Chapter 931: The Heavy Weapon of the Country!
What shocked the design team of Ilyush Aviation Group was that Zhonghua Fokker has now fully realized digitalization and established a digital prototype platform, with a very high degree of integration between virtual manufacturing and real production. (6) Eight (6) Eight (6) Read (6) Book, .□.≠o
The F150 project of Zhonghua Fokker Company completed the design of the digital prototype in only one year, while it was originally scheduled to take two and a half years, and this high efficiency is absolutely world-class.
Nikolai Talikov and others also learned that the functional realism of the digital prototype of Zhonghua Fokker is very high, very close to the "physical prototype" created in the end, and more experiments can be done on this digital prototype, and the design problems and deficiencies are found before the official production, and the design is improved and optimized with the fastest time and very low cost.
If the traditional method of design is used, it will take at least seven or eight years or even longer from the design to the prototype and finalization, which is not an order of magnitude different from the existence of the digital prototype.
Because the digital prototype of Zhonghua Fokker is not only a virtual "prototype" and virtual test, but also integrates "virtual" manufacturing, production, process, maintenance, improvement and other links related to the whole life cycle of this "aircraft".
It is precisely in this way that when these "virtual" processes are all completed and the problems found are solved, the pace and efficiency of the process of prototyping, testing, mass production, and re-upgrading are transferred to the "real world" -
It took only two years for the F150 to go from design to prototype to its first flight!
What's even more shocking is that many manufacturers of subsystems are also forced to adopt CNC machine tool technology by Zhonghua Fokker, which is the first passenger aircraft in China to be completely digitally designed and produced. [← 8 [← 8 [← read [← book, .2↘
Nikolai Talikov also learned through inquiries that this digital simulation test system software was developed by Huaxing Group Company itself, and now it has been fully promoted throughout Huaxing Group Company.
After hearing the news, Nikolai Talikov did not speak for a long time, to be honest, he was really deeply shocked by the fanatical pursuit and execution of Huaxing Group in technology.
Huaxing Group's strategy for digital technology was implemented by Yang Jie, the founder, very early on, and has been implemented for six years, which is really rare.
In this comparison, the Ilyushin Aviation Group Company and several domestic aircraft manufacturing companies are already far behind in this regard.
Before coming to China Fokker, these designers, including Nikolai Talikov, were a little arrogant, but after some contact, they found that the other company's company had entered a new mode of work, and they felt a little unable to keep up with the rhythm, and even felt a lot of pressure.
Bai Yonghui, the president of Zhonghua Fokker who was in charge of receiving them, also hoped that these designers could master the software and new workflow mode of digital prototypes as soon as possible.
Some designers even complained to Nikolai Talikov that he had to learn how to use the digital simulation modeling software, saying that he could not use his hand drawing skills.
Nikolai Talikov also scolded these designers for this: "Won't you know how to learn? And you all have to learn it well for me, and when we return to China, we will adopt this system ourselves." The design ideas and experience in your head are the most valuable things, and you have to show me some real skills, don't let the people here look down on you!"
Yang Jie naturally didn't know about these things, and when he asked Bai Yonghui about the attitude of the design team of Ilyushin Aviation Group, he was quite surprised to hear that these designers were quite cooperative.
Because Huaxing Group has hired a lot of foreign technical personnel, it is natural that there has been poor communication when communicating with the company's technical team, so the management of Huaxing Group has also thought of a lot of ways.
But since the other party can cooperate with the work, it is also a good thing.
Yang Jie then went to inspect a stamping and forging plant under construction, where an incomparably huge section molding machine was erected, and dozens of skilled workers with hard hats were nervously debugging the 80,000-ton press.
Seeing Yang Jie coming, a man in his fifties led by him walked over quickly with a smile on his face, "Yang Shao, why are you here?"
"I heard that this 80,000-ton forging press has been assembled, so I came to take a look. ”
Yang Jie smiled and shook hands with Li Haichuan, the chairman of the Erzhong Group Company in front of him.
This incomparably huge forging press is the first 80,000-ton forging press designed and built by Erzhong Group Company for China Fokker Company, and it is also the most powerful forging press in the world at this stage, which is more pressure than the 75,000-ton forging press in Damao's country.
Erzhong Group is the most powerful state-owned enterprise in forging press technology in China, formerly known as Southwest Heavy Machinery Factory, which was established in 1958, mainly producing large-scale artillery barrel forging and aviation forgings, and finally became Erzhong Group Company.
As a key state-owned enterprise related to national defense, Erzhong Group Company was affected during the reform and opening up, but the company was still protected, and the research and development of the product technology research office and manufacturing department of the heavy machinery design and research institute in the company was not interrupted.
In 2000, the second group company suddenly had a job to do, mainly because the group company developed a 60,000-ton forging press, and a number of aviation supporting enterprises soon appeared in Deyang, where the second group company is located, and even many foreign companies came to the door for cooperation.
After Huaxing Group entered the aviation industry, it also customized several sets of 60,000-ton forging presses to Erzhong Group Company, one set to Zhonghua Fokker Company, one set to Huake Aviation Technology Company, and one set to Honghu Shipbuilding Group Company, and also purchased a lot of other types of equipment.
Huaxing Group Co., Ltd., as a major customer of Erzhong Group Company, also cooperated with Huaxing Group Company when Erzhong Group Company began to develop this set of 80,000-ton forging press.
The 80,000-ton large-scale die forging press can make the formed mechanical components have precise shape and high-precision dimensions. About 85% of the parts on the aircraft are components, and Huaxing Group's Zhonghua Fokker Company and Huake Aviation Technology Company are the largest aircraft manufacturers in China, and will develop larger aircraft, and Erzhong Group is also very important.
Huaxing Group Co., Ltd. also provided technical and R&D financial support for this set of national heavy equipment, and ordered two sets, the first set of 80,000-ton forging press was first given to Zhonghua Fokker Company, and the other set is still in production, which will be delivered to Huake Aviation Technology Company after completion. 11
