Armored Vehicle Launch Bridge(AVLB) • Goal of Project: • Manufacture composite panels for an AVLB
What is an AVLB? • Armored Vehicle Launch Bridge • A folding bridge that is attached to a 2-man armored carrier.
AVLB Uses • Launches a bridge that troops, tanks, and army vehicles can use to pass over a small river or creek. • Facilitates transport of troops, tanks, and materials to a location in a time of battle.
Where is the AVLB Used? • The AVLB is used mostly in Europe, as many small lakes and rivers interfere with army transports and/or battle plans. • Can be used in any location where a small river needs to be crossed.
Manufacturing Aspects / Approach • Materials: • List, BOM • Techniques • specify necessary steps • Flow diagram • specify additional tooling and/material
Possible Problems & other consideration • The depression of the panel skin. • Equal pressure during consolidation • Mandrel extraction • Cost and process constraints
Important Mill • Process for Manufacturing • Identify all equipment used in manufacturing steps • Purpose of use • Equipment Specs.
