It's not just the assistants and staff of Schumann and others who feel like this, but they themselves also feel that the color steel partition twice is like two eras.

If everything behind them represents the industrial history of 30 years ago, then the scene in front of them can undoubtedly announce the future of industrial manufacturing to the world.

There are less than 10 people in the huge production area, but even so, these people are not directly involved in production and processing, but more maintenance personnel who are responsible for monitoring the operation of equipment, adjusting procedures, and dealing with faults.

So who is responsible for the production?

Naturally, there are stout and flexible mechanical arms, automatic processing machinery, and reciprocating suspension trucks......

"This is a complete set of helicopter internal main load-bearing structure and skin punching and riveting automatic processing area, by six automatic punching robotic arms, four automatic riveting robotic arms, two automatic skin riveting machines and eight suspension vehicles, with our group developed flexible tooling equipment, can achieve about 65% of the helicopter main load-bearing structure and skin automatic drilling and riveting process. ”

Just when everyone was amazed by the production scene in front of them, Wu Ping, who had been following Zhuang Jianye, slowly spoke under Zhuang Jianye's instructions, and couldn't help but be taken aback after the translator translated the words into words that Schumann and others could understand.

It is important to know that helicopters are different from other aircraft, due to their special flight mode, resulting in their complex structure and high-end materials, because of this, in general, the degree of automation of helicopter drilling and riveting is generally very low.

In particular, riveting can only be done manually by workers in many places.

It's not that I don't want to use automated equipment to complete, but because of some titanium alloy structural parts of different thicknesses of helicopters, as well as honeycomb structures, carbon fiber and other composite materials combined with other materials in the riveting process, the properties of different materials are different, and the forces are different, resulting in the application of automatic riveting equipment with a single program.

Coupled with the lack of professional flexible tooling equipment, not to mention the general aircraft production plant, even helicopter giants such as Bell and Sikorsky in the United States will have a penetration rate of 50% in the automation of drilling and riveting processes, and the remaining half will have to be manual.

However, the drilling and riveting process in the helicopter assembly workshop in Xiangzhou has achieved a 65% automation rate.

Seriously, if you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, one of the foreigners present would never have believed that this data was true.

Especially Schumann, as an expert specializing in helicopter maintenance, helicopter manufacturers all over the world have not said that they have seen all of them, but eighty percent have been carefully seen, especially the Soviet Union and the United States helicopter manufacturing enterprises, Schumann has made great efforts to study, but none of them can have such a high level of automation rate as Xiangzhou Helicopter Assembly Plant in terms of drilling and riveting process.

Suddenly doubts arose: How could China, which is generally backward in the field of aircraft and ship production, surpass the Soviet Union and the United States?

Others can be said to be dead ducks with hard mouths, but Schumann is an expert in this area, because others don't know, but he knows that the drilling and riveting process in helicopter production is not easy, relatively speaking, drilling is not bad, EDM, water cutting, laser, electron beam...... As long as you put the effort into it, there is always a way to do it.

But riveting is not good, to put it mildly, this process is to use brute force to flatten the rivets to make them fix the plate and components.

Of course, this process is also very particular, after all, the force used in riveting different materials is different, otherwise the rivet is hammered down, and the surrounding plates are cracked in vain?

So what rivets are used for different materials, what force is used, where is the force point, and how to control it...... are all knowledge, and senior skilled workers who have not been in this type of work for more than ten years can't play this line at all.

Since it is an experienced process, it is easy to imagine how difficult it is to engage in automation.

This is like a top chef, with the same ingredients, the chef's dishes are delicious, because his experience is there, how much to put in oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, how to put it, and when to put it, can only be understood and cannot be spoken.

This is also why the same dish cannot be made by one person, and it is even more difficult to popularize mass production.

The same is true for drilling and riveting helicopters, and in some ways it is several times more difficult than cooking for a chef.

If this were any other place, with the urine of Schumann's purebred Germanic people, he would have opened his mouth long ago and directly pointed out the inoperability of it, the problem is that at this moment he is in the Xiangzhou factory under the Tengfei Group, and Zhuang Jianye, who he wants to stutter, stood not far away and quietly watched their various surprises and surprises, and seemed to be enjoying it.

Schumann is upright, loyal, and has to throw all this into the garbage heap here in Zhuang Jianye, so Schumann wisely did not speak, but squinted his eyes and carefully observed the details.

That attitude is obvious, I can say nothing, but I must be clear-minded, otherwise Tengfei Group will use this set to deceive them Leipzig Company in the future, and I know the details inside, right?

With this in mind, Schumann looked much more serious, a few robotic arms responsible for automatic drilling are not a big deal, and they also have them in the maintenance plant of the Leipzig company, and there are even two of them that are the same as those in front of him, both of which are produced by German companies.

The flexible tooling equipment is good, Germany is weaker in this regard, and the United States is expensive, so it is impossible to import some from Tengfei Group.

Just like that, while watching, while commenting, soon Schumann came to the riveting processing area, the two robotic arms introduced into the eye are still the same in their maintenance shop, seeing this Schumann is a little interested, the core of the robotic arms are introduced from Germany, it seems that the so-called automatic riveting is nothing more than that.

Thinking in his heart, Schumann was about to go around and see what the situation was with the two riveting machines behind, but at this moment, the two mechanical arms that he labeled as nothing more than this quickly rotated, and straightened both sides of the plate that had just been put down and fixed from the crane truck, and then "Sudden ~ Sudden ~ Sudden ~" sounded.

Hearing this voice, Schumann who was about to leave suddenly stopped, and then the sound of "suddenly~~~~suddenly~~" became clearer, Schumann's eyebrows jumped suddenly, and he immediately turned his head to look at the two running robotic arms, only to find that the top of the two robotic arms that were doing riveting technology seemed to be different from the riveting tools he knew.

The sound is very small, the speed is very fast, and the molding rate is very high, especially the unique cable and capacitor structure, after only a few glances, Schumann's eyes began to widen uncontrollably as if he had seen a natural mortal, and then stretched out his finger and pointed to the running mechanical arm, his mouth trembled and shouted: "This ...... This...... This...... This is only used by fighters and bombers...... ...... used Stress wave riveting!"
