The system has special application in the manufacture of aircraft wing covers (made of carbon fiber and the stringers () cured jointly with the wing cover during the polymerization in autoclave. The tool pieces () being used are defined by angular elements () copying the geometry of the stringers (). The shape of these stringers corresponds to the 'T' section. The angular elements () comprise, in their upper part, a pair of battlements () in order to be caught by part of the clamps () of a head () linked to a robot () of the spherical type with articulated arm with six axes. The angular elements () are made of INVAR material and they are used to keep in position the stringers during the curing cycle in the autoclave.

The invention relates to a process for making swaged lighting holes () in planar areas of parts () made of preimpregnated composite, by means of which the part () is arranged between a female tooling () with the final shape of the bottom side of the swaged part and a caul plate () with the final shape of the top side of the swaged part, except in an area () which must be swaged, pressure Pis applied on the caul plate () in the area of the part () that must be maintained substantially planar, and pressure Pis applied by means of a male tooling () on the area () of the part () which must be swaged at a forward speed allowing the flow of the resin during the slippage of the fibers of the material so that it may deform, adapting to the final shape of the female tooling ().
