Phone camera lens module is assembled with a barrel, multiple lenses, multiple spacers and a shield. The major processes of manufacturing system are injection molding, coating and assembly processes, and each process has multiple machines. In this paper, we introduce a scheduler based on simulation model which can be used for frequent rescheduling problem caused by urgent orders, breaking down of molds and failures of machines. The scheduling algorithm uses heuristic Backward-Forward method, and the objective is to minimize the number of tardy orders.

A flexible assembly line (FAL) is a production system that assembles various parts in unidirectional flow line with many constraints and manufacturing flexibilities. In this research we deal with a FAL balancing problem with the objective of minimizing the maximum workload allocated to the stations. However, almost all the existing researches do not appropriately consider various constraints due to the problem complexity. Therefore, this study addresses a balancing problem of FAL with many constraints and manufacturing flexibilities, unlike the previous researches. We use a genetic algorithm (GA) to solve this problem. To apply GA to FAL. we suggest a genetic representation suitable for FAL balancing and devise evaluation method for individual's fitness and genetic operators specific to the problem, including efficient repair method for preserving solution feasibility. After we obtain a solution using the proposed GA. we use a heuristic method for reassigning some tasks of each product to one or more stations. This method can improve workload smoothness and raise work efficiency of each station. The proposed algorithm is compared and analyzed in terms of solution quality through computational experiments.

Test methodology is diversity by devices and the number of test pattern is tremendous because the digital circuit includes TTL and CMOS family ICs as well as high density devices such as ROM and RAM. Accordingly, the quick and effective test strategy is required to enhance the test productivity. This paper proposes the test strategy which is able to be applied efficiently to the diversity devices on the digital circuit board by analyzing the structure and characteristic of the digital device. Especially, this test strategy detects the faulted digital device or the faulted digital circuit on the digital board using SSA(Serial Signature Analysis) technique based on the polynomial division theory The SSA technique identifies the faults by comparing the reminder from good device with reminder from the tested device. At this time, the reminder is obtained by enforcing the data stream obtained from output pins of the tested device on the LFSR(Linear Feedback Shift Register) representing the characteristic equation. Also, the method to obtain the optimal signature analysis circuit is explained by furnishing the short bit input streams to the long bit input streams to the LFSR having 8, 12, 16, 20bit input/output pins and by analyzing the occurring probability of error which is impossible to detect. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed test strategy is verified by simulating the stuck at 1 errors or stuck at 0 errors for several devices on typical 8051 digital board.

Recently operation and maintenance cost of gas turbine engines has been issued as a major parameter in terms of designing and manufacturing. Accordingly, the conception that the maintenance and repair of an engine has to be conducted in assembled condition has been spreaded out. However, it is possible only if the prediction of the engine performance is clearly identified. In this study, therefore, a diagnostic code of the engine performance has been developed by using GPA(Gas Path Analysis) and Fuzzy Logic which can analyze the engine performance and estimate the health parameters. The prediction of the quantitative performance deterioration of the established model of the turbo-shaft engine for SUAV has been achieved in a satisfied level compared to that obtained by GSP code.

In this paper, The planar waveguide slotted antenna is presented for a satellite communication of vehicles. In stead of the microstrip patch array antenna having a dielectric loss and a feeding loss, the proposed antenna has the 3-layered waveguide feeding network structure for assembling easily. Also this antenna can receive mechanically both RHCP and LHCP transmitted from a satellite using a polarizer made from a thin single layer film. The Gain of the proposed 4X8 array antenna is 27.5dB and the gain of 8X16 array antenna is 32dB.

This paper deals with the tracking control problem of industrial robotic manipulators with unknown or changing dynamics. The proposed method makes use of multiple moodels and switching mechanism by fuzzy inference of the manipulator in an indirect adaptive controller architecture. The models used for the indmtification of the manipliator are identical, except for the initial estimates of the unknown inertial pararmeters of the manipulator and its load. The torque input that is applied to the joint actuators is determined at every instant by the identification model that best approximates the robot dynamics. Simulation results are also included to dermnstrate the improvement in the tracking perfermance when the proposed method is used.s used.

In this paper, we address a design problem and a case study of a K-stage inspection system, which is composed of K stages, each of which includes an inspection process and a rework process. Assuming the type I and II errors of inspectors and the re-inspection policy for items classified as good, we determine the smallest integer of K which can achieve a given target defective rate. If K does not exist, holding the current values of the type I, II errors, we search reversely a new vector, (the defective rate of an assembly line, the defective rate of a rework process), which can give the target defective rate. Our formulas and methodology based on our K-stage inspection system could be applied and extended to similar situations with slight modifications.

최근 전세계적으로 유가상승 및 환경에 대한 관심이 증대되면서 자동차 업계에서는 차량 경량화를 통한 연비향상에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 대표적인 기술개발 사례로서 초경량 철강 차체의 개발을 들 수 있다. 이는 고장력강을 적용함으로써 강성을 증대시킴과 동시에 두께감소에 의한 경량화를 이루고자 추진되고 있다. 하지만 고장력강은 자체의 높은 강성을 지니고 있는 반면, 일반 강종에 비해서 스프링백이 크고 용접성도 많이 떨어지는 제약을 안고 있다. 아크 용접법 중 하나인 AC pulse MIG 용접은 DCEP (direct current electrode positive) 와 DCEN (direct current electrode positive) 구간이 주기적으로 반복하는 용접법으로 스패터 발생이 거의 없으며 특히 갭 접합성이 우수하여 자동차 차체 조립공정에 적용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 자동차 차체용 AHSS 소재의 겹치기 용접 실험을 통해 실제 생산라인에서 용접 이음부에 발생되는 갭에 대해 강건한 용접 공정 조건을 제시하였다. 먼저 고속카메라 촬영을 통해 AC pulse MIG 용접에서 EN ratio 변화에 따른 와이어 용융현상을 분석 하였으며 단면마크로, 인장시험, 인장 파단면 분석을 통해 겹치기 용접에서 0~2mm 사이의 갭 발생에 강건한 용접 조선을 제시하였다.

In this paper, we presents virtual lecture contents to study educational robots assembling focused on the beginners with little or no background about electronics. Considering the target students, we developed 'virtual laboratory' using flash animation and the students can assemble the robots virtually with mouse and keyboard. Also, the contents includes lectures about some basic electronics theories. electronic devices, and the electronics tools for the beginners. With the features described above, this contents would be useful for the beginners and elementary school students who want to assembling their own robots.

The industry producing the parts of aircraft engines is a traditional order-made system with highly variety and small quantity, and the manufacturing system is the typical job shop with identical or non-identical multiple machines in a workstation. Furthermore, there are many alternative operations and alternative machines allowed in machining processes, and tremendous routings and assembly operations should be considered. Usually simulation is the most efficient technology to analyze such a complex system, and high modeling skills are required for developing the simulation models. In this paper, a case study on a company which produces the parts of aircraft engines is introduced, specially focused on simulation modeling methodologies for the complex system.
