Chapter 539: Fully automatic carbon fiber laying machine

Is the automatic wire-laying machine installed?
Zhong Bing asked the staff.

It’s already installed,
said the staff from the Red Letter Group. They started a week ago to order a mechanical device called a carbon fiber composite automatic wire laying machine, which is a key device for the synthesis of large-area carbon fiber composites.

Automatic wire-drawing machine! I have long wanted to see it!
Gao Wei said with amazement.
It’s really awkward. We have been using the method of manual and semi-machined silking. The carbon fiber composite can’t be synthesized in a large area. Can be used in these small areas of the beam wing."
Lu Zixin and others also arrived, and a group of people went to the machine room to prepare for the new carbon fiber composite synthesis technology and automatic wire laying machine of Hongxin Group.
When they arrived at the machine room, they saw that there was an assembly line of production equipment. From the "wire" of new carbon fiber composites, the silking, construction, etc., are completely machine operated.
When Anderson saw the machine, he was shocked. The several links of this machine are similar to the core technology machines of their company. This means that Red Letter is likely to have mastered this technology!
"Mr. Anderson, what do you think of it?" Lu Zixin asked with a smile.

It looks great, I want to know how it works?
Anderson said,
The bulky carbon fiber composite layup is not as simple as it might seem.

"Yeah, so we also made a lot of effort to make it." Lu Zixin said.

Did the Red Letter Group have been studying this material for a long time?
Anderson’s heart was puzzled.

Can you start?
Peng Zhengge is looking forward to this, and he hopes to see surprises.
The robot Zhang Ming nodded and said: "The raw materials are all right, but we need the detailed data of your aircraft carbon fiber composite layup, and input it into the fully automatic wire laying machine, in order to proceed to the next step."
"I will arrange this!" Gao Wei can start working, let people transfer data and input it into the machine.
"Mr. Zhang, I am very curious, how much can this machine make a large-volume carbon fiber composite laminate?" Anderson took the opportunity to inquire about the other party's information.
Zhang Ming said: "As long as the raw materials are enough, how big is it!"
"This is impossible!" Anderson shook his head again and again, "Mr. Zhang is not kidding. I know this aspect very well. As far as I know, Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Co., Ltd. now manually adds semi-mechanical carbon fiber composite layup technology. Can complete a small volume like the aircraft beam wing."
"If it's a wing, the carbon fiber composite layer of the fuselage needs us to provide it from Honeywell International. Even if we don't dare to say infinite volume."

High-performance, complex-surface carbon fiber composites cannot be flawed in the manufacturing process. The aircraft is a rigorous whole. From material to system, if there is a problem on one hand, it will affect the overall performance.

Zhang Ming’s expression was dull and said:
I certainly know that any shape or weight change of a tiny component will affect the torque balance and multiple parameters of the entire aircraft. All counterweights may need to be overturned!


Using carbon fiber composites, the most important thing is to make the aircraft lighter, which is where it is better than titanium in some parts.


So in addition to designing a carbon fiber composite with better performance, we have adopted the most advanced intelligent algorithms in the setting of the laying machine. Every surface, every small detail is perfect. Plus Precision machine technology is sufficient to complete large volume carbon fiber composite layups."

Today we can start making composite laminates for the wings!

"Start the wing directly!" Don't say Anderson, even the researchers at the Institute of Aeronautical Materials are shocked.
If you want to make a large-volume layer of carbon fiber composite material for the wing, they have to do a lot of work over and over again, for a few months. If there is a problem with the material or the manufacturing is flawed, it will take another few months!
The team and equipment of the Red Letter Group are still less than 24 hours away, and it is too exaggerated to start making the composite laminate of the wing! If they are based on their production efficiency, can they produce aircraft in a factory assembly line?
This is not a private small plane, but a commercial big plane! Technical difficulty, work complexity is not a concept at all!
"If you can directly fabricate the composite laminate of the wing today, Mr. Peng, you can permanently remove the carbon fiber composite material from our company's material purchase order!" Anderson feels that the other party is too arrogant!
During the negotiation and display process, he has been putting pressure on him. He also has to show the confidence and strength of Honeywell International as an international aviation materials giant technology company!
"Let's wait and see!" Zhang Ming finished, began to work.
Machines and technology are better, and strict debugging and calculation arrangements are also required.
Peng Zhengge, Gao Wei and others are waiting. If they can get out of this step, they will be of great significance to them. At present, Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd. plans to achieve 50% of the domestic materials and parts of their commercial large aircraft. The proportion of carbon fiber composites in new large aircraft is as high as 20%!
This will be an important step for them to get rid of their dependence on other countries' aviation technology companies!
Anderson Vogels is also waiting. After more than an hour, the team of Red Letter has adjusted the machine and data and is ready to start production.
In the production workshop, a group of technicians are onlookers.
"Start!" Zhang Ming ordered, the machine started. On the display of the machine, a three-dimensional projection is projected, which is the appearance of the simulated finished product. This part of the carbon fiber composite layer will perfectly cover the wing, instead of titanium alloy and aluminum alloy, the performance is stronger and the weight of the aircraft is reduced.
Through projection, they can clearly see the manufacturing process of each part, and make timely changes to the error.
Everyone is holding their breath and staring at every step of the machine. The first is the synthesis of a new type of carbon fiber composite that is machine-made into a filament and then woven into a thin layer like a woven fabric!
This is completely different from the simple process of making clothes. This silk is nano-scale, and the ten layers of carbon fiber composite material are layered, which may not necessarily have a flap of nano-thickness!
And what they have to do is to lay hundreds of layers over and over again! Also take into account the surface and weight ratio of the wing, and do not allow any errors beyond the error range, otherwise you will lose all your efforts!
