Pneumatic cylinders are widely used to actuators in automatic equipments because they are relatively inexpensive, simple to install and maintain, offer robust design and operation, are available in a wide range of standard sizes and design alternatives. This paper presents a comparative study among the dynamic characteristics of meter-out and meter-in speed control of pneumatic cushion cylinders with a relief valve type cushion mechanism. Because of the nonlinear differential equations and a requirement for simultaneous iterative solution in a mathematical model of a double acting pneumatic cushion cylinder, a computer simulation is carried out to investigate pressure, temperature, mass flow rate in cushion chamber and displacement and velocity time histories of piston under various operating conditions. It is found that the piston velocity and pressure response in meter-in speed control are more oscillatory than with meter-out those when pneumatic cushion cylinders are driven at a high-speed. In meter-out speed control, the effective area of the flow control valve is larger than that of meter-in, and the supply pressure has to be much higher than the pressure required to move the load because it has also to overcome the back pressure in cushion chamber.

선형 전동기는 일반 회전기를 펼친 상태로 유도기, 전동기, 직류기 및 기타 특수 전동기로 분류하며 그 원리는 회전형 전동기와 같다. 직선 운동을 필요로 하는 시스템에서 기계적 변환 기구를 사용하지 않고 직접 직선 운동을 얻을 수 있으므로 향후 자동화 기기, 교통수단, 산업용 기기 등에 많은 수요를 창출할 수 있는 전동기이다. 또한 선형 전동기는 일반 회전형 전동기에 비해 스크류, 체인, 기어 시스템 등의 기계적인 변환장치가 없이 선형 구동력을 직접 발생시키므로 청정을 필요로 하는 환경에서 회전형에 비해 절대적으로 우세하다. 그러나 이상과 같은 장점을 지닌 선형 전동기를 실제 시스템에 적용하기 위해서는 속도의 저하에 따른 저 출력, 저 효율 및 고 가격과 같은 문제들을 우선적으로 해결해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 이 선형 전동기 기술이 적용되는 차세대 LCD 공정 자동화설비인 10,000N급 Stocker System에 적용되는 핵심기술과 기술개발 동향에 대한 소개를 하고자 한다.

This paper deals with the remote control of a quadruped robot by using network concept. In case we have to work out the designed plan under the irregular terrains and have the human friendly actions,. our robot will be required to have walking capability, and patterns with legs, which are designed like gaits of insert, dog and human. Our quadruped robot(called SERO) has not only the basic actions operated with sensors and actuators but also the various advanced walking trajectories, which are generated by Genetic Algorithm In addition, it has the remote controller in order to operate the remote actions such as generation of command via web browser and monitoring the robot status. In this paper the body and the controller structures are suggested and the results of kinematics analysis are also presented, All of the suggested motions of SERO are generated by PC simulation and implemented in real environment successfully.

In this paper, the structure of a gravity compensator was studied, and the 6-axis robot manipulator which is newly developed by applying the gravity compensator is presented to improve the torque performance of the robot joint. The kinematics analysis on the robot was presented. Also, a simulation of the performance of the joint actuator of robot adopting the gravity compensator was presented by applying various springs. According to the simulation results, it was validated that the payload effect on the robot joint actuator adopting the gravity compensator is reduced in proportion to the spring intensity of the gravity compensator.

A fine stage is developed for the 3-DOF error compensation of a linear axis in order to improve the positioning accuracy. This stage is designed as a planar parallel mechanism, and the joints are based on a flexure hinge to achieve ultra-precise positioning. Also, the effect of Abbe's offsets between the measuring and driving coordinate systems is minimized to ensure an exact error compensation. The mode shapes of the designed stage are analyzed to verify the desired 3-DOF motions, and the workspace and displacement of a piezoelectric actuator (PZT) for compensation are analyzed using forward and inverse kinematics. The 3-DOF error of a linear axis is measured and compensated by using the developed fine stage. A marked improvement is observed compared to the results obtained without error compensation. The peak-to-valley (PV) values of the positional and rotational errors are reduced by 92.6% and 91.3%, respectively.

전세계적인 에너지 절약과 환경보존에 대한 관심과 요구가 증가함에 따라 소비전력규제와 CFC삭감에 대응한 국제경쟁력 확보가 중요한 과제로 대두 되고 있다. 이러한 상황변화에 따라 냉동 공조기기의 심장부인 압축기에 대 해서도 고효율 및 저소음화의 요구가 한층 높아졌다. 따라서 가혹한 환경에 도 견딜 수 있는 압축기의 개발은 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 소형밀폐형 압축 기는 크게 두 부분으로 나뉘어진다. 그 하나는 모터에 의한 회전구동부이고, 다른 하나는 실린더와 피스톤 그리고 밸브로 구성된 압축기구부이다. 그 중 에서 밸브는 진동 및 소음에 영향을 미치는 기본요소가 된다. 압축기의 밸브 는 근본적으로 밸브포트와 실린더 형상에 의해 결정되며, 이런 형상조건하에 서 밸브는 연속적인 운전이 되어야 하므로, 그 응답성이 좋아야 하고 무엇보 다도 자체의 신뢰성도 확보되어야 한다. 따라서 밸브의 동적특성과 응력 분 포를 정확히 예측하는 것이 중요한 과제가 된다. 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터를 이 용한 밸브의 동적특성과 응력해석을 위해 밸브의 형상을 유한요소 패키지인 ANSYS를 이용하여 해석하고, 그 모델링 및 해석이 타당성을 검토하기 위하 여 동적 특성해석은 홀로그래피(Holography) 기술을 이용하여 실험하고, 응 력해석은 스트레인 게이지(strain gage)를 이용하여 결과를 얻어서 서로 비 교하여 보았다.

In the recently, the necessity of the hybrid type linear stepping motor(HLSM) of linear motion digital actuator has been increased in the various fields of the automatic control system. The HLSM is directly performed without any converting mechanism. Therefore, the HLSM is better advantaged in the efficiency and economical view than a rotary stepping motor. In this paper, we have designed an optimum tooth shape by the 2D finite element method(FEM) to develop the HLSM with longitudinal flux machine(LFM) type, and calculated the thrust force and normal force. And we have manufactured the prototype of it, and have experimented the thrust force characteristics of it.

Due to the tendency to use high speed pneumatic cylinders to improve productivity, cushioning devices are adopted to decelerate the piston motion of pneumatic cylinders to reduce noise, vibration, and impact. This paper presents a comparison of the cushion characteristics of a high speed pneumatic cylinder with a relief valve type cushioning device. The system parameters selected are the damping coefficient, Coulomb friction, heat transfer coefficient, and cracking pressure of the relief valve in the air cushioning device. The integral of the time multiplied square error (ITSE) is used to quantitative measure the cushioning performance to assess the effect of varying these. The cushioning performance achieved good results when the ITSE is a minimum value. In a comparison of the piston displacement and velocity with the variations in system parameters, the heat transfer coefficients are not as significantly affected as the other. Also, the cracking pressure of the relief valve is mainly affected by the pressure and temperature in the cushion chamber.

The statics relation of the Stewart platform has been investigated from the viewpoint of the forward and inverse force transmission analyses. Two eigenvalue problems corresponding to the forward and inverse force transmission analyses have been formulated. The forward force transmission analysis is to determine the ranges of the magnitudes of the force and moment generated at the end-effector for the given magnitude of linear actuator forces. In reverse order, the inverse force transmission analysis is to find the range of the magnitude of actuator forces for the given ranges of the magnitudes of the force and moment at the end-effector. The inverse force transmission analysis is important since it can provide a designer with a valuable information about how to choose the linear actuators. It has been proved that two eigenvalue problems have a reciprocal relation, which implies that solving either of the eigenvalue problems may complete the forward/inverse force transmission analysis. A numerical example has been also presented.
