Flexible Nacelle Manufacturing Strategy (FLEXCELLE)

flexcellle项目将为机舱制造创造一个灵活的战略，允许使用相同的设备生产不同的产品。这将包括一个可重新配置的夹具复合面板加工过程和一个通用的装配单元。通过创建匹配的加工表面，零件的摆振要求将被消除。确定的总成将不需要在总成上钻孔和沉孔。最终的装配过程将包括简单地将预钻和机加工零件和设备螺栓连接在一起。数字化制造环境将连接各个单元。该项目的目标是在减少非经常性投资的同时提高生产率。

The Flexcelle project will create a flexible strategy for nacelle manufacture, allowing different products to be manufactured using the same equipment. This will include a reconfigurable fixture for composite panel machining process and a generic assembly cell. The requirement for shimming of parts will be eliminated by creating matched machined surfaces. Determinate assembly will remove the need to drill and countersink holes on assembly. The resulting assembly process will consist of simply bolting together pre-drilled and machined parts and equipping. A digital manufacturing environment will link cells. The objectives of the project are to increase productivity whilst reducing non-recurring investment.
