A large five-axis gantry-type machine performs cutting operations by moving the gantry, along with a bed. During operation, there are three sources of position (zig-zag) errors: 1) the position difference between two control motors on the X axis, 2) friction difference from the different column weights, and 3) torque of the rotating spindle. This study improved the performance of a gantry-type machine by analyzing these three error sources. We changed the mass of a column in the gantry structure and measured the effect on the friction result. We also studied the spindle torque influences on the movement performance of the gantry in relation to the spindle rotation.

$TiN{\times}$박막은 우수한 내마모성 및 내부식성, 높은 경도 그리고 열적 안정성 등으로 인하여, 절삭공구 및 기계적 부품의 하드코팅, 2차 연료 전지용 확산방지막의 코팅재료로서 광범위하게 사용되어지고 있다. 일반적으로 $TiN{\times}$ 박막은 화학 기상 증착법(CVD)을 이용하였으나, 최근에는 대면적에 균일한 코팅이 가능하고 기판과 박막상의 부착력이 우수하며, 프로세스를 제어하기 쉬운 물리적 기상 증착법(PVD)의 스퍼터링법에 대한 관심이 고조되고 있다. 그러나 스퍼터링법으로 증착된 $TiN{\times}$ 박막의 물성은 주상구조와 국부적 표면결함을 포함하는 박막의 미세구조에 의존하기 때문에 주상구조 사이에 존재하는 Void 와 Pinhole 그리고 crack들이 원인으로 작용하여, 내부식성 및 기계적 특성이 급속도로 저하되는 단점이 있다. 이러한 단점을 보완하기 위해서, 본 연구에서는 기판온도를(RT, $200^{\circ}C$, $400^{\circ}C$)증가시켜 실험 하였다. 이는 온도증가에 따른 박막의 치밀화가 이루어지고 결함이 감소하여 내부식성 특성향상이 기대되어진다. 또한 플라즈마 밀도를 높이기 위해서, 기존 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링법에 전자기장을 추가로 인가하였다. 이는 플라즈마 밀도증가에 따른 고반응성의 질소 래디컬의 생성율 증가에 기인하여 박막 형성시 질화반응을 촉진시킴으로써 박막의 치밀화 및 내부식성 특성향상이 기대되어진다.

A plasma gas control apparatus for semiconductor plasma etching processes securely holds a cathode for forming a plasma, confines the plasma during the plasma etching process, and discharges gas after etching. It is a key part of the etching process. With the advancement of semiconductor technology, there is increasing interest in parts for semiconductor manufacturing that directly affect wafers. Accordingly, in order to replace the plasma gas control device with a CVD-SiC material superior in mechanical properties to existing SiCs (Sintered-SiC, RB-SiC), a study on the grinding characteristics of CVD-SiC was carried out. It is confirmed that the optimal grinding condition was obtained when the result table feed rate was 2 m/min and the infeed depth was $5{\mu}m$.

Automatic magnetic abrasive polishing (MAP), which can be applied after machining of a mold on a machine tool without unloading, is very effective for finishing a free-form surface such as a complicated injection mold. This study aimed to improve the efficiency of MAP of a non-ferrous mold surface. The magnetic array table and control of the electromagnet polarity were applied in the MAP of a free-form surface. In this study, first, the magnetic flux density on the mold surface was simulated to determine the optimal conditions for the polarity array. Then, the MAP efficiency for polishing a non-ferrous mold surface was estimated in terms of the change in the radius of curvature and the magnetic flux density. The most improved surface roughness was observed not only in the upward tool path but also in the working area of larger magnetic flux density.

One of common challenges in designing modern production machines is realizing high speed motion without sacrificing accuracy. To address this challenge it is necessary to maximize the stiffness of the mechanical structure and the control system with consideration on the main disturbance input, cutting forces. This paper presents analysis technologies for realizing high stiffness in production machines. First, CAE analysis techniques to evaluate the dynamic stiffness of a machine structure and a new method to construct the physical machine model for servo controller simulations are demonstrated. Second, cutting forces generated in milling processes are analyzed to evaluate their effects on the mechatronics system. In the effort to investigate the interaction among the structure, controller, and process, a flexible multi-body dynamics simulation method is implemented on a magnetic bearing stage as an example. The presented technologies can provide better understandings on the mechatronics system and help realizing high stiffness production machines.

It is very difficult to polish non-magnetic materials by the magnetic abrasive polishing (MAP) process because magnetic force is required for MAP, but the magnetic force for non.magnetic materials is low. In this study, we aimed to develop a magnetic array table and control the magnetic polarity such that the magnetic force can be increased for the MAP of non-magnetic materials. The newly designed magnetic array table has 32 electro magnets, and the magnetic polarity of each electro-magnet can be easily controlled by changing the electric polarity. It was analytically verified that the magnetic flux density of non-magnetic materials can be varied by varying the applied magnetic polarity.

The purposes of this research were to evaluate the relationships of between characteristics of noise and annoyance of dental hygienist by noise in dental clinic. To investigate the dental clinic workers' reactions to noise when occurred in dental clinic, the noise level test in dental clinic and questionnaire were taken. As a result of noise evaluation, It shows that the range of noise level was 67.7~78.3dB(A) and frequency was very high (more than 4KHz). It's seem to be begins occurrence of stamina-loss, contraction of peripheral blood vessel, decrease of adrenocortical hormones. Most of respondents were affected by noise: 67% of respondents were nervous about noise and the rest of respondents were bearable. Analysis by NR-curve showed that it was exceed the noise permit level in working space. As a result of correlation - test, the more exposed dental hygienist to noise, the more felt the unpleasantness and fatigue. It's hard to sufficient explanation to patients about the dental treatment. So it's thoughts that insufficient explanation will negative impact on the patients' satisfaction and increase competitiveness in dental clinics. To remedy a unpleasantness and fatigue of noise in dental hygienist, it's considered that making an offer the ear protection and choosing the low noise-vib. equipment and using the masking effect. Therefore, It can be provide a pleasant working environment with dental hygienist and It will have a great advantage to dental clinics to improve their competitiveness.
