To reduce the chattering errors of reed switch sensors in the automatic remote measurement of water meter a reed switch sensor was analyzed and improved. The operation of reed switch sensors can be described as a mechanical contact switch by approximation of permanent magnet piece to generate an electrical pulse. The reed switch sensors are used mostly in measurement application to detect the rotational or translational displacement. To apply for water flow measurement devices, the reed switch sensors should keep high reliability. They are applied for the electronic digital type of water flow meters. The reed switch sensor is just mounted simply on the conventional mechanical type flow meter. A small magnet is attached on a pointer of the water meter counter rotor. Inside the reed sensor two steel leaf springs make mechanical contact and apart repeatedly as rotation of flow meter counter. The counting electrical contact pulses can be converted as the water flow amount. The MCU sends the digital flow rate data to the server using the wireless communication network. But the digital data is occurred difference or won by chattering noise. The reed switch sensor contains chattering error by it self at the force equivalent position. The vibrations such as passing vehicle near to the switch sensor installed location causes chattering. In order to reduce chattering error, most system uses just software methods, for example using filter algorithm and also statistical calibration methods. The chattering errors were reduced by changing leaf spring structure using mechanical characteristics.

In the deployable solid surface antennas, the effects on the performances of antenna due to the structural errors that occur during the deployment are analyzed. The deployable solid surface antennas employed in a satellite are launched in folded configuration and those are deployed in the space environment, and the effects on the antenna performance are calculated depending on the type of surface errors. When the deviation error occurs in one panel, the degradation of performance appears in the side where the incomplete deployment of panel occurs. By assuming that the panel error distribution is in cosine function, the effect of errors are calculated and analyzed with regard to the types and the magnitude of the error. If the antena panel error is uniform, the gain is reduced and pattern is symmetric. For the panel error of cosine 1 or 3 cycle, the main lobe tilts while the pattern is symmetric and the gain reduces for 2 or 4 cycle error.

Nowadays reduction of gear noise in power transmission is very important, because the noise regulation is severe and demand of customer on noise is increased. To reduce gear noise, it is necessary to understand the noise characteristics of helical gear. In this work, we designed test rig for the study of gear noise and installed in semi-anechoic chamber. By using this rig, sound pressure level is measured under varying rotational speed and torque. The frequency characteristics of helical gear noise on the effect of lead errors and torque are discussed.

Recently, the precision ball screw becomes the essence of the high-precision industries and is playing a key role in the positioning devices. The standard and definition of pitch error in a precision ball screw is specified by KS, JIS or ISO. However, the method of measuring the pitch error is not concrete. In this study. laser measurement system(LMS) with a laser position transducer and a machine-tools is developed. In order to verify the stability of the LMS, several experiments with the standard ball screw is performed.

The leadwire cutting machine that has been used recently cuts leadwires by putting one-side force with the same priciple as a saw, and applies a stress at soldered part of PCB. Because the stress becomes one cause of contact-defect, a leadwire cutting robot that cuts leadwire-site with nipper and does not apply stress is considered, In this paper a technique of detecting leadwire-site is studied for the purpose of using on automatic leadwire cutting robots. A technique deriving 2-dimensional site-information with many I-dimensional binary data of perspective front-view of PCB taken from various direction was proposed. Simulation and experiments were done under the same condition each other and a small universal PCB was choosen as an experimental object. As a result of simulations and experiments, the proposed technique turns out to be very useful for automatic leadwire cutting robots.

외계행성 탐색시스템 18k 모자이크 CCD 카메라는 4개의 9k CCD로 구성되며 총 32개 채널의 영상영역과 리드아웃 회로를 가진다. 관측 영상에는 각 영상영역에 대한 오버스캔(overscan) 영역이 포함되는데, 영상 신호에 의한 오버스캔 영역의 바이어스(bias) 교란을 최소화하기 위해 리드아웃 회로의 인버팅 앰프에 대한 Common Mode Rejection Ratio(CMRR)를 미세 조정하였다. 그 결과 세 사이트의 평균 CMRR이 55 dB에서 73 dB로 향상되었고, 기존에는 영상 신호에 따른 오버스캔 바이어스 레벨의 선형적 관계가 약 2/1,000의 기울기를 가졌으나 조정 후에는 약 2/10,000로 바이어스 오차가 줄어들었다. CCD 리드아웃 회로의 미세조정과 클락(clock) 개선을 통해 물결무늬 잡음 제거 및 읽기 잡음 감소가 이루어졌으며, 향후의 추가적인 바이어스 안정화와 크로스톡 개선 방안이 검토되고 있다. 카메라 전자부 조정 과정 및 결과와 더불어, 카메라 듀어와 부대장비 유지보수, Polycold CryoTiger 냉각기 운영 및 개선 관련 노하우도 함께 발표한다.

This study proposes a new screw measurement system that is capable of measuring the pitch or lead of a screw, which is one of the most important parameters representing the screw quality. There are various conventional methods for screw measurement including some mechanical and optical ones, but they can not be applied to measure the lead except the profiles or sizes. The newly suggested method is able to measure the pitch or lead directly. This is executed by scanning the thread with a digital probe while the target screw rotates. The devised measurement system is a integrated computer system which is composed of a stepping motor, a digital linear gauge and a chuck device for holding the measured screw. In order to operate the system effectively and conveniently, a computer program having graphical user interface facility is developed. Some experiments were done to prove the effectiveness of the system.

This study evaluated the automated system of the roll bending process, which is one of the difficult processes. In the past, 20 cartridges were produced per hour. but Automation changed it to a process that produces 50 pieces per hour. The average value of production was 57.6 pieces per hour, error of repeatability was 0.03 mm, average roll diameter error value was 0.49 mm, average alignment error value was 0.09 mm and average process lead time was 43.21 seconds. This paper presented specific evaluation methods such as productivity, repeatability, defect rate, alignment defect rate, and process lead time. It is thought that the contents performed in this study will be helpful in the verification of other automation systems in the future.

In this paper, the finite element models for composite lattice structures were verified through natural frequency test. Finite element models of composite lattice structure were generated using beam, shell and solid element. Natural frequencies were measured using impact test method under free-boundary condition. The natural frequencies of finite element analysis for shell and solid element showed a good agreement with experimental results. But beam element did not show a good agreement with experimental results, because beam element could not consider the degradation of mechanical properties of non-intersection parts for composite lattice structure.

This study deals with the effect of the honing in SCM420H planetary gears. The hardness, tooth profile, lead and roughness of the gear surface can be improved by honing. Therein, the honing techniques are welcomed especially as one of the physical surface improvement methods. As a result, gear honing reduces vibration and noise, and will increase the life of gear. And gear honing also changes the surface of gear tooth in a short time and price, so it is a very important method in manufacturing industry. But nowadays, it is hard to find the detail information of gear honing. The test gear is a planetary gear which is used in the automotive industry. It is manufactured by the hobbing, shaving, carburizing and honing. This study investigates the effect of honing in surface shape of SCM420H planetary gears, including fatigue strength test and characteristics of honing of SCM420H planetary gears.
