Shop floor control systems (SFCS) are used to make real-time planning and scheduling decisions to optimize the efficiency of manufacturing shops. These shops exhibit a non-linear, dynamic evolution caused by 1) the concurrent flows of disparate parts following complex routings, 2) a variety of machines that breakdown at random times, 3) stochastic arrivals of new parts with different priorities, and 4) jobs that have probabilistic processing times and transportation times. Because of their ability to capture that evolution faithfully, simulation models are often used in the aforementioned decisions. In this paper, various types of decision-making problems encountered in a shop floor have been investigated and categorized into process related problems and resource related problems for shop floor simulation.

This research is concerned with Machine-Part Group Formation(MPGF) methodology for Flexible Manufacturing Systems(FMS). The purpose of the research is to develop a new heuristic algorithm for effectively solving MPGF problem. The new algorithm is proposed and evaluated by 100 machine-part incidence matrices generated. The performance measures are (1) grouping ability of mutually exclusive block-diagonal form. (2) number of unit group and exceptional elements, and (3) grouping time. The new heuristic algorithm has the following characteristics to effectively conduct MPGF : (a) The mathematical model is presented for rapid forming the proper number of unit groups and grouping mutually exclusive block-diagonal form, (b) The simple and effective mathematical analysis method of Rank Order Clustering(ROC) algorithm is applied to minimize intra-group journeys in each group and exceptional elements in the whole group. The results are compared with those from Expert System(ES) algorithm and ROC algorithm. The results show that the new algorithm always gives the group of mutually exclusive block-diagonal form and better results(85%) than ES algorithm and ROC algorithm.

In the recent field of 5-axis machine tools, it is necessary to improve machining ability. The tilting index table is a key unit in order to manufacture some non-rotational and 3-dimensional parts by using conventional machining centers. In this study, the structural analysis of a tilting index table is carried out and the displacement and distribution of stress in the tilting index table is analysed to design the table safely. The modal analysis is performed in order to confirm the frequency response about the vibration having a large effect on the machine tools. The dynamic analysis is performed in order to confirm the rigidity, and the structural stability has been verified.

LQG/LTR control scheme is applied to the two axes stage using piezoelectric actuator for tracking reference input and suppressing hysteresis effect in this paper. The plant is combined with an integrator to improve the tracking ability. LQG/LTR controller is designed by making desirable target filter loop remove all poles except for an integrator included in new design plant model and loop transfer recovery. Decoupler in the shape of FIR filter is added to remove the coupling effect between the two axes motion and so feedback control loop is designed independently for the each axis motion.

This paper suggests a control technique of the two axes precision stage. The stage is supported by four flexible spring hinges and driven by two piezoelectric actuators. The dynamic motion of the stage is analysed by the finite element method and identified by the frequency domain modeling technique based on the experimental data. The sliding mode control with integrator is applied to improve the tracking ability of the stage to the complex reference input signal. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed modeling schemes and control algorithm can be used effectively for the two axes stage.

In order to achieve high-resolution and large-size displays, inspection technology is necessary and important. It is a powerful utility for process and yield improvement for the high valued panel realization. We indicated the challenge of advanced panel manufacturing on inspection ability and throughput. We also investigated the method to judge laser-crystallizing energy by inspection technology. Finally, the total defect number and critical killer defects were classified and discussed in this work.

Bulk metallic glasses (BMG) have been greatly improved by the advance of synthesis process during last three decades. It was also found that the Glass Forming Ability (GFA) strongly depends on the glass transition temperature. When the temperature approaches to a critical value, the crystals nucleation from the supercooled liquid can be suppressed so that bulk glass formation possible. Egami and others found that the local glass transition temperature depends on the volumetric strain of each atom and suggested the critical transition temperature. In this paper, we explore the strain dependency of local glass transition temperature using the atomic strain defined by the deformation tensor for the Voronoi polyhedra.

Recently, advanced manufacturing systems with high speed and intelligence have been developed for the betterment of machining ability. In this case, reliability prediction work with motion characteristic evaluation of sliding cover(C-plate, Bellows, etc) has also important role from design procedure to manufacturing and assembly process. Accordingly in this study, H/W test-bed system for reliability evaluation of sliding cover has been developed to obtain proper reference data for design of new model, prevention trouble (failure mode), and improvement of quality and lift cycle extremely for advanced mother machinery.

3D nano-scale manufacturing is an important aspect of advanced manufacturing technology. A key element in ability to view, fabricate, and in some cases operate micro-devices is the availability of tightly focused particle beams, particularly of photons, electrons, and ions. The use of ions is the only way to fabricate directly micro-/ nano-scale structures. It has been utilized as a direct-write method for lithography, implantation, and milling of functional devices. The simulation of ion beam induced physical and chemical phenomena based on sound mathematical models associated with simulation methods is presented for 3D micro-/nanofabrication. The results obtained from experimental investigation and characteristics of ion beam induced direct fabrication will be discussed.

In this paper, a robust MRAC (model reference adaptive control) scheme is applied to control an electrohydraulic positioning system under various loads. The inverse dead-zone compensator in the control system cancels out the dead-zone response, and an integrator added to the controller provides good position-tracking ability. LQG/LTR (linear quadratic Gaussian control with loop transfer recovery) closed-loop model is used as the reference model for learning the MRAC system. LQG/LTR provides a systematic technique to design the linear controller that optimizes the objective function using some compromise between the control effort and the system performance in the frequency domain. Different external load tests are performed to investigate the effectiveness of the designed MRAC system in real time. The experimental results show that the tracking performance of the proposed system is highly accurate, which offers considerable robustness even with a large change in the load.
