"Is the automatic fiber laying machine installed?" Zhong Bing asked the staff.

"It's already installed. The staff from Hongxin Group said. A week ago, they began ordering a mechanism called the carbon fiber composite automatic fiber placement machine, which is a key piece of equipment specifically used to synthesize carbon fiber composites over a large area.

"Fully automatic silk laying machine! I have long wanted to see it!" Gao Wei said in surprise, "I am really ashamed, we have been using manual and half machine silk laying." As a result, carbon fiber composites cannot be synthesized in a large area, and can only be used in small areas such as beams and wings. ”

Lu Zixin and others also arrived, and a group of people went to the machine room to prepare to visit Hongxin Group's new carbon fiber composite synthesis technology and automatic fiber laying machine.

When they arrived at the machine room, they saw that an assembly line of production equipment was laid here. From the "silk" generation of new carbon fiber composites, fiber laying, construction, etc., are all completely machine-operated.

Anderson was shocked when he saw this machine, several links of this machine are similar to their company's core technology machines, which means that the red letter party is likely to have really mastered this technology!

"Mr. Anderson, what do you think of it?" Lu Zixin asked with a smile.

"It looks good, but I want to know how it works," says Anderson, "and the large carbon fiber composite layup is nowhere near as simple as it seems." ”

"yes, so we put in a lot of effort to make it happen. Lu Zixin said.

"Could it be that the Hongxin Group has been studying this material for a long time?" Anderson wondered in his heart.

"Can you start?" Peng Zhengge was looking forward to this, he hoped to see a surprise.

Robot Zhang Ming nodded and said: "The raw materials are all right, but we need the detailed data of your aircraft's carbon fiber composite layup, and input it into the automatic wire laying machine before proceeding to the next step." ”

"I'll arrange this!" Gao Wei can start working, and let people call up the data and input it into the machine.

"Mr. Zhang, I'm curious, how much volume of carbon fiber composite layup can this machine make at a time?" 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 and how big is it!"

"This can't be!" Anderson shook his head again and again, and said, "Mr. Zhang, don't be joking, I know this aspect very well. As far as I know, Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Company's current manual and semi-mechanical carbon fiber composite layup technology can only complete the layup of a small volume like an aircraft beam wing. ”

"If it's a carbon fiber composite layer for the wing and fuselage, we still need to provide it from Honeywell International. Even we dare not speak of infinite volume. ”

"High-performance, complexly curved carbon fiber composites cannot be manufactured without a single flaw. The aircraft is a strict whole, from materials to systems, as long as there is a problem in one aspect, it will affect the overall performance. ”

Zhang Ming's expression was flat, and he said: "Of course I know that any change in the shape or weight of any small part will affect the torque balance and many parameters of the entire aircraft, and all counterweights may need to be overturned and restarted!"

"The most important thing about using carbon fiber composites is to make the aircraft lighter, and that's where it is better than titanium alloys in some areas. ”

"Therefore, in addition to designing carbon fiber composite materials with better performance, we have also adopted the most advanced intelligent algorithms in the setting of the fiber laying machine, and every curved surface and every small detail is perfected in place. Coupled with our precision machine technology, it is enough to complete the large-volume carbon fiber composite layup. ”

"Today we can start manufacturing composite layups for wings right away!"

"Jump right into the wings!" Not to mention Anderson, even the researchers at the Institute of Aeronautical Materials were shocked.

To create a large layer of carbon fiber composite for a wing, they have to go back and forth for a few months, let alone a few months, and if there is a material problem or a manufacturing defect, it will take a few more months!

It is too exaggerated that the team and equipment of Hongxin Group have been here for less than 24 hours before they have started to manufacture composite material layups for wings! If they follow their production and manufacturing efficiency, wouldn't they be able to produce aircraft on the assembly line of the factory?

This is not a small private aircraft, but a large commercial aircraft! Technical difficulty and work complexity are not a concept at all!

"If you can directly manufacture the composite material layup of the wing today, Mr. Peng, you can permanently cross out the carbon fiber composite material from our company's material purchase list!" Anderson felt that the other party was too arrogant!

During the negotiation and presentation, he has been putting pressure on him, and he has to show the confidence and strength of Honeywell International as an international aerospace materials giant technology company!

"Then let's wait and see!" Zhang Ming finished speaking and began to work.

No matter how good the machine and technology are, it must be strictly debugged and calculated.

Peng Zhengge, Gao Wei and others are waiting, if they can take this step, it will be of great significance to them. At present, the Huaxia Commercial Aircraft Manufacturing Company plans to increase the proportion of domestic materials and parts for its large commercial aircraft to 50 percent. The proportion of carbon fiber composite materials in the new large aircraft is as high as more than 20%!

This will be an important step for them to get rid of their dependence on aviation technology companies in other countries!

Anderson Fergus was also waiting, and after more than an hour, Hongxin's team adjusted the machines and data and was ready to start production.

In the production workshop, a group of technicians are watching.

"Start!" Zhang Ming gave an order, and the machine started. In the display of the machine, a three-dimensional projection is projected, and the appearance of the finished product is simulated on it. This part of the carbon fiber composite layup will perfectly cover the wings, replacing titanium alloy and aluminum alloy, with stronger performance and reducing the weight of the aircraft.

Through the projection, they can clearly see the manufacturing process of each part and make corrections in time.

Everyone waited with bated breath, staring at every step of the machine. The first is the synthesis of a new type of carbon fiber composite material, which is made into a filament by a machine, and then fluttered into a thin layer like a weaving cloth!

This is completely different from the simple process of making clothes, this silk is nano-level, ten layers of carbon fiber composite material layup, adding up may not have a cicada wing nano thick!

And what they have to do is to repeatedly lay hundreds of layers! And also take into account the curved surface and weight ratio of the wing, and do not allow any errors beyond the error range, otherwise the previous efforts will be wasted!
