The head of the headquarters knows that Ascendas Group has a pulsating production line for aircraft. In recent years, the domestic military and civil aviation have ordered two to three hundred Y-6 Plateau Eagle series and TM-9 aircraft, which can be quickly produced and delivered. The pulsating production line is indispensable. without.
Precisely because of this, the pulsating production line in the aircraft assembly plant of Ascendas Group has caused quite a stir in the aviation industry, and two opinions, support and opposition, were quickly formed.
Supporters of it go without saying that they feel that this pulsating production line improves production efficiency and speeds up the production pace. In a sense, it can reduce product costs and represents the future development direction of aviation product assembly.
The reasons for the opponents cannot be said to be insufficient, that is, the cost of the entire production line is too high, and special tools such as control computers, advanced transmission systems, special vehicles, hydraulic lifts, and other key assembly need to be imported from abroad. Imports, plus other miscellaneous expenses, the entire production line is enough to build three or four aircraft assembly plants of the same size.
What¡¯s more, Ascendas Group¡¯s aircraft pulsating production line is based on a self-developed high-precision laser positioning measurement system and a semi-automatic flexible tooling processing system.
These two systems have to be said to be disruptive technological innovations for aircraft assembly, but the problem is that these two systems are too advanced and immature in many places, resulting in a high failure rate.
During the production of the Yun-6 Plateau Eagle series and TM-9 aircraft, the aircraft assembly plant of Ascendas Group had to suspend production several times for maintenance due to failures in these two systems.
Factories, especially aviation manufacturing plants, are not just big beds and small quilts for ordinary people. You can do whatever you want. Stopping production for maintenance is easy to say, but behind it is a staggering amount of losses. It is not just stones that float away, it is real. Small change.
Even if other aviation manufacturers knew that Tengfei Group's pulsating production line was a good thing, they were deterred when they learned that the failure rate was relatively high, because no one wanted to be in the middle of smooth production. Suddenly, the equipment broke down and all processes had to be stopped. Stop and wait for processing.
This disrupts not only the general process flow, but also the confidence and capabilities of the entire enterprise.
In addition, Ascendas Group is only a manufacturer of small aircraft of less than 5 tons, which makes people feel that the pulsating production line is limited to small aircraft. Large aircraft are more complex, and similar optimization and upgrades may not be effective.
So, the pulsating production line in Ascendas Group¡¯s aircraft assembly plant only caused a slight splash, and soon became as calm as water again.
When the head of the headquarters was just transferred to the headquarters, he learned about this peculiar production method. It has to be said that it is indeed very efficient in terms of efficiency, but its maturity still needs to be improved. Comments given after the production line.
I thought that Ascendas Group would continue research along the aircraft pulsating production line and improve its maturity. Unexpectedly, they actually started a new pulsating production line for turbofan engines.
?Aerospace engines can actually be assembled using the same method used to assemble airplanes?
The head of the headquarters was full of doubts after hearing Zhuang Jianye's words. You must know that the failure rate of the aircraft's pulsating production line is not low. If that set is taken to the turbofan engine, the losses will be much greater than the aircraft production line.
You must know that the parts on the aircraft engine are all precision parts. If they are bumped, they will be scrapped directly. Unlike an airplane, the skin is very solid in some places. Even if it is broken, it can be used with another piece of skin.
So he looked at Zhuang Jianye with some worry. Zhuang Jianye didn't understand what the head of the headquarters was thinking. He pointed to the production in front and said: "Don't worry, chief, our high-precision laser measurement system and flexible tooling system have developed to the second generation. The failure rate is It has been compressed to 6%. Although it is still high, it is within the acceptable range."
Zhuang Jianye is right. Compared with the 16.5% failure rate of the first-generation high-precision laser measurement system and flexible tooling system in the No. 2 aircraft assembly workshop of Ascendas Group, 6% is indeed a lot higher.
It could have been improved even more, but unfortunately some precision components that need to be imported cannot be obtained due to various reasons, so alternative solutions can only be used to make up for it. As a result, the control range of the failure rate does not reach the theoretical target of less than 2%.
However, thanks to the high-precision laser measurement system and flexible tooling system, the basic design is independently developed by Ascendas Group and has extremely high elasticity and redundancy. This gives room for alternative solutions. Otherwise, it would not be possible to come up with the second solution. Whether the second-generation high-precision laser measurement system and flexible tooling system can maintain the first-generation pulsating production line is a question.
This is the benefit of mastering core technology.
So the 6% failure rate is higher than that of an average aviation aircraft manufacturer.??It is a few percentage points higher, but if you include the annual production of 400 units, it will be possible to complete the army's order of 600 units in about one and a half years. This failure rate is still affordable.
The head of the headquarters did not speak, just nodded, but the worry in his eyes was significantly reduced. He looked at the leaders and chiefs who were watching the assembly of the turbofan engine like curious babies, with a knowing smile on his lips. Then he raised his chin forward and spoke slowly: "There are a few people in front of me who have been military representatives in the aircraft engine factory in the early years. They are very familiar with aircraft engines. Judging from their appearance, you have a pulsating aircraft engine production line. It was an eye-opener for them.¡±
After saying that, he turned his head and suddenly changed the topic: "By the way, how is the processing technology of the fuel tank of a new missile going?"
Zhuang Jianye's thinking was still stuck in the context of the previous words of the head of the headquarters, with a naive and smug smile, but he couldn't think of turning to other aspects the next moment. His head didn't turn around for a moment, and he was stunned for a moment, and then he realized Except for the two commanders of the Second Artillery Corps, there was no one around the head of the headquarters. Then he said with a solemn expression: "We are still stepping up our efforts. If nothing unexpected happens, there will be preliminary results next year."
"You are still very good at the research and development and application of new processes, and your advantages in this area must be maintained."
The head of the headquarters nodded slightly. The head of the headquarters, as the person in charge, is actually more concerned about the situation of a certain new missile than anyone else. The progress of each subsystem must be reported to him every week.
The task of manufacturing fuel storage tanks undertaken by Ascendas Group is also the same. However, compared with traditional fuel storage tanks, a new type of missile has higher requirements. Therefore, during the first phase of system experiments, the fuel storage tanks processed using traditional methods did not pass The review by the project chief engineer was sent back for reprocessing.
There is no way, Tengfei Group can only focus on finding new breakthroughs in technology and manufacturing methods. At this moment, the core of the aerospace special equipment R&D team such as Peng Chuan, Zhou Lei, Liang Mu, Wei Guangping, Xie Dong, etc. are all concentrated on Zero Degree Factory is conducting concentrated research on relevant aspects and has made good progress.
Although the head of the headquarters is aware of the progress, he still wants to hear a responsible statement from the person in charge of the specific tasks. There is no way. Although the head of the headquarters is calm every day, in fact, he is better than anyone else in terms of a certain new missile. Be nervous.
After hearing the good news, the head of the headquarters' smile became slightly more relaxed, and he raised his chin again towards the production line in front of him, and once again asked a very sensitive question: "This is your way to open up the international aviation market. code?"
"Chief, are you laughing at me?" Zhuang Jianye asked back. The head of the headquarters was stunned for a moment and turned his head to look at Zhuang Jianye. Zhuang Jianye smiled and said, "You can't kill a chicken with a bull's knife!"
Hearing this, the head of the headquarters blinked his eyes and immediately laughed.
