Aecordi~g.tn information from Secretary Kenneth Baker, th~ British government plans to initiate a support program. The support program fo~ CAD/CAM systems, which are e~ected to improve the competitiv: capability of Great Britain, has a value of 6 million pounds. According to Kenneth Baker, secretary for information technology in the _ British Ministry of Industry, it includes seminars, information and de~nonstra- tion symposia and the awarding of financial grants to small and medf.um-sized ~ busa.nesses which want to acquire a CAD/CAM system. Under the program, each company receives a grant of 2,0~0 pounds to defray the costs for consultation, research and development associated with installing a CAD/CAM system. lhe three-year program will start immediately. According to information from the minister of industry, large astronautics, electrical and electronic campanies have workQd out figures based on exper- ience which show that the applicaticn of CAD/CAM systems in technical development programs can increase the productivity of a design group by a factor of 3.5. Also, certain British industrial branchPS have shown that - a time savings of up to 25 percent can be achieved from the start of product ~ development to production maturity. The basic equipment of a CAD/CAM in~tallation consists of minicomputer, a data display device or CRT processor and the associated input keyboard, The present price in Great Britain for an installation suitable for a group of 20 designers is about 2~,00~ pounds. There.are, however, higher-capacity installations costing 60,000 to 250,OOQ pounds. These include zoom effects, more powerful central processors and larger memories. 2 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000500050032-6 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00854R400504050032-6 FOR OFI The total mzrket for CAD/CAM systems, which increased in Great Britsin by 88 . percent in 1979, expanded by an additional 6~ percent in 1980. 1981 is expected to show a further increase of 50 percent.

What trends are enc~untered in these three sectors, as the maEhine-tool industry awaits application of the restruc- turing plan of the same name? However it may turn out, the - builders are making their technical preparations for this bi- annual show. ~ "The French machine=tool industry finds itself toda~ at one of the great turn- - ing points of its history." These are the terms in which Michel Courtois, president of tne Association o� French ~Iachine-Tool Manufacturers (SCFMO), ad- dressed the industrial press on 25 Februar,y. It is difficult to draw up a balance-sheet of the machine-tool industry in a = transitional period, and at press time, no official decision had yet been�taken - regarding the machine-tool development plan, which, as we recall, should make it possible to triple machine-tool production in the next 3 or 4 years. - "While some horizontal restructuring measures are practically fully prepared and ;ahile certain enterprises have got into line with them, nothing is definite yee," confirmed Jean Ct-iauvet, general director of the SCFMO, "and while defini- - tive measures are awaited, no aid has been furnished yet." - Trends in Evolution of Machine-Tools Despite these uncertainties, the 12th French Machine-Tool and Mechanical Equip- ment Biannual should take place in a favoxable context and reflect the growing ~ part played by sutomation in the industriai sector. T~:us a trend that started 1/~ several years ago will take concrete form w~:th the arrival of digital control, then of tool stores at the machining centers, and robots of all kinds. ~ FOR OFFICIAL `USE ONY.Y APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000500050032-6 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2047/02149: CIA-RDP82-00850R000500050032-6 ~y ~m,~,.; S ~ e~L~~ !y4 o , 7 ' '~s' ~ , ~ + = r R~~ ; ~7,.~ ; ' ~ ~ Q,~;r : ' F~ . . ~ ~ y , 1i I ~ s.i~.~ ! ~ x ! ! ~:.;T:~; : - ' . t re S t ~ 1.

FO~2 OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000500050032-6 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-04850R040500050032-6 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY But in order to succeed in automating the means of production rationally, it was necessary to make the machines and their environment coherent, it was ne~- essary to make the machine, the digital control, the loading-unloading system and the automatic tool-changing compatible, while at the same time obtaining high-quaiity production. The contribution of electronis and microprocessor technology has helped a - great deal in putting everything together. In the area of turning, this has taken the concrete form of an impressive number of flexible production modules presented by the lathe manufacturers. Some have themselves gone into the de- signing and fabrication of a robot and its supply system; other have developed their modules with the aid of robotics specialists. But their lathes arp not the only machine-tools worthy of interest. The ma- chining centers are not escaping the automation phenomenon--quite to the con- trary, since they have been the precursors by adopting the automatic-changing tool stores. There are very few machining centers not equipped with a palet- tized table, which permits masked-time loading of work pieces, and also the palettization caxrousel, providing for continuous machining~for many hours without surveillance. In terms of flexibility, it appears that four groups should be considered. First of all, the flexible fabricatiom m~dule. This is composed of a machine for automatic and continuous fabrication. The continuity is achieved on the basis of a machining center tied to a two-pafette to six-palette palettization system or to a CN [digital-controlj lathe equipped with an automatic loading- unloading system--in other words, a robot. The module must, of course, have automatic-centering devices, monitoring of tool lifetime, surveillance of tool breakage, an automatic tool-changing system, autodiagnosis, large memor.y capac- _ ity, etc. In the second phase is the flexible fabrication unit, which, while possessing the same characteristics as the module, runs two or three machines of the same type: two or three palettized machining centers or two or three robotized CN lathes, the purpose af the unit being to do two or three machining operations on the same piece. The flexible production system, for its part, operates more than three machin- ing ce:?t~rs using a single palettization system linking the machines with one another, the whole being managed from a central computer. This system permits tl~e planning of production from the introduction of the rough piece to its fin- al machining, achieving considerabJ.e reduction of machining time as well as a _ decrea~se in the quantity of materials in the shop. Finally, the fourth group inherent in flexible production consists in a com- plete shop comprising machining centers of more or less large capacities (ver- tical or horizontal) as well as lathes if production requires them. The entire shop thus constituted is managed from a central computer that keeps track of, among other things, the tran~port of pieces of different types, management of the tools and their lifetime, changes of tool stores, resharpening, introduc- tion of new data after resharpening, etc. 6 = FOR OFFICIAL USE O1dLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000500050032-6 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000500050032-6 FOR OFF[CIAL USE ONLY - After this definition of several terms, one easily sees that the 12th Biannual will provide the best occasion for bringing out the flexible machining units and modules, unless certain manufacturers decide to exhibit a flexible mini- shop: machining center and lathe that would have common loading-unloading. We Will have confirmation of this only at the opening of the exhi.bition, and we hope that a French builder will take up this challenge. Still in the area of machining by removal of material, considerable development of the electroerosion machlne is noted. Without going so far as to review the - fundamental principles of this process, it should not be forgotten that it is applied by two methods that result in two very different utilizations. First of all--and this was one of the first applications--there is machining by pressing or recessing: an electrode-tool impresses its form into an electrode- workpiece. Next ther.e appeared machining by wiY~e: a wire-tool cuts into an _ electrode-workpiece. Electroerosion has undergone a spectacular evolution in recent years, but it has essentially involved mastery of the process and per- fecting of it; thus, the current generators have reached a high technical lev- el, and.they too have benefited from electronics, and incidentally from digital control, which is now taking charge of--in addition to the spark parameters-- the speeds of advance of the electrode-tool for both pressing and cutting. Electroerosion is a slow process, and therefore, perhaps more than any other process, it needs to be automated to increase output. But there is also an- other thing to be noted: electroerosion is no longer the appanage of the tool- makers (cutting tools) or of the molders (injection tools, pressure-casting tools). Electroerosion machine-tools are now appearing in production opera- tions, for they make it possible to solve machining problems which, though they could be handled by conventional processes, entailed very high fabrication costs. This is particularly the case in the aeronautical industry, where EDM (Electro-Discharge Machining) machines are appearing for production of pieces considered difficult to machine, either because of their configuration or be- cause of the mate.rial to be machined. Rough machining and finish machining by automatic changing of the electrode and digita.l-control accomodation of para- meters, automatic rethreading of wire for series cutting of pieces--it looks as if EDM machines wi11 be adapted for use in phantom work units. The demand seems to be~there, and the manufacturers will certainly respond to it at the Biannual. Deformation of inetals raises the same concern to automate production. The working rate of the presses is being increased, but there is also a change in their feed systems: depending on the type of machine, feeding is being done Uy transfer systems or by robot. Here too, digital control is involved: it makes it possible to control alltfi~..paranreters, such as high dead center, low dead center, speeds, etc; on folding presses, CN controls the folding angle, the po- sition of the stops. Punching work benefits from digital controA as well as from advanced technologies such a~ laser and plasma techniques.

ONLY portant phases in all the construction industries will be taken up this year. In the fields of aeronautics and space, it is well-known that assembly in gen- eral is crucial, for screwing, riveting, setting, gluing and welding are not decided on~arbitrarily--and even less, the combining of these various tech- t?icjues for constructing one unit comprising several components that are made monolithic by these very~processes. This sectoX is being developed be�ause of the aircraft-builder.s� constant con- cern to put reliable products on the market while at the same time adhering to cost and energy-saving criteria that inevitably lead to savings of raw materi- _ als, implementation of new technologies, and modification of existing compo- nents and products. All these developmental trends lead to the designing of machines for different specific types of assembly, and quite naturally, the concern to automate the operations is not neglected. It is therefore not a simple matter to make choices both at the level of the mode of assembly and as regards its implementation. The exhibition should make _ it possible to visualize the various solutions proposed to the users, and to enable one to make a judicious choice and to keep better track of the develop- ments in this field; four half-day technical sessions will be held from 14 to 17 June, with these gener~l themes: screwing and bolting; industrial glues and adhesives; fasteners; and automated ass~mbly. Industrial Robotics In view of the preceding, one will readily note the predominant position that automation is taking in the transformation se~tor. Therefore, for the firsr time in France, industrial robotics will have an international exhibiton that will complement the 12th International Congress on Tndustrial Robots, to be - held not far from the Exposition Park from 9 to 11 June. Industrial robotics is a fast-developing sector that encompasses both the mani- pulators (handling arms) and the robots with 6 or 7 degrees of liberty. Be- tween these two extremes lies a whole more or less complex range. The tiandling of work pieces is certainly the area that benefits most from the contribution of robotics. In simple handling, there are the robots for load- ing-unloading of machine-tools (lathes, cutting-stamping presses, molding ma- chines, injection machines), for measuring machines, through end-of-line palet- ' tization of work pieces. Furthermore, certain of these robots or palettized systems are integrated with the machines, and direct control of them is dane by the machine's CN. Remote manipulators with assiFted manual control are used in forges and foundries. Also in the area of handling, there are cr.ore and more electrically commanded assembly-robots; they are generally found in the elec- tronics and electrical industries. Welding is one of the special fields for robots. First to come were the spot- welding robots, replacing the transfer machines specific to a product, or if the welding was done manually, the robot r:ade it possible to improve the work- i.?g conditions. More recently, the arc-welding robots"were developed. Appli- ' cation of paints is certainly one of the spPCial fields for the robots with 6 8 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000500050032-6 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00854R000500050032-6 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY _ or 7 degrees of liberty, as are also fin-removal, cutting or polishing--tasks that can be sutomated by robot. In these latter cases, the robot is equipped with a tool that moves with the shape of the pieces being worked on (welding, painting, cutting, polishing, etc). These robots are called "advanced," and there are said to be 650 of them in France. As one sees, the interaction among the three shows that will take place from 9 to 17 June can only be beneficial and represents the majority of the means of production necessary to all industrial sectors.

Rolls-Royce officials hope that a decision will be possible before the end of the month. Robins explained that developments costs of new engines are between $1.5 billion and $2 billion. This means that launching a new program is beyond a single manufacturer's financial means. Rolls-Royce has also held discussions with French officials about expanding participation in the RJ-500 program. Rolls-Royce and its Japanese partners--Kawasaki, Mitsubishi, and Ishikawajima-Haruma--have each already spent 20 million pounds sterling in designing and building two technology demonstrators. The first such prototype - engine recently began its tests in England. The second is to begin its tests in Japan within a few days. But the total cost of the RJ-500 development - program is between 750 million and l.l billion pounds sterZing. To finance its share--at lease 250 million pounds sterling--Rolls-Royce will have to call upon its owner, the British government, but the latter will first have to - be convinced of the project's profitability. The fact is that three British firms are simultaneously seeking government ~ _ assistance: Ro11s-Royce for the RJ-500, British Aerospace for the A320, and _ Westland for the WG.30. In a speech to the SBAC [Society of British Aerospace Companies], Norman Lamont, the secretary of state for industry, summarized the government's attitude toward these requests as follows: "The government has, in fact, indicated it :s prepared to consider any _ request for support in the form of investments reimbursable vy payment from - sales earnings. It has also clearly indicated i~ would do this by taking = into accotznt its resourc~s available at the time the request is submitted, - and also the merits of the pro~ect under consideration." Rolls-Royce ~aas nationalized 11 years ago after the dismal bankruptcy of the former Rolls-Royce Company. The firm has been in the red during the past few years, and last year the government "poured" some 50 million pounds sterling ; _ i 10 FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000500050032-6 APPROVED FOR RELEASE: 2007/02/09: CIA-RDP82-00850R000500050032-6 FOR OFFiCIAL USE ONLY into the company. Rolla officials expect the company to begin ehowing a profit once a~sin by 1983. Nevertheless, the government is not planning to denationalize it ir. the near future. Lamont said he considered this to be a long-range goal. Acc~~rding to him, the financial assistance~given Rolls-Royce during th~ period April 1981 April 1983 will total 364 million paunds sterling. To be denationalized, Rolls-Royce wi11 first have to increase its productivitq. To this end it will have to reduce ita employee force again by 6,000 persons this year after havir~g already slashed it by 6,000 during the past ~15 months. Robins estimated the market for the RB-211 and RJ-500 engines at 5,OOp units over the next 25 years. The American.engine manufactureis, Pratt & Whitney and General Electric, are pondering the feasibility of launching a new technology 10-ton-thrust powerplant. Pratt & Whitney seems to be more prepared to proceed with such - a project than does General Electric. In tlie event of a cooperation agreement on development of a 10-ton-thrust engine, it would be surprising, ~ however, to see one of the two major American engine manufacturers allow Rolls-Royce to be the prime contractor.

This phase is scheduled to end in Jime with the aircraft's structural drawings. Cutting of inetal will begin on 1 July. Completion of the overall drawings is scheduled for March 1983. Full-size wooden mock-ups are under construction at Aeritalia's plants and will be used to test the flight compartment's internal space and layout. They will be shipped to Toulouse [Aerospatiale] in September. Aeritalia is also - currently building a class 1 mock-up of the aircraft's section 15 which houses the landing gear well, plus a class 2(metal) mock-up of secti~z 11 (flight deck). This mock-up of the forward part of the ai~craft will be shipped to Toulouse on 15 June. First flight of the first aircraft is still targeted for August 1984, with certification expected 1 year later. By that time, six ATR-42's will have been built. Delivery of the second aircraft is planned for November 1984.
