Chapter 254 Stamping Machines

"Then these ten magic machines will be handed over to your machine tool factory. There should be no problem in general use. Next, we have to trouble Master Holkin to manufacture these machines as soon as possible."

Speaking of which, Xia Lin asked a follower to take out a stack of blueprints from a cardboard box and handed it to Master Holkin. The blueprints contained in this cardboard box are what he can provide according to the MD1.4.2 magic machine during this period of time when he is free. Various machines and equipment designed by the power, the most important machine equipment besides the Wilkinson boring machine is this stack of drawings for the new stamping machine.

With the magic machine as the power source, it is enough to drive this type of stamping machine to work. Besides processing some small sheet metal parts, the most important role of this type of stamping machine is to be used in the bullet production line for stamping brass shells. , to produce metal fixed-loading ammunition.

Compared with the cardboard fixed-loaded ammunition currently used by the new army, the metal fixed-loaded bullet has both advantages and disadvantages. One of the disadvantages is that the cost is much higher than that of the paper-cased fixed-loaded ammunition, and the processing difficulty is also relatively high. Relatively mature industrial base.

However, metal fixed bullets can make the shell very thin, unlike paper shell bullets that need a certain thickness in order to maintain the shape of the bullet, which occupies the space of the propellant, resulting in a reduction in the power of the charge.

At the same time, even if it is specially made paper, there will be more residue after burning, which is why the rifles of the new army need to be cleaned with a cleansing rune disk after they can't fire dozens of rounds.

In addition, the metal fixed-loading bullets can be recycled for reloading, or the shells can be re-cast and reproduced. At the same time, it can also reduce the failure rate of the rifle. Therefore, overall, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Otherwise, Xia Lin’s previous firearms would not generally use metal. Fixed load.

After the power could meet the needs of this stamping equipment, Xia Lin immediately drew up the corresponding drawings.

"You are really in a hurry! There are at least seventeen or eighteen kinds of machine drawings here? But as long as you can provide enough magic energy liquid, let us let go of using magic machines to drive machine tools for processing and manufacture these devices It shouldn't take much time."

Master Holkin briefly checked the drawings of the stack of stamping machines, and then squatted down to look at the drawings in the carton. His face with a little purple was full of helplessness, but he watched those who were successively installed on the base by employees. He couldn't help rubbing his thick hands with itchy hands again.

"This is definitely no problem, Master Holkin, just go ahead and do it. There is also a machine processing factory that needs to produce more embryos of MD1.4.2 and MD1.2.1 magic machines. At this stage, about two Fifty units of each model need to be produced."

Xia Lin waved his hand and assured without hesitation, as if the financial pressure of the New Leaf Chamber of Commerce did not exist at all during this period.

20% of the profits of each factory in Xinglan Industrial Park will be used for technology upgrades. This fund is usually used for various process upgrade research and development projects related to the factories.

For example, paper mills will use the money to research how to produce whiter and crisper writing paper, or softer and more comfortable toilet paper, or cooperate with other factories to develop some professional paper.

For example, fire paper needed for paper shell bullets and fuses, kraft paper needed for sugar and refined salt factories, newsprint needed for Didu Daily Newspaper, template paper and corrugated paper needed for textile factories, wrapping paper needed for soap factories, etc. In the organization of technical personnel to tackle key problems.

It's just that the research and development process of these papers has not been very smooth because skilled regular employees have been repeatedly transferred over the past six months, and there are no qualified educated technicians.

For such a long time, only the kraft paper used to make document bags and packaging bags and the corrugated paper used to make cartons produced by adding a special type of gum have achieved good results. For example, the toilet paper that Xia Lin is thinking about is still the original one. It is a bit too hard to wipe the buttocks, and it looks like a poor quality that is particularly easy to scratch.

In addition to paper mills, cement factories are also researching different cement formulations on the basis of the most common Portland cement, striving to obtain higher-grade high-strength cement and special cement for special purposes.Other factories also have scattered research projects, most of which are in the direction of better quality and more practical use.

In addition to the consumption of these research projects, the other part of this fund is arranged to be distributed to those employees who have summed up some empirical rules in the production practice process to help the factory optimize and improve the process efficiency.

However, even if such a huge amount of funds has these two directions, it is generally inexhaustible. As the ruler of this fund, Xia Lin naturally aimed the funds needed to complete the power reform on this fund.

After two days of waiting, the machine tool factory with the magic machine, under the leadership of Master Holkin, quickly produced several copper bullet case stamping machines that Xia Lin needed, and there were several sets of different sets of matching machines. Specification shell molds.

The general structure of these stamping machines is similar, and they can even be assembled together, but the processes they are responsible for in the process of stamping the shell case are different.

When working, the first stamping machine will stamp out the standard brass plate put in into small circular copper pieces one by one. After these copper pieces are sent to the subsequent stamping machines, they will be stamped several times. A semi-finished cartridge casing that is stamped and formed in a mold.

After transporting these stamping machines weighing [-] kilograms to the gun factory for installation, Xia Lin equipped them with supporting lathes and other equipment to form a crude bullet production line, and then began to train employees Get started with this assembly line.

With Xia Lin's current technical level, automatic production is naturally impossible, but semi-automation can still be achieved through some mechanical means, such as specifying the size and specifications of each copper plate and mold, and configuring special tools so that employees When moving, it only needs to be pushed gently with a tool, and the semi-finished product that has completed one stamping process can be pushed to the next process.

The charge of the cartridge case can also be passed through a simple foot-operated machine, allowing it to evenly divide the finished gunpowder delivered from the powder factory and then transport it to the charge workers at the end of the assembly line. The funnel can be aligned with the bullet casing to complete the charging process, allowing them to avoid the cumbersome work of weighing gunpowder.

After completing the assembly of the assembly line and the training of the staff, and starting the trial production, Xia Lin, who was worried about the logistics of the new army, breathed a sigh of relief at the production capacity that this metal bullet assembly line could bring.

With 72 full-time workers at full capacity, 15 rounds of ammunition can be produced in three shifts a day, but the troubles that come with it also make Xia Lin feel a little headache.

The problem of raw materials for copper-cased ammunition is easy to solve. With Xia Lin's current strength, it is not a problem to maintain production for a period of time. The key is the transformation of the 1391-type 2 rifle.

The type 2 rifle uses the flame spell rune disc to directly ignite the fire paper and charge to fire the fixed paper shell bullet. The reason why the Type 2 rifle needs to have the barrel cleaned every now and then.

Switching to metal fixed ammunition with copper shells now will definitely reduce the frequency of cleaning the barrel, but it also means that Xia Lin still needs to make some changes to the Type 2 rifle and add this ejection port that was not needed before.

In this way, if the thousands of Type 2 rifles that have been produced are not recycled, the impact of changes in the design of the gun body must be minimized, or the new army must be equipped with two types of rifles. Rifle way to avoid this recycling problem.
