  • In this paper, we describe the design and manufacture of a control system for an automatic loading system that inserts and removes workpieces after machining. The control system was manufactured using DSP for high speed and consists of a power unit, a control unit, a communication unit, and a display unit. We connected the control system to the mechanical system of the automatic workpiece loader to test the characteristics, which allowed us to raise and lower the automatic workpiece loading system to the desired position. The successful test demonstrates that we can use the control system to control the workpiece automatic loading system.

  • In this paper, we design a new automatic workpiece loading system for the loading and unloading of a workpiece for a CNC lathe. Conventional workpiece loading systems are bulky and require a large area when installed around a shelf. Therefore, an automatic loading system with small horizontal and vertical dimensions and a large loading capacity was designed. Structural analysis of the system was then carried out to assess the displacement and safety of the main components. Following this, the automatic loading system was manufactured according to the structural analysis results and conceptual design, and experiments characterizing the performance of the system were conducted. As a result, the automatic loading system was found to operate accurately and safely, meaning it can be used to load and unload workpieces for a CNC lathe.

  • The present development relates to an apparatus for loading or unloading a workpiece, and more particularly, to an apparatus for loading or unloading a workpiece from a press die or supplier An apparatus for loading or unloading a workpiece has been installed in a press in order to load or unload a workpiece from a press die. There has been known such a loading or unloading apparatus as the apparatus can feed a workpiece in not only the horizontal direction but also in the vortical direction. Press working system in automotive factories are now switching over to a transfer press work ing system. The current problem to be sieved immediately is to automate the existing manual press lines for the manpower saving and speedy production. “Automation system for press line”has just been developed to meet the above trend. The loader and unloader are development under the design concept for high performance, easy control and operational safety to meet the more extensive.

  • This paper describes the design and fabrication of an automatic alignment and loading system for workpieces. To move a workpiece to a chucking position of a machine tool using a gantry robot, an automatic aligning device is required to load the workpiece before machining and automatically align them. The automatic alignment system was conceptually designed, and the structural analysis was performed for the main parts such as the top plate, center support, front and back support, and support shaft. Based on the structural analysis results, the size of these structures was determined. The automatic alignment system was manufactured, and the vertical movement characteristics of the workpiece up-and-down movement device and the rotation characteristics of the workpiece rotation device were experimentally examined. The result has confirmed that they operate normally.

  • In order to meet the increasing competitive pressures coupled with higher demands for component quality, whirling machines have been at the cutting edge of the automobile industry for more than 25 years. The hard whirling process can save on machining time and operation elimination. Hard whirling is done dry, without coolant. The chips carry away nearly all of the heat during cutting, leaving the workpiece cool and minimizing any thermal geometry variations. The surface finish and profile accuracy are close to grinding quality. Whirling machines usually consist of four major parts; 1) loading system that requires the necessary axial speeds, 2) head stock that needs high precision clamping and positioning system at the chuck and tailstock, 3) whirling unit that demands the high cutting speeds and cutting power fer cutting deep thread profiles and 4) unloading system that requires an easy workpiece unloading. Also, capabilities of the whirling machine can be improved by attaching a vision system to the machine. Most of whirling machines in Korean automobile industry are imported from the Leistritz company, Germany and the Hasegawa company, Japan. Tn this paper, a basic research will be performed to improve and enhance the existing whirling machines. Finally, a new Korean whirling machine will be proposed and developed.

  • The measurement of surface roughness and waviness by means of noncontact method is an important area to be developed for GAC(Geometrical Adaptive Control) system. This paper deal with the design of noncontact in-process measurement system which measures the surface roughness and waviness during cylindrical grinding. This measuring system is simple and the apparatus proposed is composed of a laser unit, photodetector and optical system. During operation, the surface of a workpiece is continuously scanned by a laser beam. This method makes it possible to detect the surface roughness and waviness along the feed direction by control the spot diameter of laser beam. The experimental results show that the presence of chattering, loading and glazing can be detected sensitively along the feed directions.

  • This paper deal with the design of noncontact In-process measurement system which measures the surface roughness during cylindrical grinding. The measuring system is extremely simple and the apparatus proposed is composed of a laser unit, photodetector and optical system. The experimental performance of the apparatus is satisfactory and good results are expected in the actual use. During operation, the surface of a workpiece Is continuously scanned by a laser beam. The experimental results show that the presence of chattering, loading and glazing can be detected sensitively along both circumferential and feed directions and the surface roughness value is obtained from the reading along the feed direction.
