Package.
Project Background:
- Commercial aircraft engine nozzles currently
require an operation during production as a
preventative measure against possible rust
development during long term storage.
- To combat against rust, these fuel nozzles
go through a process involving oil being flowed
through the product at a specific programmed
pressure and duration.
Current State:
- Operators manually attach and remove nozzles to
the lubrication fixture using varying couplers for
this large volume oepration (approximately 300
tests per day)
- Repetitive back bending, wrist twisting actions
pose ergonomic issues.
- Oil mist exposure also proves hazardous to
operator
Project Goals:
- Automation of Lubrication System for CFM 56
Fuel Nozzle:
- Reduce Cycle Time: <=30 Seconds
- Reduce Change-over time:<= 2 minutes
- Reduce Ergonomic Issues: Reduce /eliminate
wrist twisting, back bending actions
