1. An automated assembly system for two or more rotary components of a gas turbine engine, comprising:
a stacking station at which the two or more rotary components are stacked along a stacking axis;
a press system selectably movable between a retracted position spaced apart from the stacking axis and a press position at the stacking axis, the press system configured to exert a downward force on the two or more rotary components at the stacking station to engage a first rotary component of the two or more rotary components to a second rotary component of the two or more rotary components; and
a robot configured to sequentially stack the two or more rotary components along the stacking axis.
