Chapter 1130 Assembly, something went wrong?

In addition to the objective factor that Bane himself was not very clear about the situation, this request was also based on the subjective consideration of avoiding being blamed if something went wrong.

Although he considered himself a relatively simple engineer, since he had managed to get the position of production department manager, he had to have some way to protect himself.

Otherwise, he would have been squeezed out long ago.

"no problem."

Of course, Cassore was aware of the other party's thoughts, but he still nodded:

"Just gather everyone together."

Now, there is no time for quibbling.

And no matter what, the modification work of the early warning aircraft must be carried out in China.

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

He can still carry it.

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

At almost the same time, the secretary's office had already prepared the required paper materials -

Even in the 21st century, pen and paper are still more useful than screens and projectors in many cases.

Due to the tight time, there was no time to revise the drawings that Casore brought back according to French customs. He just 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 problems during the manufacturing process.

If this were to happen in collaboration with Boeing, the conversion between metric and imperial units alone would be exhausting.

"There is an urgent order now, which requires the factory to make temporary adjustments and produce a batch of skins and trusses, and then pre-assemble them..."

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 skipped the process of introducing himself and went straight to the drawing board with the blueprint hanging on it to get to the point:

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

"..."

It took more than two hours just to explain the first step of the production process.

It’s not that Casore is unwilling to speed up, but the plan Liang Shaoxiu gave is too rich in details.

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

Such harsh and meticulous requirements were not easy for the production engineers present to accept.

These people make their livings from first-hand experience.

Now that you have determined all the areas where freedom of expression is required, aren't you treating them like apprentices?

Of course, we are all workers, and it is impossible for us to publicly refute the instructions of our leaders just because of this kind of thought.

Especially an "outsider" leader like Casore.

But not saying it openly doesn’t mean that you don’t have any thoughts in your mind.

After the meeting, everyone returned to their respective production lines, ready to adjust production work according to the tasks just assigned.

As their direct leader, Bain, although he had just denied all responsibility, was still quite responsible for work.

Soon he also came to the workshop with Casore.

One is to supervise the work as usual.

Secondly, I really want to see whether this incredible technology that Casore got out from somewhere 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 we follow the above process and parameters, then when assembling, it is very likely that the unit 17X far from the positioning reference will be pre-connected before the unit 16X close to the positioning reference. In this way, the gap between the two units cannot flow out of the unit, resulting in the wall panel wrinkling..."

"Could you please explain in detail the reasons for making such an arrangement?"

The other party's tone was very polite and what he said was very specific, and there was absolutely nothing to fault with.

But no matter how you look at it, it seems like they are taking advantage of the opportunity to cause trouble.

Casore took the instruction manual from the engineer. On the surface, he looked calm as an old dog, but he was actually very nervous.

Because he doesn't know either.

After all, Dassault and Aero Engines Group are just cooperating, not merging. It's good enough if others can come up with a complete new process flow. Can he just ask the other party directly what your design and process optimization methods are?

Then you will be kicked out as a commercial spy.

But right now he has attracted a lot of attention from the surroundings, which is like being roasted on the fire. If he says nothing or uses force, then the production may not be able to continue.

Therefore, Casore had no choice but to bite the bullet and recall some of the fragments Liang Shaoxiu had revealed before he left. Combining them with his own speculations, he began to make up stories:

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

"As for the wrinkle problem you just mentioned... Under the premise of meeting the permitted gap after pre-connection, we have reserved a margin in advance by optimizing the number, position and order of pre-connection points, so that the units can be kept relatively loose..."

"..."

What he said was not completely groundless.

It's just a bit too general.

It's like "Putting an elephant into the refrigerator in three steps: open the refrigerator door, put the elephant in, and close the refrigerator door."

Correct, but of little operational value.

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

But Casore completely avoids these two parts.

Fortunately, the theoretical knowledge of the front-line engineers is limited after all, and they were still stunned by the above long paragraph of content that sounded like a running comment.

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

He just frowned slightly and returned to his work.

Casore, who finally breathed a sigh of relief, was afraid that someone would notice his guilty conscience, so he walked around for a few minutes. After making sure that all production teams had entered working mode, he quickly found an excuse and left the production workshop.

……

It must be admitted that under Bain's leadership, the production efficiency of the Toulouse plant is indeed quite impressive.

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

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

If nothing goes wrong, the first completed large component can be sent to China in about two days.

However, just when Casore 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 him like a gust of wind.

I didn't even have time to knock on the door.

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

These words almost made Casore jump up from his chair.

After a brief brain blank, the first thing that came to his mind was the question that the engineer had asked him before:

"Is it true that the siding is buckling?"

The biggest problem with pre-connection is that it affects the entire system.

Once the wall panel wrinkles occur, it will directly affect the mechanical balance inside the skin and the long stringers, causing all or most of the assembled parts to be scrapped.

"That's not it."

Bain shook his head.

"Anyway...you should go and see it for yourself."

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

Then, I saw a scene that made my heart and lungs stop.

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

But the problem is that it is too loose.

The two sets of skins that should have been aligned and spliced ​​together actually had a gap of about two fingers wide in the middle!

In other words, they didn't connect at all...
