다품종 소량생산이 보편화 되면서 하나의 생산라인에서 여러 종류의 제품을 교대로 생산하는 혼류생산방식이 보편화 되었다. 하지만 흐름라인 방식의 혼류생산에서는 필연적으로 작업장 간의 공정시간 불균형이 존재한다. 따라서 이러한 공정불균형에 의한 대기의 낭비를 최소화하기 위하여 기존의 흐름생산방식에서 셀생산방식으로 전환하는 시도가 빈번하게 발생한다. 본 논문에서는 굴삭기 부품을 생산하는 혼류흐름라인 방식의 자동화 로봇 용접라인을 FMC 개념의 직선형 셀방식으로 전환하는 과정에서 타당성 검토를 위해 시뮬레이션을 수행한 사례연구 결과를 소개한다. 분석결과 26.7%의 생산량 증가와 55% 이상의 리드타임 감소효과가 예상되었다. 또한 향후 제품 생산비율의 변화에 따른 민감도분석을 수행하였다.

The extremely strong competition among the world automobile industries has introduced the concept of PLM in the total production activities, one of whose major components is VM(Virtual Manufacturing). If the production lines are equipped with robots, the application of OLP in the virtual space is fully mature. However, in the point of the investment's and the maintenance's view, there are always some activities, which can not be automated: for example, typically the manual welding for prefixing in the automobile body shop and the material loading. Process planning for these activities, therefore, are decided mainly by experiences, which caused many repeated rework of the processes and the inconvenience of the workers, and resulted consequently in the reduction of the productivity and the safety of the workers. In this paper, the optimal dimension of the welding gun and its handle position and the optimal working path is simulated and decided by use of DELIMN/IGRIP and DELMIA/Ergo and the working area modelized in the virtual workcell of DELMIA.

Airtight containers have been widely used in many industries and household. They need a packing for sealing between the inside and outside. Previous packing materials have some drawbacks like stench, stickiness, and difficulty of applying to automated manufacturing systems. So, a new packing material which is harmless and suitable for automation is needed. This study performed a hot plate welding process of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) as the packing material. The hot plate welding process included a phase change process of solidification and melting. The porosity-enthalpy method was adopted in order to simulate phase change problems. The TPE showed non-Newtonian fluid characteristics during the melting process. Since properties of SEBS are not well-defined, we established TPE properties by observing the melting behavior of TPE. In order to find an optimized condition, a parametric study including packing thickness, shapes, hot plate temperature, and thermal resistance, was conducted.

The surface of AC8A Ah alloy was modified by adding the Cu powder using a Plasma Transferred Arc (PTA) welding process. Under the optimum fabricating conditions, the modified surface of AC8A Ah alloy was observed to possess the sound microstructure with a minimum porosity. Hardness and wear resistance properties of the as-fabricated alloy were compared with those of the 76 heat-treated one. In case of the as-fabricated alloy, the hardness of the modified layer was twice that of the matrix region. Although significant increase in the hardness of the matrix region was observed after T6 heat treatment, the hardness of the modified layer was not observed to change. The wear resistance of the modified layer was significantly increased compared to that of the matrix region. The microstructure of a weld zone and the matrix region were investigated using the optical microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM), electron probe microanalysis (EPMA), and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The primary and eutectic silicon in the weld zone were finer and more curved than in the matrix region, while some precipitates has had been found therein. According to the TEM observation, the predominant precipitate present in the weld zone was the $\theta$'phase, which is precipitated during cooling by rapid solidification in PTA welding process. Improvement of hardness and wear properties in the weld zone in the as-fabricated condition can be explained based on the presence of $\theta$’precipitates and fine primary and eutectic silicon distribution.

The doctor blade is a core part of a laser printer and directly influences the printing quality. The main specifications for doctor blades ate for them to be precise and durable. It is necessary to study an automatic production system for doctor blades in order to obtain high-efficient manufacturing processes. In this paper, the technology and the design of the automatic production line has for manufacturing doctor blades has been researched. The automated manufacturing process consists of five steps, which are the supplying of raw material, shearing, bending, bracket supplying, and the laser-spot welding process. The proposed automatic manufacturing system allowed for faster and more reliable production of doctor blades.

CO2 laser had enabled accurate and effective cutting. But its application has been limited to thin and small parts. Development of a high power oscillator and oscillator built-in cutting machine have realized cutting of thick and large steel parts. This machine brings also possibility of fully automated cutting systems to practical steel parts such as for construction machinery.

최근 해양, 석유화학 플랜트 등에서는 내마모, 내식성, 내열성이 요구되는 초내열 합금이 기본적인 구조재료로 많이 사용되고 있다. 하지만 고가의 초내열 합금 소재로 밸브를 제작할 때 원가 상승과 가격 경쟁력 저하의 원인이 되고 있다. 이에 유체에 흐르는 특정부위만 육성 용접하는 기술이 효과적인 방법으로 사용되고 있다. 하지만 기존의 볼 육성용접의 경우 사람이 직접 수동으로 작업을 진행하기 때문에 많은 시간이 소요되고 정확한 용접하기 어렵다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 볼 밸브용 볼 육성용접을 균일하게 할 수 있는 로봇자동화 시스템을 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 용접토치를 장착한 용접용 로봇 6축, 포지셔너 회전을 위한 부가 2축, 제어장치 및 로봇경로는 오프라인 프로그램으로 구성되어 있다. CAD 도면 데이터를 오프라인 프로그램에 입력하여 로봇 교시점과 로봇 구동 소스를 얻을 수 있도록 하였고, 볼 육성용접 궤적은 Matlab을 통해 구현하였다. OLP 시스템을 통해 용접층 두께가 균일하게 얻으므로 용가재의 소모량을 약 20% 절약할 수 있었고, 모재와 용접봉 사이의 아크길이를 일정하게 유지하여 육성용접 불량율을 약 50% 정도 감소시켜 품질을 확보하였다. OLP를 활용한 육성용접 자동화 시스템을 통해 작업소요시간이 88시간에서 41시간으로 단축되어 생산성이 2.58배 향상 되었다.

For the last couple of decades many studies have been carried out to find out solutions to improve the effectiveness and productivity of the plate forming process. The practical way for the automation of the plate forming process has not been, however, developed yet. Since the characteristics of heating machines may be different form each other, it is necessary to investigate the thermal deformation characteristics of the heating machine to be used in the automation system. And their characteristics may be updated as new information about thermal deformation by heating is accumulated. In this paper, data base system has been constructed based on the results of experiments and numerical analyses, which will be used in deriving the deformation estimation formula. The computer code which can automatically derive the deformation estimation formula has been also developed. This paper also illustrates how the formula is updated as experimental data are added. From the present findings, it can be said that the automatic deriving procedure may be important in the automated plate forming system since the heating line information to be generated must be directly influenced by the deformation estimation formula.

The non-destructive examinations for Yonggwang unit 6 was conducted in four different fields, these are 1)all non-destructive inspections for components, piping weldments and structures, 2)automated ultrasonic inspection for pressure vessels weldments. As the results, there were no big indications, and all indications detected during inspection were evaluated as the metallurgical and geometrical non-reinvent indications form weldments. Especially for the weldment of pipes, PD(Performance Demonstration) was applied as a UT inspection method according to 1995 edition of ASME code Sex. XI, this resulted in improvement of the reliability of UT inspection.
