공작기계의 가공 정밀도에 영향을 주는 주요 요인은 정적특성(Static behavior), 동적특성(Dynamic behavior), 그리고 열적특성(Thermal behavior)에 있다는 것은 이미 언급한 바 있다. 열적영향으로 인한 정밀도를 안정시키는 완전한 해결책은 아직 발견되지 못하고 있다. 그 이유는 공작기계 자체뿐만 아니라 부품들이 복잡하고 공작기계의 내부, 기계와 주위환경사이에 복잡한 열적상호작용이 존재하고 있기 때문이다. 그럼에도 불구하고 공작기계에는 더욱 높은 생산능력과 가공정도에 대한 요구가 점점 커지고 있다. 과거 40년 간에 걸쳐 공작기계의 열적거동에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되어 왔지만 일반적으로 적용하여 만족할 만한 열적 불안정의 해결책은 아직 나오지 않고 있으며 단지 여러가지의 기계구성요소, 즉 Spindle, Column이나 Bed와 같은 본체의 구조나 Table이나 Slide에 대해서 열적 최적화를 얻는 노력이 집중적으로 행해지고 있다. 공작기계 의 열변형에 대한 연구는 1950년대부터 시작되었으며, 선반이나 연삭기의 열변형 측정기술과 해당하는 설계변경 방법 그리고 냉각을 함으로서 열적 불안정을 극복시키는 방법이 주요 연구과제였으나 1960년대 후반에는 구성 요소의 온도분포와 열의 흐름에 관한 수학적 모델을 한들어 해석적 수법올 열적 거동의 연구가 행하여졌었다.

An experimental method to identify the rigid properties (mass, moment of inertia, center of mass) of mounted structures is presented. A direct system identification method is developed and applied to identify the mass, damping and stiffness martix directly from the translational response of vibration testing. Conventional method is sensitive to noise since it needs artificial rotational response of temporary center of mass which is made by the linear transformation of translational response. A presented method needs only the translational response, and it is robuster to noise than conventional method. Several experimental and numerical implementations show the presented method is effective.

Now a days, securing skilled workers is very difficult due to the hardworking environment. This situation will be getting worse in the future and also that makes the dies/molds industries difficult. In this research, the automatic fone polishing system which can be directly attached to the spindle of CNC machine is proposed and analyzed. The system is also controlled by the NC progra data created by CAD/CAM system. The usefulness and effectiveness of the developed system are verified more detail through some comparisons between automatic and manual polishing experiments. The experiments show that the automatic polishing is a more useful and effective process than manual one. For the application, this system can be easily used for the polishing process in the area of any fine surface.

The assemblability was determined by the structure of product and the relationship between composing parts and machining parts. In this paper, the bolt was divided into bolt-head, -shaft, -thread and -end. For the better assemblability in bolting process, the geometric and technological characteristics of bolts in terms of pre- and in-assembly process were analyzed. And this paper presents assemblability evaluation for bolt feature design alternatives. For this evaluation system, we considered systematically eight factors for assemblability, but introduced two factores for the stability of laying and for the handlability of parts. And AutoCAC system is interfaced with the evaluation system written in C-language.

Conventional measurement methods for non-destructive testing(NDT) in nuclear power plants and other industrial plants have been performed as the methods of contact with objects to be inspect, but those methods have been taken relatively much time to be inspected. Holographic interferometry which is a non-contact optical measurement method using a coherent light can overcome these demerit, and also has an advantage that the quantitative measurement of small deformation for large areas can be accomplished at a time with high precision. In this paper the comparisons of the experimental results form holographic interferometry with those from the finite element method(FEM) and the analytical solutions of the elastic equation are discussed.

The cam is used to a main component in a variety of automatic machines and instruments. To meet the demand of a complicated operation and of reducing weight for automatic machine, Curve Blending Technology, in which each of the basic curves suitable for individual interval is connected, is used for the cam design. In the curve blending, it is necessary to select appropriate elementary curve for each interval and to confirm the dynamic continuity at connecting points between adjoining elementary curves. This paper represented the elementary curve selection method to select an appropriate curve for each interval, and executed computation for the follower displacement and angular displacement of each interval. The paper made an analysis and examine closely for elementary curves to synthesizing curve blending, and it performed dynamic conditions clearly at every points on the cam motions. Therefore the curve blending technology presented by the paper turned into easier work.

This paper presents monitoring and control system to decrease non-production time such as air grinding and partial contact in cylindrical plunge grindings. The 4-stage model of the plunge grinding process is proposed according to the state of contact between grinding wheel and workpiece; air grinding, partial contact, entire contact and spark out. Experimentally it is seen that the AE sensor and ultrasonic sensor are very effective to detect the grinding states. Monitoring and control algorithm using recognized grinding process was introduced and a experiment were conducted to verify the developed system.

The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the grade of WA vitrified and resinoid bond grinding wheels by the sue of AE measuring system. When the manufactured 48 kinds of specimens were scratched by the method of OKOSHI'S grade test, the relationship between the amount of bit scratch depth of grinding wheel specimens and the character- istics of AE signals, and the relationship of AE counts and grade were considered as fololws; (1) The higher the grades are AE cumlulative event counts N and AE event count rate n, the smaller the values tend to be. But A $E_{rms}$is in reverse. (2) In the case of same grade, the smaller the grain size is, the higher the value of AE cumulative event counts N and A $E_{rms}$is results of comparison and observation. The grinding wheel with lower elasticity and with higher percentage of pore detected higher value of AE cumula- tive event counts N than with higher elasticity and lower percentage of pore. But A $E_{rms}$ is in reverse. (3) AE cumulative event counts N and bit scratch depth h have normally one to one correspondence. (4) It can be expected that quantitative evaluations of grade by using AE have been carried out by the wave observation of AE signal in line with the relationship between load speed of bit and AE cumulative event counts N & AE event count rate n.' AE event count rate n.ate n.

Bead shape in high frequency electric resistance (HER) pipe welding gives useful information on judging current welding conditon. In most welding process, heat input is controlled by skilled operators observing color and shape of bead. In this paper, a visual monitoring system is designed to observe bead shape in HERW pipe welding process by using structured light beam and a C.I.D(Charge injection device) camera. To avoid some difficul- ties arising in extracting stable features of stripe pattern and classifying the extracted features, Kohonen neural network is used to classify such bead shapes. The experimental results show accurate classification performance of the proposed method.

Recently the trends toward reduction in size of industrial products have increased the application of micro drilling. But micro drilling has still much difficulty so that the needs for active control which give adaptation to controller are expanding. In this paper initial cutting condition was determined for some sorkpieces by experiment and GA-based Fuzzy controller was devised by genetic algorithms and fuzzy inference. The fuzzy inference has been applied to the various prob- lems. However the determination of the membership function is one of the difficult problem. So we introduce a genetic algorithms and propose a self-tuning method of fuzzy membership function. Based on this intelligent control, automation of micro drilling was carried out like the cutting process of skilled machinist.

Mathematical models of industrial robots or manipulators are composed of highly nonlinear equations with nonlinear couplings between the variables of motions. These nonlin- earities were not considered important in the first stage that the working speed of the manipulator was not so fast, but the effect of nonlinear forces has become serious, as the working speed has been increased. So more improvement of performance cannot be expected by the control of manipulator using approximate linearization. As an approach for solving these problems, there is a method that eliminates nonlinear theory, which makes possible cecoupling of coupling terms and arbitrary arranging of poles is briefly introduced in this study. When the theory is applied to design the control law, its feasibility is examined whether the reasonable control results are obtained by simulating position, velocity, torque and tracing trajectory. The relations between the coefficients of the linearized differential equations and the maximum error and torque for the prescribed trajectory are also examined. Finally, the method for selecting the values for getting the most rapid and precise response within maximum torque of each drive is suggested in the choice of coefficients of characteristic equations which are obtained as a result of the control.

부품가공에 있어서 생산성향상을 위하여 버제거를 위한 고도의 기술이 더욱 중요하게 되었다. 특히 CIM 체제에서는 버제거의 자동화를 위하여 가공중에 발생하는 버형성과 파단현상을 정량적으로 예측할 필요성이 더욱 커졌다. 이미 연구된 2차원절삭에서의 버형성 모델을 실제적인 3차원절삭에 적용하기 위하여 기존의 모델을 수정하는 작업이 이루어졌다. 3차원 절삭모델로는 절삭인선에 수직한 면에서의 칩과 공구의 상대운동에 의해서 결정된다고 하는 Rubenstein의 가정이 사용되었다. 본연구에서 다루에되는 롤오버(roll-over) 버는 항상 공구진행방향으로 발생하기 때문에 3차원절삭에서의 버형성을 공구진행방향의 평면내에서의 2차원 절삭의 집합 으로 가정하였다. 공구의 기울림각(inclination angle)이 커질수록 버형성의 크기나 파단면의 크기가 감소하였다. 두종류의 파단이 버형성중에 관찰되었다. 하나는 가공물 끝면에 평행하게 파단면이 발생하였으며 다른 하나는 이에대하여 기울어진 파단이 일어났다. 가공물 끝면에 평행한 경우는 수정된 모델로부터 등가초기공구위치( equivalent initial tool distance)로부터 예측이 가능하며 기울어진 경우는 이결과와 공구의 기울림각으로부터 파단위치를 예측할 수 있다.

Copper magnetron anode of a microsave-over consists of an cylindrical outer-tube and various inner-vanes. The magnetron anode is produced by the complex processes; vane blanking, pipe cutting and silver-alloy brazing of vanes. Recently, the backward extrusion process for forming vanes has been developed to avoid the complex procedures. The developed process is analyzed by using upper-bound elemental technique (UBET). In the UBET analysis, the upper-bound load, the configuration and the vane-height of final extruded product are determined by minimizing the roral power consumption with repect to chosen parameters. To verify theoretical analysis, experiments have been carried out with pure plasticine billets at room temperature, using different web-thickness and number of vanes. The theoretical predictions both for forming load and vane-height are in reasonable agreement with the experimental results.

The unbalance response analysis is one of the essential area in the forced vibration analysis of rotor-bearing systems. Local bearing parameters in rotor-bearing systems are the major sources which give rise to a difficulty in unbalance response computation due to the complicated dynamic properties such as rotational speed dependency and anisotropy. In the present paper, an efficient method for unbalance responses is proposed so as to easily take into account bearing parameters in computation. An exact matrix condensation procedure is proposed which enables the present method to compute unbalance responses by dealing with condensed, small matrices. The proposed method causes no errors even though the computation procedure is based on the small matrices condensed from the full matrices. The present method is illustrated through a numerical example and compared with the conventional method.

The object of this study is to achieve a gteater understanding of meterial removal process and its mechanism. In this study, some applications of finite element techniques are applied to analyze the chip formation and cutting heat generation mechanism of metal cutting. To know the effect of cutting parameters, simulations employed some independent cutting variables change, such as constitutive deformation laws of workpiece and tool material, frictional coefficients and tool-chip contact interfaces, cutting speed, tool rake angles, depth of cut and this simulations also include large elastic-plastic defor- mation, adiabetic thermal analysis. Under a usual plane strain assumption, quasi-static, thermal-mechanical coupling analysis generate detailed informations about chip formation process and cutting heat generation mechanism Some cutting parameters are affected to cutting force, plastic deformation of chip, shear plane angle, chip thickness and tool-chip contact length and reaction force on tool, cutting temperature and thermal behavior. Several aspects of the metal cutting process predicted by the finite element analysis provide information about tool shape design and optimal cutting conditions.

This paper presents a bin picking method using a slit beam laser in which a robot recognizes all of the unoccluded objects from the top of jumbled objects, and picks them up one by one. Once those unoccluded objects are removed, newly developed unoccluded objects underneath are recognized and the same process is continued until the bin gets empty. To recognize unoccluded objects, a new algotithm to link edges on slices which are generated by the orthogonally mounted laser on the xy table is proposed. The edges on slices are partitioned and classified using convex and concave function with a distance parameter. The edge types on the neighborhood slices are compared, then the hamming distances among identical kinds of edges are extracted as the features of fuzzy membership function. The sugeno fuzzy integration about features is used to determine linked edges. Finally, the pick-up sequence based on MaxMin theory is determined to cause minimal disturbance to the pile. This proposed method may provide a solution to the automation of part handling in manufacturing environments such as in punch press operation or part assembly.

This paper experimentally demonstrates the feasibility of using shape memory alloy(SMA) actuators in controlling structural vibrations of a flexible cantilevered beam. The dynamic characteristics of the SMA actuator are identified and integrated with the beam dynamics. Three types of control schemes; constant amplitude controller(CAC), proportional amplitude controller (PAC) and sliding mode controller(SMC) are designed. The CAC and PAC are determined on the basis of physical phenomenon of the SMA actuator, while teh SMC is formulated in a mathematical manner. The proposed controllers are implemented and evaluated at various operating condirions by investigating the control level of suppression in transient vibration.
