A flay assembly (102) for separating a workpiece (400) from a manufacturing fixture (500) has a horizontal beam assembly (108) and a pair of vertical beam assemblies (150). The horizontal beam assembly includes a horizontal beam (110) having a horizontal drive motor (136). Each vertical beam assembly includes a vertical beam (152) operably engaged to the horizontal drive motor and has a workpiece attachment assembly (200) operably engaged to a vertical drive motor (170). The workpiece attachment assembly has an attachment mechanism (202) attachable to the workpiece. The horizontal drive motor and the vertical drive motors are operable in a manner to move the vertical beams away from each other along a horizontal drive axis (134) while simultaneously moving each workpiece attachment assembly along a vertical drive axis (168) to cause the attachment mechanisms to pull the workpiece side portions away from the manufacturing fixture while a center support (114) of the horizontal beam maintains a workpiece crown (416) in contact with the manufacturing fixture.
