Charges • Does the tooling fixture provide adequate support and adjustability to perform the MCHP assembly? • Are the drawings complete and ready for sign-off? • Has the analysis been documented and checked? • Is the fixture cost and procurement schedule consistent with the program schedule and budgets?
The Stage 2 tooling fixture is a built-up structural weldment with pin connections for MC position adjustment. Crane connection point. Structural weight is 3,909 lbs Frame fastened to floor
Flange of MC’s mount to local gussets. Crane connection point. Center element is removable for Type-C to C fit-up check. Local framing added to increase stiffness.

Assembly modeled as Rigid elements from the C.G. to frame mounting Stage 2 Tooling Fixture Analysis Frame: Model consists of CQUAD4 & CTRIA3 plates with bending & membrane stiffness. B.C.s: The bottom frame surfaces are vertically restrained by the floor & in all directions at the anchor points FEA Model for the A-B-C sub-assembly @40 degrees 18,271 lbs
Peak Tresca Stress 14.1 ksi The A-B-C sub-assembly @40 degrees - Tresca stress contours
Peak Tresca Stresses @ the stanchion pin mounting hole perimeters is 14.1 ksi Allowable stress for A36 steel is 24 ksi (2/3rd yield criteria)
Peak Tresca Stress 18.2 ksi @ upper gusset mtg. hole Tresca stress contours for A-B-C @ 20 degree position
Peak displacement on the frame is 0.028” Displacement contours (SRSS) for the A-B-C sub-assembly @ 40 degrees
Stage 2 tooling fixture drawings are complete and ready for release.
Stage 2 Tooling Fixture Cost The estimated cost of the Stage 2 fixture is ~ $16,000, assuming $4 per lb. Ron’s allocated M&S budget for Stage 2 is $54,000. This number contains magnetic alignment tooling components which we now do not have. It also includes money for match drilling of flange holes to an intermediary plate which we may or may not do.
MTM Type-C Support Fixture is available. Can it be used for this or some other assembly application? 8,000 lbs estimated weight, assumes 2” thick plate and a 20° wedge.
Application of MTM Type-C Fixture Structure would be needed to orient fixture for full MCHP assembly. Type-B Type-A Type-B Type-C Type-C Type-C My recommendation is to use the MTM Type-C fixture for checking the Type-C to C fit-up Type-C
Stage 2 assembly is carried out in series, requiring only one fixture. Updated Plan Current Baseline (ECP-50) Ron’s latest schedule that provides adequate FY-07 & 08 budget contingency
It has been proposed to move Stage 5 to the NCSX test cell which would free up space for the earlier assembly stages. NCSX test cell activity MTM Type-C fixture D-Site Assembly Layout
