본 논문은 생산자동화 운동이 고조되어가고 있는 현 한국제조산업에서 자동화운동에 대한 올바른 이해와 필요성을 강조하고 선진국의 자동화기술에 단시일내에 효율적으로 접근할 수 있는 추진 대책 및 준비사항을 서술함을 목적으로 한다. 한국의 제조업은 일본, 미국 등 서방국가의 자동화 수준에는 기술적이나 규모면에서 크게 뒤지고 있다. 그러나 여러 서방국가들이나 일본이 겪은 과오와 시행착오를 면밀히 조사 분석함으로써 그들이 겪은 과오와 시행착오를 미연에 예방하여 급속도로 그들의 자동화기술수준에 접근 할 수 있는 유리한 입장에 서 있다. 본문에서는 자동화의 필요성, 미래의 제조분야에서의 영향, 그리고 한 국적인 자동화 추진대책에 대하여 간단히 서술하려 한다.

제품제조에 있어 측정의 중요성과 그 경제적 특성에 비추어 주요 산업의 측정관련 투자실태를 파악하고 투자에 따른 그 기여도를 면밀히 분석 한다는 것은 매우 큰 의미를 갖는다. 그 의미의 하나는 측정표준을 공급하고 있는 국가표준기관의 업무수행에 따른 파급효과를 측정하여 향후 국가표준체계의 확립에 필요한 공급기능의 수급자원의 결정에 주요 자료로 기대되고 있다. 그리고 제품의 품질향상을 위한 측정관리의 효율화운동이 점차 확산됨으로써 개별 기업의 생산성 증대와 불량률 감소로 인한 원가절감으로 국산제품의 가격경쟁력의 우위를 기대할 수 있다. 이러한 중요성에 부응하기 위해서는 국가표준의 준용에 따른 측정표준과 관련된 측정투자의 비용과 그 수익성에 관하여 정확한 경제성의 연구 분석이 필요하다. 국가표준의 확립이라는 국가적 과제를 성공적으로 수행하기 위해서는 국가표준의 확립 에 따른 경제성을 분석하여야 한다. 측정투자에 대한 효과분석을 통하여 측정표준에 관한 중요성을 알게 될 것이다. 이러한 의미에서 본 연구는 측정표준을 공급받고 있는 산업체를 대상으로 그 효과를 분석하고 측정의 중요성을 파악하여 일반 산업체에 주지하며 개별 업체의 이익과 국가경제의 부를 창출함으로써 국가표준의 확립효과를 크게 기대하게 될 것이다.

By use of the machining center, step-feed drilling was operated under the variety of conditions as to materials, tools and cutting conditions. Based on this study the following conclusions can be drawn : 1) The cutting force can be diminished by utilizing the step-feed working; specially the most effective was it for the brass among the carbon steel, the brass, and the cast iron. 2) Tool life can be enlarged more than double when three-step-feed working is used. 3) For the constant cutting-depth(30mm), the most optimal number of stepping is 3.

The positioning accuracy of robots depends upon a forward kinematics which relates the joint variables to the orientation and position of the robot extremity in the absolute coordinate system. The relationship between two connective joint coordi- nates of a robot, which is the basis of the kinematics, is defined by 4 Denavit-Hartenberg parameters. But manufacturing errors in machining and assembly process of robots lead to disctrepancies between the design parameters and the physical structure. Thus, improving the positioning accuracy of robots reguires the identification of the actual link parameters of each robot. In this study, the least-squares method is used to calibrate the link parameters and off-line parameter calibration software is developed. Computer simulation is done to study the dependence of the calibration performance upon the DOF of the robot and number of acquired data set used in the least-squares method. 3 DOF Robot/Controller and specially designed 3D coordinate measurer is made and experiment is carried out to verify the theoretical and computational analysis.

The purpose of test fixture is to mechanically couple energy from a shaker into a test specimen. And then it is necessary to design a fixture of shich the fundamental natural frequency is over than one half times as high as the highest frequency of interest. But the dynamic behavior of vibration test fixture is usually different from, often far different from, what has been calculated. In this paper, the optimal dimensionless frequency parameter, ${lambda}$'s, are calculated from the test results of a various and complex shaped fixtures.

An automated classification and coding system for structure of injection mold is developed based on the statistical analysis and the critical evaluation of the results for the sample survey of 200 assembly drawings of injection mold. The proposed system is a mixed code system consisting of 15 digits and each digit consists of 10 numerical codes. An interactive computer program is developed by using TURBO PASCAL on IBM PC/AT compatible system. A case study is discussed to show the procedure and the function of the system. The results for applications of the system to real problems show that the system works well and is useful for design, manufacturing and management of injection mold.

The surface rolling for cylindrical surface of a grey cast iron was carried out using a lathe with a simple newly-designed tool system. A surface rolling tool used was steel ball whose diameter was 3/8 inch (9.525mm) The effects of rolling feeds and number of rolling on surface rolling were investigated. The contact pressure between ball and workpiece which was considered as Hertz's contact problem was examined and the track of motion of a ball on the cylindrical surface of a work- piece was measured according to the rolling feed. The results obtained were as follows; 1. The roughness of the machined surface which was originally 5.3 .approx. 28 umRz decreased to 1.2 .approx. 5 umRz according to rolling feeds and numbers of rolling. 2. The hardness increased from Hv 260 to Hv 290 .approx. 310 through 2 .approx. 4 rollings according to the roughness of machined surfaces. 3. The reduction of diameter was found to be proportional to the variations of roughness of previous machined surfaces. About 60% to 90% of reduction in diameter was made during the first rolling process. 4. An equation relating the reduction of diameter and the variation of surface roughness after surface rolling was presented using a geometric surface model. 5. An equation for the calculation of dynamic contact area between pressure ball and workpiece according to the rolling feed was presented.

Applicability of tearing modulus based on J-integral proposed by Paris et al is investigated using compact tension specimens of strutural alloy steel (SCM4). Both general fracture test and instability fracture test are performed. The applied tearing modulus, ( $T_{j}$)app estimated from the real load vs. crack growth curve measured from experiments are compared with that estimated from the limit load vs. crack growth curve. The results are : (1) the $T_{j}$parameter could be applied to predict crack growth instability : (2) The use of ( $T_{j}$)app estimated from the load vs. crack growth curve, proposed in this study could be well predicted crack growth instability instead of that estimated form the limit load vs. crack growth curve.e.

In this study, J-integral values obtained by various methods, i.e, R-Curve, Unloading Compliance, Strectched Zone Width [SZW], and Acoustic Emission [AE] methods are investigated. Elasto-plastic fracture toughness [$J_IC$] estimations by R-curve method are overestimated than those by SZW method, and those by unloading compliance method is around middle value of them. And the difference between them is little. The $J_IC$ value by AE method was almost agreed with that by SZW, and then proved to be useful. Crack propagation mechanism on fractography is a stable ductile fracture. For the identification of ductile fracture, both fractography analysis and AE method were applied to estimate the characteristics more precisely.

The frequency equation and numerical process of natural frequencies for several boundary conditions of L-type folded plate given to the different thickness and lenth are derived by using Rayleigh-Ritz method in this study. Those natural frequencies are attaind by choosing the proper eigenfunction for boundary conditions of x-direction and y-direfction beams, by considering the convergence of numerical results.

This paper discusses the system layout of flexible manufacturing system. A definition of flexible manufacturing system has not been necessarily classified yet. An understanding, and an objective of its application are different in a variety of industries. It could be treated as the system adopting flexble-Automation and FMS has been improving as a form of parts maching system. It was thought that the problems of machining function and transfer function were important. This paper introduces parts family and machine groups to increase machining function and transfer function. Parts family and machine tool groups were made up by means of multidimensional dizitizing analysis. A new software algorithm for forming parts family and machine groups has been proposed. Flexible manufacturing system was layout according to the FMS transfer function classification.
