Abstract
A plurality of components are force-fitted into a workpiece simultaneously, by the following steps: preparing a dummy workpiece with tool supports fixed thereto in a predetermined pattern, each tool support being removably surmounted by a component insertion tool; placing the dummy workpiece beneath a magnetic chuck on the platen of a hyrdraulic press; lowering the platen so that the tools are magnetically secured to the chuck; raising the platen to remove the tools from the tool supports; replacing the dummy workpiece by an actual workpiece with the components arranged thereon in said predetermined pattern; lowering the platen so that each tool on the chuck force-fits the component therebeneath into the workpiece; raising the platen with the tools thereon; and removing the actual workpiece from the press.
