Abstract
To reduce the time and cost of manufacture of an aircraft fuselage, a tool for positioning mounting clamps to attach a fuselage frame element onto a fuselage skin and/or onto stiffeners is provided. Accordingly, the tool includes a ramp and several systems for holding clamps in position distributed along the ramp, where each system includes a mobile device for applying pressure to the clamp, together with an adjustment device coupled to the mobile device such that its separation from the ramp is adjustable.
