RLCRS De-painted AC OGDEN AIR LOGISTICS COMPLEX
F-35 Scuff/Refresh (S&R) n Maintain Coating Thickness (2 mils off/on) n Looking to be very labor intense • • • n Mask and wash 200 -300 Thickness measurements data points (manual log) done 3 x Mask for sand Sanding (cont. masking/measuring) Chemical wipe or wash Likely to get worse as coating builds up • • n OGDEN AIR LOGISTICS COMPLEX Thickness threshold now requires little to no sanding in some areas This will change as the AC goes through S&R iterations Full Coating Removal requirement is inevitable • • • Coatings age and need to be fully removed AC surfaces need to be inspected (NDI etc. ) Future Mods or Repairs require full coating removal Built Right. . . Ready to Fight
F-35 S&R Using RLCRS OGDEN AIR LOGISTICS COMPLEX n Data is still coming in on first S&R AC n Benefits for S&R: (**Based on initial data**) • • n 200+ man hours savings per AC ($50 k/AC) 7 -8 flow day savings per AC Uniform coating removal over entire AC Ability to level high and low coating thicknesses across AC surface. Digitally accurate coating thickness map of entire AC surface pre/post process (not just 300 locations) Removes workers from Hazardous sanding environment Significantly reduces Stress/Strain from manual sanding operations Benefits for Full De-paint: • • • 1000 s of man hours savings per AC Double digit flow days savings per AC Hazardous waste reduction Built Right. . . Ready to Fight
F-35 RLCRS Status n Optimization of LASER Scanner • • • n OGDEN AIR LOGISTICS COMPLEX Dial in 1 -3 mils coating removal per pass Leave surface finish ready for paint with no required sanding Added Tera. Metrix control system Maximizing Surface access • • • 85 -90% AC surface reachable (hand sand the rest) Working on smaller systems to reach the 10 -15% Sharpen estimates of process time via 3 D cad simulations Built Right. . .
