This Paper Proposes the test pieces of X, Y and Z axes to compensate the shape distortion of Selective Laser Sintering(SLS) parts resulting from the phase change during the sintering process. In no case of the proposed compensation test pieces of X, Y axes the accurate rates of shrinkage can be measured with the reduction of curling which is obtained from adjustment of build orientation and the formula used to get scale factors are proposed with the shrinkage rates of them. The scale factors of X, Y and Z axes are generated by building up proposed compensation test pieces. The generated scale iactors are required to satisfy the dimensional accuracy even if there are changes of the build position and the size of SLS parts in the build chamber. For this reason, it is proposed that the build positions and the size be considered to be noise factors against the compensation test pieces and a method is also proposed that scale factors be selected to robustly maintain the dimensional accuracy of SLS parts under the actual operating conditions with the application of the Taguchi Method.

In this paper, an integrated automation system of pattern design and $CO_2$ laser cutting for diving suits is presented. Pattern design includes grading which creates a full-size range from a base pattern. Tool path for laser cutting from the patterns is generated in G-code format. $CO_2$ Laser cutting machine is developed to help cut the patterns with accuracy and speed. Aluminum profiles, ball screws, and stepping motors are engaged into the machine as frame structure, transfer unit, and driving devices respectively. The developed system is tested in dry suit cutting, convincing it can be readily introduced in driving suits manufacturing with respect to cost and efficiency.

This work forcus on the development of gas sensor that measure the concentrations of exhaust gas using diode laser, Each diode laser for exhaust gas measurement is set to work at near-IR using both DA and WMS methods. Also use of fiber-coupled optical elements makes such a sensor rugged and easy to align. The results showed that gas concentrations of $O_2$, CO, $CO_2$, NO are accurately measured within ${\pm}2%$ error. The application of WMS method increased the beam intensity 2-3 times higher than DA method. It were experimentally compared WMS (Wavelength Modulation Spectroscopy) with DA (Direct Absorption) for the accuracy.

A laser interferometer is the unique measurement device that can measure the range up to a few meters with sub-nano resolution and this characteristic makes it as the important sensing device for the emerging nano-mechatronics technologies. The laser interferometer, however, is very sensitive to the environments such as temperature, humidity, sound noises, vibrations and air turbulences and these factors result in a few hundred nano meter errors. There have been many efforts to reduce these environmental errors. The output of the laser interferometer is assumed to be the sum of a real displacement and a Markov process noise. The purpose of this paper is to develop Kalman filter algorithms to reduce the laser interferometer measurement errors by exploiting the information of displacements in position-servo systems.

In this paper, we describe the modeling for the 3D robot laser scanning system consisting of a laser stripe projector, camera, and 5-DOF robot and propose its calibration method. Nonlinear radial distortion in the camera model is considered for improving the calibration accuracy. The 3D range data is calculated using the optical triangulation principle which uses the geometrical relationship between the camera and the laser stripe plane. For optimal estimation of the system model parameters, real-coded genetic algorithm is applied in the calibration process. Experimental results show that the constructed system is able to measure the 3D position within about 1mm error. The proposed scheme could be applied to the kinematically dissimilar robot system without losing the generality and has a potential for recognition for the unknown environment.

Optical triangulation is one of the most common methods for acquiring range data. Using this method. We have developed a new type of Laser Displacement Sensor. We used Area CCD instead of linear CCD and PSD (Position Sensitive Detector). And we have developed the robust algorithm for increasing the accuracy and used USB instead of RS-232C for increasing speed. We present results that demonstrate the validity of our method using optical triangulation technique, Area CCD, and USB.

Presently, A glass is widely used in telecommunication system, optoelectronic devices and micro electro mechanical systems. Micro drilling of glass using the laser can save processing cost and improve the accuracy. This paper experiments micro drilling using KrF excimer laser on the pyrex glass of $500{\mu}m$ thickness. We have experiment to find out optimum laser machining conditions of micro drilling of glass and ablation depth and influence by processing parameter suc'h pulse repetition rate, energy density and number of pulses. Pulse repetition rate don't influence ablation depth at the micro drilling of pyrex glass. Energy density influence micro drilling of parallelism and maximum thickness that can be drilled. Ablation depth is most influenced by number of pulses.

The correlation between electrical (derivativer) characteristics and electro-optical conversion characteristics of laser diodes has been investigated both theoretically and experimentally with emphasis on the nonideal behavior. Laser diodes are electrically pumped devices with the current resulting from the carrier recombination dynamics, and their junction voltage is given by the separation of the quasi-Fermi levels which are determined by the injected carrier concentration. Thus most of the informaiton related to laser diode operation characteristics is reveraled in the electrical characteristics which are relatively simple to measure with sufficient accuracy. Therefore the measurement of electrical characteristics and their derivatives is a very useful tool of laser diode characteristion.

Recently the styrofoam has been used fur material of press die pattern. The object of this research is to develope an automated laser system for manufacture of press die pattern which depends chiefly on handwork during its process. After converting 3-D CAD model into cross-sectional shape information, the unnecessary part of the section is vapored away by laser. The depth and width of cut are mainly under the control of laser power and beam feed rate. The optimum manufacturing conditions are obtained by preliminary experiments. It is necessary fur precise styrofoam pattern manufacturing to develope laser system which has sufficient motion accuracy and program or beam path generation and automatic control of this system.

In automotive industries, stamping of laser-welded blank gives many merits which brings about dimensional accuracy, strong body assembly and high productivity. However the welding of blanks with different thickness or/and different strength materials introduces many challenging formability problems for process development and tool design. In this paper, the deformation characteristics for deep drawing process of laser-welded blank with different thickness sheets are investigated by experiment and FEM simulation. And also the optimal location of weld line in laser-welded blank with different thickness sheets is calculated to compensate for the movement of weld line on deep drawing process. In addition, the effect of location of weld line is clarified using FEM simulation.
