The present CNC machining system if without any CAM software has been limited to 2D or 2.5D plane cut using lines, arcs and curves. If the CNC is equipped with a surface interpolation module and a surface reorganizing module inside it, we can easily try 3D surface machining without aid of CAM software. The existing NURBS surface interpolator is simple and direct to use for a unit surface. However, it enables only machining of each reference surface individually even when machining a simple composite surface. In this paper, we propose a method which can unify and reorganize various reference surfaces with a newly defined NURBS surface cycle command: a multi-repetitive cycle command such as in a CNC turning center. We also introduce a reorganizing rule for reference surfaces using NURBS properties. The usefulness of the proposed method is verified through computer simulation.

RFID middleware is the system software that converts EPC data collected from RFID reader devices into meaningful data, that users want, and transfers the result to the users with a variety of protocols. ALE specification, the RFID middleware specification proposed by EPCglobal that is a leading group of do facto international standards with respect to RFID, can handle only EPC code. Meanwhile, a new code system which is called KKR was proposed by NIDA in order to represent RFID tag data in a specific manner and cultivate the domestic RFID industry. In this case, the existing RFID middleware can not process KKR code system because of inherent attributes of the system. In this paper, we proposed a method of KKR code conversion to properly process KKR code in ALE middieware, implemented our method in real, and adopted it into existing ALE middleware. Also, we proposed a new URN format for RFID tag data to manipulate KKR code in ALE middleware. By using the proposed method, the existing ALE middleware conforming to international specification can handle KKR code effectively, and the integration among RFID middleware and legacy systems can be easily supported also.

In this paper, several process parameter studies of the manufacturing process of the steel cords are carried out to verify the relation between the process parameters and the residual stresses on the steel cords. At first, the finite element analysis of the drawing process is performed and the residual stress distributions with respect to the wire material and the area reduction ratio are obtained. The residual stress of the drawn wire is imported the finite element analysis of the twisting process as an initial stress. After that a parameter study of the twisting process is carried out. The process parameters are the applied tension, the over-twisting angle and the tensile strength of the drawn wire. Based on these studies, the optimum values of the process parameters which can remove or reduce the undesired residual stresses are determined. The optimum value of the process parameters are confirmed by the finite element analysis of the elastic recovery process of the steel cords. Finally, the finite element analysis of the roller straightening process is done to study the variation of the distribution of the residual stress before and after the process.

This paper presents a geometric machining simulation algorithm to enhance the reliability and user-friendliness of a comprehensive computer aided process planning (CAPP) system by verifying generated NC data. In order to represent the complex machining geometry with high accuracy, the proposed algorithm is developed based on a boundary representative (B-rep) solid modelling kernel. Solid models are used to represent the part geometry. tool swept volume and material removal volume by Boolean unite and subtract operations. By integrating a machining simulation procedure into the CAPP system, the systematic analysis of the tool path can be implemented synthetically. To demonstrate and check the validity of suggested system, a simple example of simulation is represented and the result is discussed.

This paper presents an NC code post-processor that adjusts feedrates to keep the variation of metal removal rate along the tool paths minimum. Metal removal rate is estimated by virtually machining the part, whose surface model is built from a series of NC codes defined in operation plan, with cutting-tool-assembly models, whose geometry are defined in a machining database. The NC code post-processor modifies the feedrates by the adjustment rules, which are based on the machining knowledge for effective machining. This paper illustrates a procedure fur grouping machining conditions and we also show how to determine an adjustment rule for a machining-condition group. An example part was machined and it shows that the variation of cutting force was dramatically reduced after applying the NC code post-processor. The NC code post-processor is expected to increase productivity while maintaining the quality of the machined part.

레이저 가공기술은 재료가공 분야에서 넓은 응용분야를 가지고 있으며, 특히 절단, 용접, 열처리 등의 가공분야에서 고정밀도와 자동화의 용이성으로 인해 생산성이 높은, 고부가가치의 첨단응용 기술로 부각되고 있다. 특히 레이저절단은 타 절단법에 비교되는 절단정도, 열영향, 생산성, 작업 환경등의 각종 우위성으로 박판 및 후판절단분야에서 급속한 보급을 보이기 시작하였다. 현재 대 부분의 레이저 가공기는 CNC화 되어가고 있는 추세이며, 레이저 절단의 경우 생산성증대 및 고 정밀화를 위하여 CAD/CAM인터페이스에 의한 자동화가 필연적인 상황이다. 뿐만아니라 고출력 레이저 발전기를 가공 기본체에 탑재한 탑재형 레이저가공기의 출현으로 대형부재의 절단이 가능 하게 되었으며, 더불어 절단공정의 무인화를 지향하는 각종 시스템이 개발되고 있다. 이와 같은 무인화, 생산성증대, 작업시간단축과 러닝 코스트 및 재료의 절감을 위한 노력의 일환으로 컴 퓨터에 의한 자동 및 반자동 네스팅 시스템의 개발을 들 수 있다. 레이저에 의한 2차원 절단응 용분야에서의 네스팅작업은 설계가 끝난 각 부품의 절단작업의 전단계로서 수행되며, 일반적으로 네스팅공정이 완료되면 절단경로를 결정하고 가공조건과 함께 수치제어공작기계의 제어에 필요한 NC코드를 생성하게 된다. 최근에는 이와 같은 네스팅 시스템이 일부 생산현장에 적용되고 있 으나 이러한 시스템들의 대부분이 외국에서 개발된 것을 수입하여 사용하는 실정이다. 2차원 패턴의 최적자동배치문제는 비단 레이저 절단과 같은 열가공 분야에서 뿐만 아니라 블랭킹 금형, 의류, 유리, 목재등 여러분야에서 응용이 가능하며 패키지의 국산화가 시급한 실정이다. 네스 팅작업은 적용되는 분야에 따라 요구사항과 구속조건이 달라지며 이로 인해 알고리즘과 자료구 조도 달라지게 되나 공통적인 목표는 주어진 영역안에서 겹침없이 배치하면서 버림율을 최소화 하는 것이다. 지난 10여년간 여러 산업의 응용분야에서는 네스팅시스템의 도입이 활발하게 이 루어지고 있는데 수동에 반자동 및 자동에 이르기까지 다양하나 자동네스팅시스템의 경우 배치 효율의 신뢰성이 비교적 부족하기 때문에 아직까지는 생산현장에서 기피하는 실정이다. 배치알 고리즘의 관점에서 볼 때 이러한 문제들은 NP-complete문제로 분류하며 제한된 시간안에 최적의 해를 구하기가 가능한 조합 최적화 문제로 알려져 있다. 따라서 이 글에서는 레이저 절단분야 에서의 네스팅시스템에 관한 개요와 최근의 연구동향 그리고 몇 가지 전형적인 네스팅 알고리 즘들을 소개하고 비교분석을 통해 개선점을 간략하게 논의하고자 한다.
