Chapter 859: Important Things
The compound eye camera is manufactured on a full-motion assembly platform.
The full-motion assembly platform is the magic weapon of the large-scale mass production of small products in the giant beast industry, which can be set in advance, and the equipment uses many robotic arms to assemble a product, from the initial thousands of parts, into a whole artifact, and the ability of each unit is no less than an assembly line.
Taking mobile phone manufacturing as an example, Foxconn's OEM mobile phone products require hundreds of thousands of assembly line workers to stand on the production line, each responsible for a process, in order to create millions of mobile phone production figures in one day.
There may be dozens of people on a line, the first person may be responsible for installing the camera, the second person may install the wireless communication module, and the third person may install the speaker, and so on.
Everyone stands in front of the workbench, and when the guide rail drives the mobile phone in front of you, you only need to put the spare parts module you are responsible for, and use an auxiliary tool that can automatically spit out the screws to make the screws, or connect their joints.
All your processes, even a single gesture of raising your hand, have been studied more than a hundred times by engineers. They design any device imaginable to assist you with this uncomplicated process.
There is an automatic wire extractor for the installation of screws, and the screw screwing process is also fully electrically operated. However, you can't do anything superfluous during the installation process, which is strict to the point that a precision screw must be installed within 6 to 8 seconds. It is strict until the toilet time is limited, otherwise one person will stop, and the whole line will follow suit.
At the end of the day, repeat this action thousands of times.
Mobile phones can be said to be the most sophisticated and advanced products in civilian electronic products. But looking at its production process on the other hand, it is a labor-intensive processing plant through and through. No one can persist in this boring and high-intensity work for several years.
The full-motion assembly platform is to mechanize all these actions.
The principle is not complicated, whether it is the installation of electronic modules, or the connection of wiring, this is actually a very simple mechanical action. How can humans make a CNC machining center and cut an iron ingot into a brilliant metal crown, but how can they not solve these simple mechanical actions?
But in fact, it just can't be solved.
One of the biggest difficulties is accuracy, humans can ensure that the five-axis machining center, the error of the processed parts is so small that the naked eye can not distinguish. However, there is no guarantee that a piece of equipment can be moved around, to clamp various electronic components of different specifications, and then to align and install.
This is not a contradiction, humans can design mechanical parts that do these processes, but they can't make it reuse thousands of times, and after tens of thousands of times, they can still install electronic components in place with accuracy.
If it is not accurate, there will be defective products, and technicians will be required to disassemble the equipment for maintenance.
A piece of equipment worth tens of millions may be frequently overhauled in less than half a month. And a device can only correspond to one mobile phone model, and every time the model is changed, a large number of mechanical parts need to be replaced.
So at the moment, intensive production lines are still the only way to produce mobile phones.
Humans can't do it, monsters can. The full assembly platform can assemble not only mobile phones, but also any electronic technology product that fits the size.
But the 400 full-motion assembly platforms in front of Ye Qing are different from those used to assemble mobile phones outside.
If it is said that the full platform for assembling mobile phones is equal to the processing center, these 400 units are equal to the lithography machine.
The assembly accuracy of mobile phones only needs to be controlled at the micron level, and these used to produce compound eye cameras need to be controlled at the nanometer level.
The more complex the process, the more difficult it is to ensure accuracy. Therefore, the full motion platforms in the No. 17 plant have been specially transformed, and they have been canceled the complex three-dimensional processing capacity, only the one-dimensional processing capacity, and the mechanical processing parts can only move up and down, not even left and right.
It can only produce compound eye cameras, with dense needlepoint-sized workpieces, dotted around on electronic components that are indistinguishable to the naked eye.
And a hundred delicate masters are responsible for the most important process.
- Aim.
500 compound eye cameras are placed on the processing platform as a template element. Let the template and the processed workpiece coincide perfectly, and the straightness error of the two is less than one nanometer.
Ye Qing encountered the same problem as humans producing mobile phones, and the monsters now have no way to solve it, so that the mechanical structure can take the template and move it to the working platform, with an error accuracy of less than one nanometer.
In other words, the monsters can't solve the demanding requirements for precision in mass production situations. On the handmade production of one or two pieces, the master of ingenuity can completely endure the temperament, and process things with an accuracy of less than one nanometer little by little.
For example, the iron ruler that was given to the Japanese University of Science and Technology at the beginning, and the spinning top that was given to Mr. President.
Errors can now only be corrected by a master of ingenuity, by means of an assisted electron microscope, by means of laser aiming, and by means of specially designed manual lead screw guides.
This is the same as the lithography machine requires a sophisticated alignment system to correct for mask and sample errors.
The difference is that those technicians, no matter how careful and skillful, will cause lithography failure due to some negligence.
This kind of failure is called yield rate, and the more complex the chip, the lower the yield rate.
Master Delicate is responsible for the aiming of four devices alone, and the yield rate is 100%.
What Ye Qing wants is to replace the delicate master through mechanical movement, and then achieve a 100% yield rate. Now there are a hundred delicate masters, which is too much to occupy the number of monsters.
It's a pity that even the monsters can't do this, and Ye Qing also doesn't have any ideas.
"Alas~ I am still not satisfied, others produce cameras, it may take thousands of people to participate, and now there are a hundred exquisite masters, which is actually not much. ”
"It's this production that is really in short supply, and we can't continue to increase the number of exquisite masters. After sighing, Ye Qing prepared to leave here. Anyway, if you continue to look at it, you can't look at the output.
Ye Qing was going to take a look at the sealed slipway again.
Before Ye Qing left for Europe, the Humpback Whale was changing the reactor cooling system in the slipway. Now that the renovation is over, two wild djinn are loading industrial equipment into the cargo hold for their next trip to Nicara.
Since destroying an American patrol ship two months ago, Ye Qing has not sent any more cargo ships to Nigaya.
Because Ye Qing understands that if he sends an ordinary cargo ship again, he will encounter the same seizure as the Level. The U.S. side only needs to hint at the countries that the freighter passes along the way, and those countries will have to sell their face and make things difficult for the freighter of the Behemoth Industry for various reasons.
In the eyes of ordinary people who don't know the truth, this is just an individual act of that country along the way.
Because of this, the Suotu rainforest plant has not been able to replenish the equipment, and the processed concentrate can only be airlifted back to China by plane, resulting in the production capacity of plasma batteries has not been able to rise.
Now that the humpback whale has finally come out, when there is no way to solve the production capacity of compound eye cameras at the moment, Ye Qing naturally has to work hard to expand the production capacity of plasma batteries first.
"Wait~"
Ye Qing had just stepped out of the factory, and a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.
I seem to have forgotten something very important.
It seems to have something to do with the horizontal number......
With this hint, Ye Qing quickly remembered what he had forgotten.
Lordship warship.
The last time the Horizontal was seized, it was the lord warship that rushed to the aid and killed the patrol ship.
The Monster Factory has been upgraded, and the Lord Ship has also been upgraded by one level!
