PRODUCTION ENGINEERING MEASURE FOR MANUFACTURE OF METEOROLOGICAL BALLOONS TYPE ML-541( )/UM.

Abstract

The first section of the report contains a complete description of the technical and operational problems and their solutions. A thorough investigation of existing hand techniques was performed, and a conical ring method for joining the head and tail balloons was selected as a basis for the design of the assembly machine. Various types of dipping machines were examined. A one cylinder hydraulically operated turntable was chosen for its simplicity, dependability and safety of operation. A conveyorized inflation drying system was designed and installed to inflate and dry head and tail balloons. The second section contains a complete process specification for the manufacture of the ML-541( )/UM meteorological balloon. It fully describes the manufacturing equipment, dipping forms, necessary materials and procedures required to fulfill the pilot un and pilot production line. The third section of the report consists of the Quality Control Manual listing the inspection positions and the yields expected from each process. (Author)
