Automatic tool changer(ATC) is typically provided to a machine tool to improve the efficiency of the machine tool significantly by saving time in moving, switching, installing and storing tools as well as adjusting a calibrating the machine tool. In this study, technical trend of machine tools automatic tool changer are analyzed by patent mapping. And future development direction of automatic tool changer has suggested. The analysis is carried out by using problem solution map for the applied patent during 2000 and 2010 in USA, Japan, Europe and Korea.

The objective of this study is to develop an automatic object changer unit to improve changing process problems existing in the conventional horizontal machining center. In order to perform this objective, an upward and downward traverse unit was designed. This unit consists of a motor, reducer, chain and sprocket wheel, and an upper and lower base. This automatic object changer unit performs a sliding contact motion in a purpose built and designed frame. Constraint conditions for the upward and downward traverse unit were first designed. Then, an operation mechanism was designed and introduced as the sum of the kinetic energy for the sprocket wheel and the upper and lower base and which was based on the moment of inertia, which is the kinetic energy of the converted upward and downward traverse unit in the side of the reducer. The paper covers the design of th e Automatic Pallet Changer for th e machining center.

To enhance machining efficiency, tool exchange time have to be reduced. Most automatic tool changer is made up of compound cam and motor. it is not easy to design and manufacture compound cam, and it has no flexibility. But if servo motor is used, it is easy to changer is developed with servo motor, clutch, ball-screw and spline nut. Experimental results show that automatic tool changer designed with servo motor have good faculties.

This study is concerned about the development of tower type automatic tool changer. The tower type automatic tool changer is developed to reduce stand-by time by shortening tool change time. The developed system can store more number of tools in small space. A structural analysis for the machine is carried out to check the machine design using commercial software, CATIA V5. In the result of structural analysis, the safety of the developed system is confirmed.

In this study, we developed an automatic module changer for agricultural implements for using in unmanned agricultural robots. An automatic module changer is attached by lowering from the top to bottom of the implements and fixing the four fastener bars attached to the implements in combination. The lift function was implemented using seesaw-type structures to keep the engagement point constant when the automatic module changer climbs and descends, and the switching function of the automatic module changer was implemented using the link device in the cam structure. We developed an algorithm to check the presence of attachment and opening/closing of the workpiece using limit switches and verified the performance through combination assessment and weight lift test to assess whether the combination was within the error range.

Change of supply voltage, customer load, output of distributed generation, etc cause voltage change in distribution system. OLTC and SVR are usually used to supply normal voltage at customer. But usage of these devices is inefficient and uneconomical in certain circumstances. To solve this problem, new pole transformer which has automatic tap changer is developed. The transformer changes tap when voltage changes. And it has latch switch and reactor for supplying power without outage. To verify normal operation of tap changer, test is conducted. SVR and 50kVA load is used for test.

Recently, many studies have been undergoing to reduce a working time in a field of machine tool. There are two ways of reducing a working time; to reduce an actual working time by heighten a speed of spindle and to reduce a stand-by time by shortening a tool exchanging time. ATC(Automatic Tool changer) belongs to the latter case. Fixed address type ATC that is being developed ill this study can store more number of tool in small space than magazine transfer type ATC relatively as well as shorten tool exchanging time. In this study, a simplified equivalent model of finite element method in order to analyze structure of fixed address type ATC.

Micromanufacturing is a useful system for reducing energy consumption. For micromanufacturing, tool clamping and workpiece clamping are important components to realize the machining process. Therefore, a shape memory alloy (SMA) ring type tool holder is developed. In addition, this holder needs cooling and heating processes to execute the tool clamping process. This study suggests a cooling/heating device based on peltier elements. The device will be applied to the heating/cooling process of an automatic tool changer (ATC) for the SMA tool holder. This study introduces the configuration and operating principle of the proposed ATC system. The description and prototype evaluation of this system were given. Plastic bolt and aluminum block were selected to enhance the cooling performance, and the installed tool was changed in 17 s during the experiments.
