Zusammenfassung:A system for forming components to have a predetermined contour includes a manipulator having four manipulating heads 44, 52, 56, 58 which engage longitudinally spaced portions of the component. The system uses the manipulator to determine the initial contour of an increment of the length of the component, compares the measured contour with the required contour to determine the contour or shape error and then controls the manipulator to apply one or more permenent set deflecitons in accordance with the required contour. The manipulator is then advanced relative to the component and further measuring and deflections steps are performed until the component has the required contour.
