The assembly line and procedures additionally are configured to allow for the rapid inspection and adjustment of: length of lines, length of detonating cord, spacing of grenades, amount of twist in the lines and detonating cord, pressure feed to the pneumatic clamping apparatus, the clamping forces exerted on the clamped lines/clamps/grenades, the alignment of the clamps and buckles with the grenades, the alignment and gap condition of the detonating cords and boosters with respect to the connector elements, and the spacing and number of grenades in the line charge. The assembly line and procedures also eliminate the hazards of explosive spark and static electricity.
