Chapter 1130 Assembly, something went wrong?


    Bain''s request, in addition to the objective factors that he himself is not very clear about the situation, is also a subjective consideration to avoid being pulled out to take the blame if something goes wrong.


    Although he considers himself to be a relatively simple engineer, since he managed to get into the position of production department manager, he must be wise in protecting himself.


    Otherwise, they would have been pushed out long ago.


    "no problem."


    Of course, Casore knew what the other party was thinking, but he still nodded:


    "Just gather everyone together."


    Now, there is no time to talk nonsense.


    And no matter what, the modification work of the early warning aircraft will still have to be carried out in China.


    Even if there is a problem with this process, the worst result is just to return to the original schedule and waste some man-hours.


    He can still carry it.


    Soon, a dozen production line engineers were quickly gathered in the conference room.


    At almost the same time, the secretary’s office had also prepared the required paper materials—


    Even in the 21st century, pen and paper are still better to use than screens and projectors in many cases.


    Due to the tight time schedule, the drawings brought back by Casore did not have time to be completely revised according to French customs. They only forcibly translated some necessary annotations based on the Chinese version.


    Fortunately, China''s own aviation manufacturing standards are highly compatible with Europe, so there will be no hardware troubles during the manufacturing process.


    If this was done in cooperation with Boeing, just the conversion between metric and imperial units would make people peel off a layer of skin.


    "There is an urgent order now, which requires the factory to temporarily adjust, jump in line to produce a batch of skins and trusses, and then pre-assemble..."


    As one of the main designers of the Falcon Z project, Casore is no stranger to these school leaders who are equivalent to foremen.


    So he even skipped the process of self-introduction and went directly to the drawing board with the drawings hanging on it to get to the point:


    "Time is tight, let me talk about the subsequent production and assembly process..."


    “…”


    Just the explanation of the first step of the production process took more than two hours.


    It''s not that Casore is unwilling to speed up, it''s that the plan given by Liang Shaoxiu is too detailed.


    It is no exaggeration to say that if the assembly process is not so delicate and cumbersome that current industrial robots cannot perform certain basic actions, then a considerable number of these tasks can even be completely performed without manual labor.


    Such demanding and meticulous requirements were not so easy for the production engineers present to accept—


    These people all rely on first-hand experience.


    Now that you have fixed all the areas that require free play, aren''t you using them as apprentices?


    Of course, we are all workers, and we cannot openly refute the leadership''s instructions just because of this.


    Especially "foreign" leaders like Kasore.


    But if you don''t say it openly, it doesn''t mean you don''t have thoughts in your heart.


    After the meeting, everyone returned to the production line, preparing to adjust production work according to the tasks just assigned.


    As their direct leader, Bain was still quite responsible for work matters even though he had just taken away all the responsibilities.


    Soon he and Kasore came to the workshop.


    One is to supervise work as usual.


    Secondly, I really want to see if this set of heaven-defying craftsmanship that Kasore pulled out from nowhere can work?


    However, before the two of them took a few steps, an engineer came over with production instructions:


    "Manager, supervisor."


    "Based on my experience, if the above process and parameters are followed, then during assembly, the unit 17X far away from the positioning datum is likely to be pre-connected before the unit 16X close to the positioning datum. In this way The gap between the two units prevents flow out of the interior of the unit, causing the siding to buckle…”


    "Can you please explain in detail the reasons for this arrangement?"


    The other party''s tone was very polite, and what he said was very specific, and there was no fault at all.


    But no matter how you look at it, it seems like you are taking the opportunity to make trouble.


    Casore took the instruction manual from the engineer''s hand. On the surface, he looked as calm as an old dog, but inside he was panicking.


    Because he doesn''t know either. After all, Dassault and the Aerospace Power Group are only cooperating, not merging. It would be good if someone else can fully demonstrate the new process flow. Can he still directly ask the other party what your design and process optimization methods are?


    He would have to be kicked out as a commercial spy.


    But now he has attracted a lot of attention from around him, which is equivalent to being roasted on the fire. If he doesn''t say anything, or uses force, then it may not be easy to carry out the production.


    Therefore, Kasolei had no choice but to bite the bullet, recalling some of the few words Liang Shaoxiu had revealed before he left on this trip, combined with some of his own speculations, and started to make nonsense:


    "Compared with the original model that used a higher proportion of carbon fiber, the back skin of the AWACS version is entirely made of lightweight alloy, and the material properties are easier to predict, so the initial gap between the pre-connection of each unit and the adjacent units can be calculated before assembly The influence produced, thereby constructing the pre-connection sequence model between units and the calculation model of gap flow..."


    "As for the wrinkle problem you just mentioned... On the premise of meeting the allowed pre-connection gap, a margin has been left in advance by optimizing the number, location and sequence of pre-connection points, which can maintain a relatively loose relationship between the units. status…”


    “…”


    What he said was not entirely false.


    It''s just that some of them are too big.


    It''s equivalent to "putting an elephant in the refrigerator is a three-step process: open the refrigerator door, put the elephant in, and close the refrigerator door."


    Correct, but of little practical value.


    In fact, the core of the entire pre-connection solution is the establishment and solution of the pre-connection process expression.


    Casore, however, avoids both parts entirely.


    Fortunately, the theoretical foundation of the front-line engineers was limited after all, so they were still stunned by the large paragraph above that was similar to Guankou.


    Although I instinctively felt that something was wrong, I couldn''t find any well-founded objection.


    He just frowned slightly and returned to his work.


    Kasore, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, was afraid that someone would see his guilty conscience. After wandering around for a few minutes, and after making sure that all the production teams were in working order, he made an excuse at the speed of light and left the production workshop.


    …


    It must be admitted that under Bain''s leadership, the production efficiency of the Toulouse factory is indeed considerable.


    It only took three days to produce all the components that needed to be pre-connected.


    The remaining task is to assemble according to the requirements of the process instructions.


    If nothing else happens, the first completed large component will be sent to China in about two days.


    However, just when Kasore thought he could breathe a sigh of relief...


    On the afternoon of the first day of assembly, Bain rushed into the temporary office prepared for the former like a gust of wind.


    There was no time to even knock on the door.


    "Supervisor, something went wrong on the assembly line!"


    One sentence almost made Kasore jump out of his chair.


    After a brief period of mental blankness, the first thing that came to mind was the question that the engineer asked him before:


    “Isn’t it true that the siding is wrinkled?”


    The biggest problem with pre-connection is that it affects the whole body.


    Once the wall panel buckles occur, it will directly affect the mechanical balance within the skin and girders, causing all or most of the assembled parts to be scrapped.


    "That''s not true."


    Bain shook his head:


    "Anyway... you''d better go and see for yourself."


    Casore moved quickly, and within two minutes he followed Bain to the No. 1 station in the assembly workshop.


    Then, I saw a heart-stopping scene.


    As he said before, the units maintained a relatively loose relationship.


    But the problem is, it''s too loose -


    The two sets of skins that were supposed to be spliced ??together turned out to have a gap about **** wide in the middle!


    In other words, they are not connected at all...
