Aerostatic planar XY stages are frequently used as the main frames of precision positioning systems. The machining and assembly process of the rails and bed of the stage is one of first processes performed when the system is built. When the system is complete, the 2D position, motion, and stage flatness errors are measured in tests. If the stage errors exceed the application requirements, the stage must be remachined and the assembly process must be repeated. This is difficult and time-consuming work. In this paper, a method for estimating the errors of a planar XY stage is proposed that can be applied when the rails and bed of the stage are evaluated. Profile measurements, estimates of the motion error, and 2D position estimation models were considered. A comparison of experimental results and our estimates indicated that the estimated errors were within $1{\mu}m$ of their true values. Thus, the proposed estimation method for 2D position and flatness errors of an aerostatic planar XY stage is expected to be a useful tool during the assembly process of guideways.

This paper proposes a dual-mode ultra precision positioning system for machine tools and measuring machines. The objective was to position a machine table with a picometer order of resolution, i.e., pico-positioning. A twist-roller friction drive (TFD) was used in coarse-mode positioning. The TFD, which was driven by an AC servomotor, is a kind of lead screw in mechanical terms, and several centimeters of machine table movement was controlled with a nanometer order of positioning resolution. To eliminate lateral vibration caused by the TFD, an active aerostatic coupling driven by piezoelectric actuators was inserted between the TFD and the machine table. This active aerostatic coupling was also applied as a feed drive device for fine-mode positioning; in the fine mode, the positioning resolution was 50 pm. Factors influencing pico-positioning, such as how noise from displacement sensors and vibrations in the aerostatic guideway affect positioning resolution, are discussed.

Light Rail Transit (LRT) System is an urban transit system which has approximately an intermediate transportation capacity between conventional subway and bus ($5,000{\sim}25,000$ persons per hour and per direction). It is a high-tech system which operational capacity, punctuality and mobility are remarkably improved. There are some types of LRT systems such as monorail, tramway, AGT(Automated Guideway Transit), and so on. The LRT systems have been applied and being operated in about a hundred lines around the world and many projects that apply the LRT systems in Korea are being proceeded and scheduled. For the efficient management, economical construction, and safe operation of various LRT systems, the establishment of national standard is necessary such as vehicle standardized specification, vehicle performance test standard, vehicle safety standard, construction guide, operation regulation, etc. of LRT systems. This paper presents the standard specification of electrical equipment of linear induction motor type light rail vehicle, that is LIM AGT(AGT system propelled with linear induction motor) vehicle. The LIM AGT system has been applied in Japan subway and ART(Advanced Rapid Transit) system of Canada and Yongin LRT is currently under construction.

Light Rail Transit (LRT) is optimized vehicle system for complex urban circumstance. LRT systems have many merits such as improved accuracy and safety. There are many LRT systems such as monorail, tram, automated guideway transit, linear induction motor propulsion and so on. These systems have been operated in Japan and other advanced countries. In Korea, local government has many projects to apply the advanced LRT system. But there are no standards regulation, performance test regulation and construction regulation for monorail system, linear induction motor system and tram in Korea. We expect that standardization brings economical construction and safety. The linear induction motor system has been usually applied to subway in Japan and ART(Advanced Rapid Transit) in Canada. In Korea, the linear induction motor system has been adopted for Yong-In LRT and currently under construction. This paper presents signalling system and TCMS(train control and monitoring system) of linear induction motor system.

Error assessment and evaluation for machine for machine tool slides have been considered as essential tools for improving accuracy. In this paper, a computer aided measurement technique is proposed using photo pin diodes of quadrant type and laser source. In thedeveloped system, three photo diodes are mounted on a sensor mounting table, and the sensored signal is processed by specially designed signal conditioner to give fine resolution with minimum noise. A micro computer inputs the processed signal, and the geometric errors of five degree of freedoms are successfully evaluated. Pitch, roll, yaw, vertical and horizontal straightness errors are thus assessed simultaneously for a machine tool slide. Calibration techniques such as optics calibration, photo diode calibration are proposed and implemented, giving precise calibration for the measurement system. The developed system has been applied to a practical machine tool slide, and has been found as one of efficient and precise technique for machine tool slide.

Air stages are usually applied to precision engineering in sectors such as the semiconductor industry owing to their excellent performance and extremely low friction. Since the productivity of a semiconductor depends on the acceleration and deceleration performance of the air stage, many attempts have been made to improve the speed of the stage. Even during sudden start or stop sequences, the stage should maintain an air film to avoid direct contact between pad and the rail. The purpose of this study is to quantitatively predict the dynamic behavior of the air stage when acceleration and deceleration occur. The air stage is composed of two parts; the stage and the guide-way. The stage transports objects to the guideway, which is supported by an externally pressurized gas bearing. In this study, we use COMSOL Multiphysics to calculate the pressure of the air film between the stage and the guide-way and solve the two-degree-of-freedom equations of motion of the stage. Based on the specified velocity conditions such as the acceleration time and the maximum velocity of stage, we calculate the eccentricity and tilting angle of the stage. The result shows that the stiffness and damping of the gas bearing have non-linear characteristics. Hence, we should consider the operating conditions in the design process of an air stage system because the dynamic behavior of the stage becomes unstable depending on the maximum velocity and the acceleration time.

In recognition of the transportation problems of the present and to prepare for the ever increasing demands of the future, government decided to develop the magnetically levitated train domestically and started R&D program office in Korea Institute of Machinery and Metals(KIMM). This office since has established three step by step goals : first to develop a 40 passenger exhibition vehicle for Daejon EXPO'93, second to develop the low to mid-speed maglev system for urban public transportation by 1997 and finally the high speed inter-city maglev train by year 2001. The first two maglev systems will use attractive levitation-LIM driven technologies and these technologies are the ones currently being developed by this office and others. The maglev train system is a product of wide range of technologies from electro-technologies to civil engineering technologies. Some of the technologies are currently available but more have to be developed in the near future and these technologies are owned by or to be developed by various institutions within the science & technology community. The level of the technologies available at the present time are still very rudimentary and their basis are very narrow. Recently we have made a few successes in terms of levitation and propulsion but they are only with small scale modules and results are very qualitative at best. A great deal of development work has yet to be done to refine the technologies and to gain confidence. Full scale levitation/propulsion modules will be tested on the curved guideway within 6 months by this office and another institution. This paper reviews the current status of the maglev technologies in Korea and discuss the development strategies. The Korean maglev program is very ambitious and the schedule is even more so. A steady financial support and strong system engineering and integration are essential to the success of this program.

도시형 자기부상열차는 U 자형 전자석만을 사용하여 부상공극을 일정하게 유지하며 주행한다. U자형 전자석은 그 형상 특성으로 인하여 전자석 위치에 따라 안내력을 동시에 갖기 때문에 능동적 횡공극 제어가 없이도 차량을 레일에 따라 안내할 수 있는 장점을 갖는다. 그러나 횡공극을 제어하기 않기 때문에 횡진동이 증가하여 승차감 및 주행안정성에 악영향을 미칠 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 능동제어가 없이도 횡진동을 저감시키기 위한 방법으로 횡댐퍼 적용 효과에 대한 분석이 이루어진다. 이를 위하여 자기부상열차의 횡방향 고유진동특성을 우선 해석하고, 횡방향 댐퍼를 설치했을 때의 진동저감 효과 분석이 이루어진다. 정확한 횡진동 예측을 위하여 자기부상열차의 3 차원 다물체 동역학 모델을 사용하였다. 본 논문의 결과를 통해서 자기부상열차의 횡진동 저감을 위한 횡댐퍼 채택 제안에 활용하고자 한다.

경계요소법을 사용하여 세 가지 유형의 전두부 형상과 비 평면 지면이 FAST 동체의 공력 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 본 수치해석 기법을 검증하고 벽면의 영향이 마찰항력에 미치는 영향을 파악하기 위하여 풍동시험을 수행하였다. 채널은 동체의 양력을 증가시키는 효과가 있었다. 최적의 전두부 형상은 동체와 측면 벽 사이의 간격, 동체의 높이와 같은 FAST 및 안내로 설계 조건에 의존하였다. 계산한 유도항력계수 값과 측정한 전항력 값을 비교한 결과 형상 항력은 동체의 고도에 무관하였다. 지면효과를 받지 않는 동체의 형상항력 값을 알고 있다면, 본 수치기법은 고속 지상 운행체의 개념설계에 사용할 수 있다.
