Automatic tool changers (ATCs) can be divided into drum and chain types. Drum-type ATCs contain a magazine, where the tools are mounted, and a cam gearbox, which swaps the tools via roller gear and grooved plate cams. Drum-type ATCs are advantageous in that the operating time for the tool magazine is more rapid than that of chain-type ATCs and the length of the unit is shorter. Thus, drum-type ATCs can be fabricated into various shapes and forms depending on the number of tools and the magazine size in accordance with machining center requirements and consumer demand. In particular, the price competitiveness of a machining center with a drum-type ATC is higher, while drum-type ATCs are more rigid with fewer parts, possibly reducing the need for regular servicing. This study aims to verify the structural stability and design validity of the magazine base, which is the main structure of a drum-type ATC, using finite element analysis. This study kinematically verifies the specifications of the selected drive motor and reducer and assessed the design of the cam gearbox. It also conducts a structural analysis of the roller camp, which is the core component of the cam gearbox, based on the results of the kinetodynamic analysis, thus validating the structural design.

Recently, electric skateboards have been used as a means of personal transportation due to their convenience and simplicity of operation, but the conventional skateboards driven by timing belts or hub motors have disadvantages such as low driving torque, high current and vibration. Therefore, in this paper, we propose a new type of electric skateboard that can run at high speeds for long periods of time so that it can be used as a auxiliary means of transportation. The planetary gear and motor unit are combined and installed inside one drive wheel, and power is supplied to the wheel through the integrated driving unit to prevent high currents and enable high-speed driving. First, the allowable current and running speed of the electric skateboard were set for efficient personal transportation and the appropriate reduction ratio, modules, and planetary gear dimensions were determined by comparing the torque required for the wheel axis and the maximum output torque of the motor. Additionally, an appropriate suspension device was added to reduce driving vibration for user convenience, and the feasibility of the proposed in-wheel gearbox was experimentally verified through fabrication.

Turbo compressors need high speed rotating impeller in structure, high rate gearbox and conventional induction motor. This mechanical system increased moment of inertia and mechanical friction loss. Recently turbo compressor has adopted a super high-speed motor and driver and have made its size smaller and mechanical friction loss at minimum. In this paper, variable super high - speed motor controller, compressor controller and MMI controller are implemented with only one DSP (TMS320VC33) chip for a 150HP, 70,000rpm direct drive turbo compressor. It was required hardware and software integration. The result of integration, Controller hardware became simple and all control software are developed same developing tool. The implements turbo compressor meets the requirements.

In this study, a heavy-load servo-control driving system, which are composed of controller, electro-hydraulic servomechanism, hydraulic motor, reduction gearbox, turret slew bearing and turret structure, are investigated to simplify the servo-control system. To estimate the effect of each component, nonlinear modeling and simulation are carried out. In the first stage, to prove the validity of the performance estimation program, simulation results are compared with experimental results. In the second stage, the effect of each component of the control system is evaluated and then a simplified control system is suggested.

To detect the failures in machine, the signals of current, vibration and acoustic emission are widely used in industry. And unexpected failures of gears are not only extremely damaging but also lead to economic losses. In this paper, to detect the misalignment occurred at between two gears in gearboxes, the signals of current, vibration and AE were measured at gearbox and motor power line. FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) was used for current and vibration signal analysis to find gear failure frequency. Especially, the envelop analysis and wavelet transform were applied for AE signal. Therefore, compared with the results of three kinds of signal, the possibility of earily detection by AE is identified or checked.

This paper describes the result of structure analysis and load test of torque arm for driving gear unit. The purpose of the analysis and test is to evaluate an safety which torque arm shall be considered fully sufficient rigidity so as to satisfy proper system function under maximum load. Driving gear unit consist of gearbox and torque arm. Both components, torque arm is significant component subjected to the vehicle and motor loads. The evaluation methode is used the FEM analysis, static and fatigue test. The test results have been very safety and stable for design load conditions.

This paper reveals both the operational situation and the cause of the error occurred in wind turbine generator system of Hangwon wind farm in Jeju island. The four wind turbines were selected for this work, and the monitored period was for six months. Wind resource in the wind farm was analyzed, and the estimated energy production was compared with the actual energy production. As a result, with a decrease of system error, the estimated energy production was in good agreement with the actual energy production. The errors occurring in components such as gearbox and hydraulic motor affected the Availability of the wind turbine. Also, poor external conditions such as a strong wind, lightning and gust caused a standstill of wind turbines.

High Speed permanent magnet machines are currently being developed for a number of applications including gas turbine power plants, air conditioning systems, machine tools, gas pumps, high performance vacuum pumps, flywheel energy storage systems, aircraft fuel pumps, and so on. Using a high-speed machine eliminates the necessity of the mechanical gearbox and could certainly increase the system efficiency and reduce the total cost. In addition, a high-speed machine has the advantage of small dimension and low weight, i.e. low weight to power and volume to power ratio. This paper presents a review of some important applications (mostly still under development) where high-speed machines arc used, highlighting the advantages of the technology in each case.

Vibration analysis of a turbo compressor test rig was carried out in order to investigate the vibrational characteristics of the compressor facility in KARI before conducting the compressor performance test of 5MW-class gas turbine engine for generation. The overall compressor test facility consists largely of inlet and exit ducts, a test section and a driving part. Vibration was measured with accelerometers at the test section and the driving part, especially at a main housing, a collector, a bearing carrier, a torquemeter, a gearbox, and an electric motor. Gap sensors are also installed to measure the rotordynamic characteristics of compressor shaft.
