Because of industrial development, industrial facilities are becoming more complex and diversified. Plant industries are focused on productivity improvement, cost reduction, and product uniformity by simplifying production processes using automated control. Furthermore, plant industries require higher pressures and temperatures to improve energy efficiency. For this reason, the valves used in plants are operated under harsh conditions. Globe valves and gate valves are mainly used for high pressure these days. However, these valves have various problems, including low maintainability and high cost, due to structural problems. Therefore, butterfly and ball valve applications are increasing in industrial plants. This paper suggests a quadruple-offset butterfly valve that is applicable to bi-direction use, and the principle design parameters are suggested. The selected design parameters are an eccentric flange center line and shaft centerline(Offset 1), an eccentric seat centerline and disc shaft centerline(Offset 2), the angle between the flange centerline and seat wedge angle(Offset 3), the angle between the vertical direction of the disc shaft centerline and seat centerline(Offset 4), and the seat engagement angle. To analyze the interaction effect of the design parameters, ANOM and ANOVA were performed with an orthogonal array. The parameters were found to have effects in the following order: Offset 2, Offset 1, engagement angle, Offset 3, and Offset 4. The interaction between the parameters was insignificant.

중소기업 제조공장의 스마트팩토리 수준이 현재에는 기초 수준으로 창고를 관리하기 위해 재고 입출입에 따른 정확한 재고량을 파악하는 시스템이 부족하다. 또한 근로자 수작업과 경험에 의한 생산방식으로 데이터 손실로 정확한 자재를 관리하기 어려운 상황이다. 이를 해결하기 위해 근로자의 재고 파악을 위한 수작업을 최소화하며 자동화를 향상시키기 위해 재고량 자동 수집을 진행한다. 본 논문에서는 IoT기반의 자율이동모듈을 이용한 스마트 창고관리 시스템으로 자율이동모듈이 창고를 이동하면서 재고 보관함의 데이터를 수집한다. 이는 해당 보관함의 자재들 파악하기 위해 카메라 모듈이 비전처리 방식 통해 재고보관함의 네임텍을 인지한다. 인지한 문자화 처리 결과가 일치할 때 센서에 의해 측정된 데이터가 서버로 전달되고 데이터를 처리하여 데이터베이스에 저장한다. 저장된 데이터는 관리자용 웹 기반 모니터링 환경에서 실시간 재고량을 파악할 수 있다. 이를 통해 수작업을 줄이고 자동화된 재고관리시스템의 효과를 기대한다.

In this study, we developed an automated contact-type thickness measurement machine that continuously and precisely measures the thickness of a PCB module product using multi-LVDT sensors. The system contains a measurement part to automatically measure the thickness in real time according to the set conditions with an alignment supply unit and unloading unit to separate OK and NG products. The sensors were calibrated before assembly in the measuring machine, and precision and accuracy performance tests were also performed to reduce uncertainty errors in the measurement machine. In the calibration test, the precision errors of the LVDT sensor were determined to be $1-3{\mu}m$ as 0.1% at the measuring range. A measurement error of 0.8 mm and 1.0 mm thickness test standards were found to be $1{\mu}m$ and $4{\mu}m$, and the standard deviations of two 1.0 mm products were measured as $14{\mu}m$ and $8{\mu}m$, respectively. In the measurement system analysis, the accuracies of test PCB standards were found to be $2{\mu}m$ and $3{\mu}m$, respectively. From the results of gage repeatability and reproducibility (R & R) crossed, we found that the machine is suitable for the measurement and process control in the mass production line as 7.92% of total gage R & R and in seven distinct categories. The maximum operating speed was limited at 13 pcs/min, showing a value good enough to measure.

금속성부품의 자동화 생산라인 상에서 결함검사는 통상 시스템 가격이 합리적이고 고속검사가 가능한 와전류검사(ECT, eddy current testing) 기법이 많이 사용된다. 이러한 금속성 피검사체 가운데 특별히 스플라인 샤프트(spline shaft)의 스플라인 기어부(spline gear)와 같이 표면이 고르지 못한 피검사 대상에 대하여 ECT검사를 적용할 경우 주파수 분포도가 유사하면서 동시에 상대적으로 큰 표면신호로 인해 센서로부터 획득한 원신호와 결함에 의해 발생한 신호를 분리해내기가 어렵다. 이러한 스플라인 기어부의 결함신호 검출을 용이하게 하기 위해서는 주변 잡음신호에서 결함신호만을 구분해낼 수 있는 고차필터의 구현이 필수적이고 동시에 각 생산라인과 피검사체의 상황에 따라 필터의 통과대역을 조절할 수 있어야 한다. 이러한 통과대역 조절이 가능한 고차필터 구현을 위해 디지털 방식 중 하나인 IIR (infinite impulse filter) 필터에 의한 구현방안을 검토하고, 신호검출을 위해 시스템 레벨에서 설계요소들의 최적화를 통해 결함신호검출을 시도하였다.

최근 국제적으로 풍력, 태양광, 파도, 연료전지 등의 친환경 신재생에너지 개발이 활발하다. 특히, 해상에서의 풍력발전단지 개발은 대형화를 통한 단가 절감, 고품질의 풍력자원 활용, 발전기로 인한 소음 피해 최소화를 위해 해안에서 멀리 떨어진 위치에 대규모 부유식으로 건설되는 추세이다. 풍력발전단지의 개발은 해사안전법에 의한 해상교통안전진단제도에 따른 평가가 필요하다. 풍력발전단지의 평가는 해당 수역의 체계적인 개발, 관리, 활용을 위해 선과 면적 개념을 모두 적용하여 수행되어야 하며, 이를 위한 평가 방법과 기준이 개발되어야 한다. 이 연구에서는 해상풍력발전단지처럼 해양 공간을 평가할 수 있는 해상교통조사방법과 평가에 대한 적절한 기준을 수립하고, 이를 시스템적으로 처리할 수 있는 방안에 대해서 연구하였다. 먼저 해상교통조사를 위해 AIS와 레이더를 이용한 이동식 해상교통데이터 수집장치를 설계하였다. 그리고 선과 면적의 개념을 모두 적용한 해상교통 항적도, 밀집도, 경로 분석을 제안하였다. 해상교통밀집도는 Grid-cell의 크기를 조절하여 단위 cell에 대한 공간적, 시간적 점유율을 구분하고 해상교통 경로 분석은 해상을 통항로 또는 작업 공간으로 사용할 때를 구분하여 선박의 이동 패턴을 평가할 수 있도록 제안하였다. 최종적으로 시스템적인 해상교통데이터의 수집과 평가가 가능한 해상교통안전평가솔루션의 개념설계를 수행하였다. 이는 자동적인 해상교통데이터의 수집 저장 분류를 통해, 데이터 누락이나 오표기와 같은 인적 오류를 최소화하고 해상 공간의 용도에 따라 선과 면적 개념을 반영하여 분석함으로써 신뢰성 있는 해상 공간의 평가가 가능하게 한다.

A review was undertaken to obtain information on the range of beak-trimming methods available or under development. Beak-trimming of commercial layer replacement pullets is a common yet critical management tool that can affect the performance for the life of the flock. The most obvious advantage of beak-trimming is a reduction in cannibalism although the extent of the reduction in cannibalism depends on the strain, season, and type of housing, flock health and other factors. Beak-trimming also improves feed conversion by reducing food wastage. A further advantage of beak-trimming is a reduction in the chronic stress associated with dominance interactions in the flock. Beak-trimming of birds at 7-10 days is favoured by Industry but research over last 10 years has shown that beak-trimming at day-old causes the least stress on birds and efforts are needed to encourage Industry to adopt the practice of beak-trimming birds at day-old. Proper beak-trimming can result in greatly improved layer performance but improper beak-trimming can ruin an other wise good flock of hens. Re-trimming is practiced in most flocks, although there are some flocks that only need one trimming. Given the continuing welfare scrutiny of using a hot blade to cut the beak, attempts have been made to develop more welfare friendly methods of beak-trimming. Despite the developments in design of hot blade beak-trimmers the process has remained largely unchanged. That is, a red-hot blade cuts and cauterises the beak. The variables in the process are blade temperature, cauterisation time, operator ability, severity of trimming, age of trimming, strain of bird and beak length. This method of beak-trimming is still overwhelmingly favoured in Industry and there appears to be no other alternative procedures that are more effective. Sharp secateurs have been used trim the upper beak of both layers and turkeys. Bleeding from the upper mandible ceases shortly after the operation, and despite the regrowth of the beak a reduction of cannibalism has been reported. Very few differences have been noted between behaviour and production of the hot blade and cold blade cut chickens. This method has not been used on a large scale in Industry. There are anecdotal reports of cannibalism outbreaks in birds with regrown beaks. A robotic beak-trimming machine was developed in France, which permitted simultaneous, automated beak-trimming and vaccination of day-old chicks of up to 4,500 chickens per hour. Use of the machine was not successful because if the chicks were not loaded correctly they could drop off the line, receive excessive beak-trimming or very light trimming. Robotic beak-trimming was not effective if there was a variation in the weight or size of chickens. Capsaicin can cause degeneration of sensory nerves in mammals and decreases the rate of beak regrowth by its action on the sensory nerves. Capsaicin is a cheap, non-toxic substance that can be readily applied at the time of less severe beak-trimming. It suffers the disadvantage of causing an extreme burning sensation in operators who come in contact with the substance during its application to the bird. Methods of applying the substance to minimise the risk to operators of coming in contact with capsaicin need to be explored. A method was reported which cuts the beaks with a laser beam in day-old chickens. No details were provided on the type of laser used, or the severity of beak-trimming, but by 16 weeks the beaks of laser trimmed birds resembled the untrimmed beaks, but without the bill tip. Feather pecking and cannibalism during the laying period were highest among the laser trimmed hens. Currently laser machines are available that are transportable and research to investigate the effectiveness of beak-trimming using ablasive and coagulative lasers used in human medicine should be explored. Liquid nitrogen was used to declaw emu toes but was not effective. There was regrowth of the claws and the time and cost involved in the procedure limit the potential of using this process to beak-trim birds.
