In automobile industry, it is necessary to reduce the weight from the view point of energy and environmental problems in these days. One of the ways for weight reduction is using adhesive aluminum structures. In this study, ultrasonic signals reflected from the adhesively bonded joint layer are used to evaluate the adhesively bonded joints. FFT is performed to determine bond-layer parameters such as effective thickness and frequency for adhesively bonded joint Al 6061 plates in comparison with the measured and theoretical ratios. And the parameters of ultrasonic wave and the J-integral are investigated to evaluate the adhesively bonded joint strength by DCB specimens.

SnAgCu lead-free solder alloy is considered as the best alternative to eutectic tin-lead solder. However, the detailed material properties of SnAgCu solder are not available in public. Hence, this paper presents an estimation of mechanical properties of SnAgCu lead-free solder. In particular, the weight percent of Ag was varied as 1.0wt%, 2.5wt%, 3.0wt%, and 4.5wt% in order to estimate the effect of Ag in the Sn-xAg-0.5Cu ternary alloy system. For this purpose, four types of SnAgCu bars were first molded by casting and then standard specimens were cut out of molded bars. Micro-Vickers hardness, tensile tests were finally performed to estimate the variations in mechanical properties according to the weight percent of Ag. Test results reveal that the higher the weight percent of Ag is, the higher the hardness, yield strength, and ultimate tensile strength become. More material properties will be further investigated in the future work.

In this paper, the direct bonding process between FPCB and HPCB was studied. By using an ultrasonic horn which is mounted on the ultrasonic bonding machine, it is alternatively possible to bond the gold pads attached on the FPCB and HPCB at room temperature without an adhesive like ACA or NCA. The process condition for obtaining more bonding strength than 0.6 Kgf, which is commercially required, was carried out as 40 kHz of frequency, 0.6 MPa of bonding pressure and 2 second of bonding time. The peel off test was performed for evaluating bonding strength which results in more than 0.8 Kgf.

There have been continuous efforts to automate welding processes. This automation process could be said to fall into two categories, weld seam tracking and weld quality evaluation. Recently, the attempts to achieve these two functions simultaneously are on the increase. For the study presented in this paper, a vision sensor is made, and using this, the 3 dimensional geometry of the bead is measured in real time. For the application in welding, which is the characteristic of nonlinear process, a fuzzy controller is designed. And with this, an adaptive control system is proposed which acquires the bead height and the coordinates of the point on the bead along the horizontal fillet joint, performs seam tracking with those data, and also at the same time, controls the bead geometry to a uniform shape. A communication system, which enables the communication with the industrial robot, is designed to control the bead geometry and to track the weld seam. Experiments are made with varied offset angles from the pre-taught weld path, and they showed the adaptive system works favorable results.

Recently, automated solutions using collaborative robots have been emerging in various industries. Their primary functions include Pick & Place, Peg in the Hole, fastening and assembly, welding, and more, which are being utilized and researched in various fields. The application of these robots varies depending on the characteristics of the grippers attached to the end of the collaborative robots. To grasp a variety of objects, a gripper with a high degree of freedom is required. In this paper, we propose a service automation system using a multi-degree-of-freedom gripper, collaborative robots, and vision sensors. Assuming various products are placed at a checkout counter, we use three cameras to recognize the objects, estimate their pose, and create grasping points for grasping. The grasping points are grasped by the multi-degree-of-freedom gripper, and experiments are conducted to recognize barcodes, a key task in service automation. To recognize objects, we used a CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) based algorithm and point cloud to estimate the object's 6D pose. Using the recognized object's 6d pose information, we create grasping points for the multi-degree-of-freedom gripper and perform re-grasping in a direction that facilitates barcode scanning. The experiment was conducted with four selected objects, progressing through identification, 6D pose estimation, and grasping, recording the success and failure of barcode recognition to prove the effectiveness of the proposed system.

점용접은 자동차 산업에서 많이 사용되어지는데 조립공정의 자동화로 인하여 경제성과 차체 중량을 높이지 않아 자동차 연비 개선효과가 있다. 그러나 차량 주행시 노면으로부터 불규칙적인 하중전달 및 진동으로 인하여 점 용접부에 응력집중이 발생하고 피로파괴가 종종 발생한다. 이에 대하여 강성변화를 고려한 점용접부의 피로수명 평가는 필수적이다. 본 논문에서는 선형정적해석을 수행하여 취약부위를 파악하였다. 점용접부의 피로특성을 획득하였고, 시간영역에서 3단계의 하중이력을 도출하여, 준정적 피로해석에 조건으로 설정하여 수행하였다. 또한 점용접부에 대한 피로수명예측 방법은 기존 방법과 피로누적으로 인한 손상방법을 적용하여 나타낸 결과를 가지고 비교분석하였다.

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.

용접은 가장 널리 사용되는 금속접합기술이며 조선, 자동차, 항공, 플랜트설비 등 산업현장의 여러 분야에서 활용되고 있는 근대산업의 기본적인 생산기술이다. 그러나 용접작업 자체가 강한 빛과 전류, 유해가스등을 발생하고 있으며, 다품종 소량 생산하는 작업장에서는 규격화된 물건을 만들어 내는 제조업에 비해서 자동화가 어렵다. 따라서 범용적으로 모든 형태의 용접할 부위인 용접선을 검출하여 자동으로 용접하기란 상당히 어려우며, 본 논문에서는 삼각파 형태의 굴곡을 가진 용접선을 검출하고자 스트레인게이지를 응용한 센서를 이용하였고, 이를 직선구동이 가능한 반자동 캐리지에 탑재하여 용접선을 자동으로 추적하여 용접하는 실험을 제안하였다. 캐리지는 직선 전진만 하고 있더라도 굴곡이 있는 용접선을 자동으로 검출하여 용접이 가능하도록 하였다.

컨덴서식 저항 용접기는 용접에 필요한 에너지를 전해컨덴서에 축척 시킨 후 이것을 순시에 용접변압기로 방전하여 큰 용접전류를 흘리게 된다. 아날로그 제어방식에 의한 기존 컨덴서 용접 시스템은 용접 세팅이 어려웠으며, 시스템의 소손 가능성이 높았고, 크기면에서도 비대해질 우려가 있었다. 이에 비해 디지털제어방식의 중앙집중식 자동화시스템은 사용자가 세팅을 쉽게 할 수 있으며, 전원을 제어함에 따라서 전력소비를 최소화 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 마이크로프로세서를 이용한 디지털제어방식의 중앙 집중식 컨덴서식 저항용접 시스템을 제안한다.
