixed during the staged assembly process, such that there may be no need for any reclamping of the intermediate component between the individual assembly stages. For this purpose, a clamping frame is used, which is first equipped with some clamping elements, into which is introduced a first set of component individual elements which are assembled together with one another to form an intermediate component. In the second step, the clamping frame is equipped with further clamping elements, into which the component individual elements corresponding to them are introduced, and, in a further assembly step, these further component individual elements are assembled together with the intermediate component to form the finished component. For receiving and fixing the further clamping elements on the clamping frame, docking stations are provided, which may ensure a reproducible positioning and orientation of the clamping elements on the clamping frame.
