Production Suitability of an Electroform Conductive-Wax Process for the Manufacture of Fluidic Systems.
Abstract
This document presents the results of Phase III of a three-phase program to determine and demonstrate the suitability of the electroform conductive-wax process, used in conjunction with conventional production process, for the manufacture of fluidic systems. During PHase I, an integrated amplifier-manifold hydrofluidic stability augmentation system using the electroform conductive wax process was successfully designed, fabricated, and qualification tested, and a pilot production line using the electroform conductive wax process was defined. The pilot production line includes all manufacturing, inspection, and assembly equipment necessary to produce the integrated amplifier-manifold hydrofluidic stability augmentation systems. Phase II included the setup and checkout of the pilot production line. Three groups of three systems each were fabricated and tested. Circuit configuration and the production processes were changed as a result of the analysis of each group of components. In this phase, Phase III, a small 'proof' production run was accomplished, using the pilot production line and the revised production process. Component quality was determined through detailed testing of components and systems combined with statistical analysis. A complete definition of the hardware was defined in a separately submitted technical data package. (Author)
