"How do you know if you haven't tried it?" Meng Xiaobai made the final decision. He asked Guan Yang to obtain the data requirements of the camshaft and crankshaft needed for the new engine developed by SAIC through his connections, and prepare to manufacture mold parts.
Although Guan Yang felt it was impossible, he still worked hard to overcome it with his team. After polishing it in the production workshop for seven or eight days, the finished product was still not satisfactory.
"There are technical flaws!" Guan Yang concluded, "The most fatal problem is the equipment! Our milling machine simply cannot meet the precision requirements for producing engine axles. And the strength is also a problem. The strength test of the parts produced is poor.
If it cannot pass the test, SAIC will definitely not want this product!"
"Leave this matter to Professor Kaneki." Meng Xiaobai said after reading his report.
"This..." Guan Yang sighed secretly. He felt more and more that this new boss was unreliable. No matter what he said, the technology was not up to standard and the equipment was not precise enough. Meng Xiaobai just didn't believe in evil.
What can Professor Kaneki do about this kind of thing? Unless foreign companies can give up their monopoly and sell their production equipment to Blue Star Motors - you can tell with your toes that that is impossible!
"Mr. Guan, what did the president say?" Yang Cheng'an, one of Guan Yang's apprentices and a senior automotive engineer, asked.
"He said, leave it to Professor Jinmu, Jinmu can solve it." Guan Yang said.
"How to solve this?" Yang Chengan frowned slightly, "No matter how powerful Professor Jinmu is, he can't improve the precision of the product! This is too...not to mention."
He also didn't understand. At first, he thought that Deep Space Technology would be able to achieve great results by investing in Blue Star Motors. Who knew that this boss was so unreliable and set goals that they could not achieve.
What a hell if they could make it! Wouldn't that directly break the monopoly of foreign companies on precision automotive parts?
Not only them, other engineers and designers also complained, but Meng Xiaobai's instructions were very firm, so they had no choice but to comply.
One day later, the rumored Professor Kaneki came to Blue Star Motors.
After some research in the factory, he started to do the first thing - modifying the milling machine.
Guan Yang and others watched as the CNC milling machine in the factory was dismantled, loaded into a large truck, and driven away by Meng Xiaobai's bodyguard Lin Jiang.
Jinmu moved the milling machine to a mechanical research base in Deep Space Technology and began to modify it.
It is indeed impossible to produce high-precision spare parts with the original equipment. Therefore, the production equipment must be modified.
"Sir, in the past, I was not sure that I could transform these devices." Jin Mu reported to Meng Xiaobaihui via video chat, "But now, my own body is the best transformation device, which is enough to complete it!"
He said, raised his hand, his arm showed the appearance of liquid metal, wrapped the milling machine, and melted all the accessories prepared around it into his body, and began to transform it.
After some modifications, this processing and milling machine has become completely different. Its processing accuracy has improved several times compared with before, reaching the top international level.
"Maruko-chan, I need to trouble you to design a CNC system for it." Kaneki said.
"Leave it to me!" Xiao Wanzi immediately designed the corresponding digital control program based on the operating requirements of the machine and loaded it into it.
"Dang, clang, clang!" Xiaowanzi shouted, "Master, please see, a new CNC ultra-precision machining milling machine modified by Kaneki Xiaowanzi's strongest combination has been released!"
A milling machine is a machine tool that uses a milling cutter to process various surfaces of a workpiece. It is an essential equipment for parts manufacturing. Before modification, this milling machine was just an "advanced" processing milling machine imported from abroad.
But the spare parts it added could not meet the precision requirements of engine parts at all. Now, the machining precision of this milling machine can fully meet the requirements! It even exceeds!
Xiaowanzi said: "The intelligent CNC system I installed only needs to be connected to the computer, and the parts can be processed directly through the three-dimensional model!"
"Awesome!" Meng Xiaobai praised.
Maruko: "(ノ￣▽￣)!"
"Jinmu, it's up to you to guide them on how to process and design." Meng Xiaobai continued.
"No problem, I'll cover it!" Jin Mu nodded in agreement.
They modified it and it took less than half an hour. However, this intelligent CNC milling machine for parts processing, named the Venus series, was sent to the Blue Star Automobile Manufacturing Factory a week later.
This is also to avoid anyone suspecting that the transformation will take some time.
"Is this the modified milling machine?" When the milling machine was sent back, Guan Yang and others immediately went over to see it. Its appearance had indeed been modified, and the interior seemed to have also been changed.
But everyone has doubts on their faces. Can the research base of deep space technology transform machine tools? Impossible, right? This is the top industrial technology!
"Can it really produce precision parts?" Guan Yang asked again.
Jin Mu showed no expression and said, "You'll know after you try it."
"Start work!" Guan Yang did not believe in evil and immediately arranged to start manufacturing.
The mold part they want to try is the crankshaft of the engine, which is the most important part in the engine! It bears the force from the connecting rod and converts it into torque that is output through the crankshaft and drives other accessories on the engine to work.
The crankshaft is subject to the centrifugal force of the rotating mass, the periodically changing gas inertia force and the reciprocating inertial force, which causes the crankshaft to be subject to bending and torsion loads. Therefore, the crankshaft is required to have sufficient strength and stiffness, and the journal surface must be wear-resistant and work evenly.
Good balance.
If a crankshaft that meets the requirements can be successfully manufactured, it means that the milling machine has been successfully transformed.
The rough parts were fed into the Venus intelligent CNC milling machine. According to the data requirements entered by the computer, the milling machine began processing.
In the production workshop, there was a circle of people, all mechanical engineers and automotive designers in the factory. They all wanted to see if this so-called Professor Kaneki was really capable.
The milling cutter has begun CNC turning the main journal and connecting rod shaft of the rough blank. The rough metal blank is cut quickly in front of the sharp milling cutter, and the accuracy is all within the strict range!
Then there is the broaching process. Originally, a crankshaft grinder was required for fine grinding after reaching this stage. However, this modified CNC milling machine is equipped with a grinding machine and has a matching automatic balancing device, automatic tracking, automatic measurement, automatic compensation, and grinding wheel.
With automatic trimming and other functions, the grinding stability is unparalleled. A milling machine can directly complete finishing!
From the outside, Guan Yang and others did not know how powerful this modified milling machine was, and everything had to wait until the actual measurement data of the finished mold parts were released.
