Abstract

A method for joining parts to be joined which are subject to tolerance in the aerospace sector. The method involves determining the geometric data of a first and second part to be joined, determining the joining gap dimensions of the first and second parts from the determined geometric data and arranging a plurality of shape elements which can be connected together in planar manner in a first region of a surface of the first part. The method moreover comprises application of a first adhesive layer onto the plurality of shape elements and in a second region of the surface of the first part. The method finally involves joining the first and second parts, the first adhesive layer being brought into contact with the surface of the second part. A corresponding apparatus is provided for joining parts which are subject to tolerance in the aerospace sector.
